Waves (Demo) Lyrics

[Choir Enters while humming]

[Verse: 1]
Sun don't shine in the shade
Birds don't fly in a cage (Hey)
Even when somebody pass away
They don't ever really go away

[Pre-Hook]
That's just the waves

[Hook]
Waves don't die
Ay Ay Ay
Waves don't die
Ay Ay Ay

[Chorus: Choir and Chance the Rapper]
Ohh, yeah Ohh, yeah
Ohh, yeah Ohh, yeah
(hey ay ay)
Ohh, yeah Ohh, yeah

[Verse: 2]
Wanna see the bricks' right
Tired of getting swished like
They want me on the bench like
[Song tails off...]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The original version of ‘Waves’ created by Chance for Kanye West to fit into his ‘The Life of Pablo’ Album of 2016. Chance explains how he sent this to Kanye, just for him to get rid of everything but Chance’s verses which never actually make it onto the final version of the song.
