Lyrics Jorja Smith

Jorja Smith

Lifeboats (Freestyle)

And it all falls down, yeah

And it all falls down again

And it all falls down, yeah

And it all falls down

How can you learn how to swim before you get in?

Sometimes you got to take a plunge just to get in

Life's not full of [?] and you house ain't full of [?]

Stay afloat, someone might put the armor on to help you

I don't know, I would

If I saw somebody drowning in the seas of confusion

I wanna be the one to try and understand why the tide didn't come in

And their lights ain't shining

So why do we all fall down

If there's a reason we can stay afloat?

Why do we watch them drown?

We're too selfish in the lifeboats

Why do we all fall down

If there's a reason we can stay afloat?

Why do we watch them drown?

So why are all the riches staying afloat?

See all my brothers drowning even though they're in the boat

Mothership ain't helping anyone

See, the ships are getting bigger, full of greedy wasteful men

So can kids with the lies before they even got to ten?

Sailing the internet waves, a tsunami of wise

Afloat to take it under if we can't afford the life jackets

Majority don't even have the life jacket

Majority might fool with the tax bracket

So minority might jump to the next bracket

On a phone to sign up for a raft and a paid pocket

With the same old unemployed age bracket

Even money sinks to the bottom when it's watered up

So nobody truly stays afloat

So why do we all fall down

If there's a reason we can stay afloat?

And why do we watch them drown?

We're too selfish in the lifeboats

Why do we all fall down

If there's a reason we can stay afloat?

Why do we watch them drown?

And it all falls down, yeah

And it all falls down again

And it all falls down, yeah

And it all falls down
