Lifeboats (Freestyle) - Jorja Smith

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 the plunge just to get in

Life's not full of shallow ends, your house ain't full of armbands

Stay afloat, someone might put their arm out to help you

I don't know, I would

If I saw somebody drowning in a sea of self-confusion

I wanna be the one to try and understand why their tide ain't coming in

And their lighthouse ain't shining, mmm

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 richest staying afloat?

Seeing all my brothers drowning even though they nicked the boat

Mothership ain't helping anyone

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

Soaking kids with the lies before they even got to ten, mmm

Sailing the internet waves, a tsunami of wires

A flood to take us under if we can't afford the life jackets

Majority don't even have the life jacket

Majority might fall where the tax brackets

The minority might jump to the next bracket

On a form to sign up for a raft and a pay packet

With the same old unemployed age bracket

Even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged

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
