The Riches

i love standing by the water
and just knowing what it's for
it's alright to swim and sip it
let me have a little more
like my woman, like my shower
get them hot until their steamin'
love to find a little spot, nice and shady
that's for dreeamin'
of the riches
oh, tell me where are you hidden
cause ready or not babe i'm coming to you
into the life
into the life
into the life of riches
streaching out in the sun
like a cat in the window
hills are changing colors
as i'm watching shadows throw
i'm laughing at ?
cause my stomach in the stiches
early bird on the perch looking down
can see all the world's riches
oh, tell me where are you hidden
cause ready or not babe i'm coming to you
into the life
into the life
into the life of riches
never looking over my shoulder again
i wanna bide my time and bury on my faith
if you tell me no, then i really must insist
when the hunt is over, kiss me on my lips
so lets talk about our plan
you can count it's gonna work
carry on, feel immortal
at the risk of gettin' hurt
i praying that it rains
so some day we'll be so wet
living through a little pain
no complaining
as we're training
for the riches
oh, tell me where are you hidden
oh, all of a sudden
there you are
