offwhyte - waterfront lyrics

[chorus]
i’m standing at the waterfront
and i’m looking out for all of ’em
so if they come, then let ’em come
you’re only safe if you are a friend

i’m standing at the waterfront
and i think i can see the eyes of them
so if they come, then let them come
the results will be embarr-ssing

[hook 1]
the fearless feel misery, but it’s tearless
catch grief for being a realist
drama nonstop like the theater of war and its imperialists
getting grief for being a realist

[verse 1]
i’m from the midwest where the dust make your eyes squint
and elements get under your skin
add a little selfless work that goes unaccounted for
the same things always mattered before
right, right
i metabolize and then i victimize
get ’em upset, you can see the cracks in their disguise
it’s gonna break
goes to show you can’t leverage fate
dreams are the avenues that i take
look away at the carnage
aren’t you unaccustomed to see it tarnish
fever regardless
plus i’mma fulfill the promise
and recreate the painstaking memory
like jailbreaking your soul
beyond control
forged by the love of the people as a whole
that’s crafted on the strength
what the f you think
my ancestors spill blood
so i spill ink from the pen
under the premise that we gonna win
so if it don’t do what you want it to do
gut the structure, touch the texture
use your best estimate
but do what you gotta do
to finish the rest of it
and get ahead of it

[chorus]
i’m at the waterfront
and i’m looking out for all of ’em
so if they come, then let ’em come
you’re only safe if you are a friend

i’m standing at the waterfront
and i think i can see the eyes of ’em
so if they come, then let ’em come
the results will be embarr-ssing

[hook 2: x2]
what it was, it was
and what it is, it is
and it’s at the waterfront

[hook 1]
the fearless feel misery, but it’s tearless
catch grief for being a realist
drama nonstop like the theater of war and its imperialists
getting grief for being a realist

[verse 2]
an elder approached me, spoke closely
said don’t be afraid to think long-term
he said inevitably there’s going to be wrong turns
but that’s just a test of your concern
i was raised to be an engineer and forge my future
interchangeable parts is what i use
to make the world make sense
break first defense
put a crooked number up over the fence
here’s to reinventing yourself
putting everything through a vetting process
without anybody to tell
i take a stand, then make a scene to make a statement
like everything you just said don’t even make sense
p-ss the stop and go
lay ’em all flat like dominos
get to the top and scream galapagos
don’t hold anything back, this is the front
the ledge
the bleeding edge
it’s everything that you want

[chorus]
standing at the waterfront
and i’m looking out for all of ’em
so if they come, then let ’em come
you’re only safe if you are a friend

i’m standing at the waterfront
and i think i can see the eyes of ’em
so if they come, then let ’em come
the results will be embarr-ssing

[hook 1]
the fearless feel misery, but it’s tearless
catch grief for being a realist
drama nonstop like the theater of war and its imperialists
getting grief for being a realist
