Lyrics and translation
Original
I can't hear myself
Float, float
Can't nothing bring me down
When you're around I seem to float
No I'm-, no, I'm not-, no, I'm not the same
No I'm not the same, no I'm not the same (float, float)
No I'm not the (I'm caught up in the sky)
No I'm not the same (I look into your eyes)
I think I done changed (and I just float)
(Float, float, float, float)
No I'm not the same nigga
I think I done changed nigga
See something not the same nigga
I used to walk into the room head down
I don't walk now I-
Float!
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin' onto that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don't step
I don't walk
I don't dance
I just float!
Float, float, float
I don't dance, I just float
Float, mmm, float, float
Float, mmm, I just float
I'm light as a feather, I'm light as a feather, yeah, baby I float
It's hard to look at my resume, whew, and not find a reason to toast
She throwing that thang in a circle, making it viral, I might just elope
Say listen lil' mama, you like Shibari? Watch while I show you the ropes
I used to let niggas get to me
I used to be my own enemy
Now I done had several epiphanies
Over some breakfast at Tiffany's
Had to forgive all my frenemies
They are not who they pretend to be
I had to protect all my energy
I'm feeling much lighter now I
Float!
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin' onto that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don't step
I don't walk
I don't dance
I just float!
Float, float, float
I don't dance, I just float
Float, mmm, float, float
Float, mmm, I just float
All white attire, check out the robe, I'm fresh like the Pope
I'm doing my dance, on catamarans, and you godda cope
I'm counting my blessings, we ain't stressing, jus' look at this glow
I got that magic, I'm really prepared for whatever, whenever
So who want the smoke?
Came back from the future to take all yo' niggas and take all y'all hoes
They said I was bi, yeah, baby I'm bi, a whole 'nother coast
She stay in the hills, he stay in Atlanta, I pay for them both
My face card don't come with a limit, I swipe it, I spend it
I swear I be doing the most
Float!
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin' onto that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don't step
I don't walk
I don't dance
I just float!
Float, float, float
I don't dance, I just float
Float, mmm, float, float
Float
Can't nothing bring me down
When you're around I seem to float
Float, float, float, float, float, float
