lyrics

When I’m jigging in the night, I’m giving em the light. Within a couple minutes I’ll be getting em to strike. You can kind of guess it’s size before beginning the fight. A little one might throw the hook but then a bigger one will bite. You think it’s lonely in the deep abyss? I’m quick to disagree. I know that you have heard there’s plenty of fish in the sea. I’ll spend a g on a charter, go hard til I can’t pull because I’m looking at a body of water that’s half full. Stay calm, I’m about to fire off some napalm. You could catch a fish even if your using bait wrong. My aims on, targeting where they spawn come dawn. Old school as a mariner with A rod when the runs strong. not a love song, but I filled it with positivity. Focusing on the bright side to the best of my ability. seeing me being negative Isn’t a possibility. When I’m looking forward to fishing and living optimistically.

I stay hopeful, and feel confident. I’ll keep looking up like I am viewing rocket ships. Walking through the park during a zombie apocalypse, having positive thoughts. I’m such an optimist.
I stay hopeful, and feel confident. Instead of racial slurs, someday they’re replaced with complements. What’s wrong with thinking that my next catch is gonna be monstrous, having positive thoughts. I’m such an optimist.

This is for the future leaders just hanging out in their boats. Cranking out some tunes and playing all of the goats. Coasting with the wind and kicking it with the folks. Staying in the water like their home’s surrounded by a moat. If you’ve been listening, my intuition says your into fishing, so my mission is to give you just a little bit of wisdom. Try to keep your riches and things in mint condition. Stay innocent. Don’t get all twisted in the prison system. Put yourself in a position to win, then get a lover. never trust your vision when you pick a significant other. If you believe we’re equal, feel free to call me brother. I treat every fisherman like kin, disregarding color. I love fishing so much that if I crashed a plane I’d be glad to stay unlike Tom Hanks in castaway. The last thing I have to say before I get this track to fade is Adam J inspired this so here’s his thanks and accolades.

I stay hopeful, and feel confident. I’ll keep looking up like I am viewing rocket ships. Walking through the park during a zombie apocalypse, having positive thoughts. I’m such an optimist.
I stay hopeful, and feel confident. Instead of racial slurs someday they’re replaced with complements. What’s wrong with thinking that my next catch is gonna be monstrous, having positive thoughts. I’m such an optimist.
