  • Look, yo, no castaway, no survivor
    I ain't lost and this ain't shipwrecked
    I feel small in this big wide world
    A mummy ain't said 'Honey, I shrunk the kids' yet
    I ain't Jesus but I'm walkin' on water
    There's no bombs here, there's no walkers
    I can break out of jail with a lighter
    So is there any point in making laws, blud
    This ain't Atlantis, are you sure
    I nearly suffocated when I touched the shore
    No rain, condoms it poured and up the road
    You'll never guess who I saw

    Uh, uh, uh, it's K-A
    Look, skip on the beat like Ali in the gym
    Honey I'm home this is where I wanna live
    Just found it like Nemo on the d-low
    I don't know if it's greener, but it's green though
    On the other side of the fence, bind to the ends
    No fence, no stress, no rent, no superficial shit, this real flow
    Where the women look hot, but the beach cold
    And the speech goes like, hi little lady
    Sex on the beach, wanna try for a baby
    Word in the village, I'm a little bit crazy
    Swag up on a hundred degrees, no eighty
    Look, if heaven had a V-I-P, uh, this is it, white sand, blue sea
    But I don't know who they are and I'm damn sure they don't know me
    But I come in peace

    Cool, white flag, white flag
    No war
    No guns
    No Corps
    Just life
    Just love
    No hype
    Just fun
    No ties

    Just me and my mind
    Just me and my wife
    But tell me if I'm dreamin'
    'Cause I don't wanna wake up 'til the evenin'
    And I don't wanna be left sleepin'
    From all the diseases that I breathe in
    Look, respect the island, no stealin'
    And don't bring religion here, no three kings
    It's great and we ain't leavin'
    We come on in peace, sing
    White flag?
