[Chorus: Jacob Banks, Adekunle Gold, & Samm Henshaw]
Mama said, "Boy, stay clear of the water"
When you're blue and still catchin' fire
And I've learned from my father to listen to my mother
So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore

[Verse 1: Adekunle Gold & Samm Henshaw]
Replayin' all my memories from Georgia
Passin' time to fill the void
Edging closer to the water
But I'm further than I wanna
So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore

[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: Jacob Banks]
Pretendin' I'm away in California (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Leavin' my shadow in the dust (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
It's like running from the altar to the arms of another (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore, oh (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus: Jacob Banks, Adekunle Gold, & Samm Henshaw]
When mama said, "Boy, stay clear of the water"
When you're blue and still catchin' fire
And I've learned from my father to listen to my mother
So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore
Still coolin', waitin' by the shore, oh, yeah
Still coolin', waitin' by the shore, oh, oh-oh
Coolin' like my mama's boy
[Outro: Jacob Banks]
Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm
