Rock the boat
Rock the boat
I've got the skill to kill
I've got a mind of my own
Everybody telling me to build my own throne
So I put myself up to win this race
And I fill my heart with empty space
I've got a suit of gold
And my jaw got straight
Took a lifestyle course in the office state
Stay up late and follow through
Nothing stops is the golden rule
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
I've had my pockets full and no time at all
Everybody telling me I'm ten foot tall
You're the biggest thing since the Eiffel Tower
I'm beautiful and I smell like a flower
Put myself up to win this race
And I fill my heart with empty space
I've got a suit of gold
And my jaw got straight
Took a lifestyle course in the office state
So take advice, don't rock the boat
Just strive to keep yourself afloat
Through thick and thin
You got to pay for that skin
Remember this in the age of sin
You got, fat man, thin man, talk about sin man
Everywhere temptation is the big man
Take advice, don't rock the boat
Just strive to keep yourself afloat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Boyhood now
Is a thing of the past
I'm all grown up
And I'm built to last
I've got shares in this I've got shares in you
I get a car each year from BMW
I'm a thorough bred
Built my own bed
Nothing gonna stop 'till I lay down dead
Had a girlfriend once she was always there
And now she's gone and I don't care
So take advice, don't rock the boat
Just strive to keep yourself afloat
Through thick and thin
You got to pay for that skin
Remember this in the age of sin
Fat man, thin man, talk about sin man
Everywhere temptation is the big man
Take advice, don't rock the boat
Just strive to keep yourself afloat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
So... Take advice, don't rock the boat
Just strive to keep yourself afloat
Through thick and thin
You got to pay for that skin
Remember this in the age of sin
You got fat man, thin man, talk about sin man
Everywhere temptation is the big man
Take advice, don't rock the boat
Just strive to keep yourself afloat
