Look no castaway no survivor
I ain’t lost and this ain’t shipwrecked
I feel small in this big wide world
And mummy ain’t said honey I shrunk the kids yet
I ain’t Jesus but I’m walking on water
There’s no bombs here there’s no war cuz
I can break out of jail with a lighter
So is there any point in making laws blood
This ain’t atlantis are you sure
I nearly suffocated when I touched the shore
No rain condoms get poured
And up the road you’ll never guess who I saw
Skip on a beat like Ali in the gym
Honey I’m home this is where I want to live
Just found it like Nemo on the de-low
I don’t know if it’s greener but it’s green though
On the other side of the fence
Bye to the ends, look no feds no stress no rent
No superficial shit it’s real folk
Where the woman look hot but the beats cold
And the speech goes like hi little lady, sex on a beach
Wanna try for a baby word in the village I’m a little bit crazy
Swagger on a hundred degrees no eighty
Look if heaven had a VIP 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
White Flag, white flag
No war no guns no poor just life
Just love no hype just fun no ties
Just me and my mic just me and my wife
But tell me if I’m dreaming
Cos I don’t want to wake up till the evening
And I don’t want to be left sleeping
from all the diseases that I breathe in
Look respect the island no stealing
And don’t bring religion here no three kings
Integrated and we ain’t leaving
We come on a peace thing
White flag white flag
