About

According to Gorillaz mythology, he dumped them on the beach, held up a mic, and recorded the freestyle they spit. As such, this is an introductory track to the Plastic Beach where the album takes place,...

White Flag Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro: National Orchestra for Arabic Music]

[Verse 1: Bashy]
Ayy, look, yo, no castaway, no survivor
I ain't lost and this ain't shipwrecked
I feel small in this big wide world
And mommy 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, 'cause
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'd never guess who I saw!

[Verse 2: Kano]
Uh, uh, uh, it's K-A
Look, skip on the beat like Ali in the gym (Yeah)
Honey, I'm home, this is where I wanna live (Yeah)
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, bye to the ends
Look, no feds, 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
Swagger on a hundred degrees, no eighty
Look, if Heaven had a VIP
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

[Verse 3: Bashy & Kano]
Cool! White flag! White flag!
Uh-huh, 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 till 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
Integrated, and we ain't leavin'!
We come on a peace ting
White Flag? White Flag!

[Instrumental Outro: National Orchestra for Arabic Music]
