[Intro]
(Aye, aye—Lil Boat vibes, but the tide might be running low…)
[Verse 1]
You set sail quick, with hooks sweet like candy
Nautical name, red braids—drip lookin’ dandy
Skated to the mainstream, caught that wave for a while
But the bigger the crowd, the smaller your style
“Cold like Minnesota” had the internet buzzin’
Now your flow’s watered down, got the critics all fussin’
[Chorus]
“Hey Lil Boat, the sea’s gettin’ choppy, mate
You’ve gone commercial—where’s that raw 808?
Don’t lose yourself in the mainstream rush
’Cause your wave might crash when the hype ain’t enough”
[Verse 2]
Your brand endorsements flash, but fans want that spark
We see the glitz, but the soul’s lost in the dark
From SoundCloud star to a pink-jacket phase
You’re drippin’ confetti but forgettin’ the base
You once had that quirky, carefree bite
Now it’s all marketing—like, is the soul still in sight?
[Bridge / Ad-Libs]
(Aye, keep rowing, keep flowing—don’t let the tide steal your thunder!)
[Outro Hook]
“Lil Boat, your tide’s run low—don’t drift off course!
Keep that original flair, or sink with no remorse!”
