Verse 1
Mercury: I’m the closest to the boss, yeah, my surface stay scorchin’, No shade, no chill, just solar distortion, You flexin’ with oceans? I’m molten devotion, But your waves would vaporize in my orbit’s motion. Venus: I’m the goddess with the heatwave, sulfur in my sky, Greenhouse glow, thick clouds, yo, I’m too fly, But deep in my haze, I dream of your blue, Rainfall dreams, if I only had a clue. Mars: Red dust hustler, canyon king, I’m raw, Olympus Mons tall, yeah, I stand in awe, But I’m dry inside, no tides to call home, Wish my valleys ran deep where your rivers roam.
Pre-chorus
Planets dreamin’, schemin’, orbitin’ the truth, Water’s the flex that divides the booth, From molten fire to frozen ice, They envy the Earth, that liquid life.
Chorus
Earth (arrogant tone): I got that drip that the cosmos can’t sip, Oceans on wave mode, yeah, I let it rip, Hydrocycle on spin, atmosphere thick, Life breathin’ rhythm, that’s my cosmic trick. Drip from the cosmos, flow don’t stop, From pole to pole, I let that drop, Every other planet wanna talk that talk, But none got water in the way I walk.
Verse 2
Jupiter: Big boss gas, got the weight, no cap, Sixty moons deep in my gravitational trap, But no wave crash, no surf, no splash, I’m a storm in a suit, pure pressure, no flash. Saturn: Rings icy clean, cosmic bling on show, But I’d melt ‘em for oceans with a liquid glow, Imagine waves ‘round my rings in a golden flow, Instead, I’m just cold, that’s the pain I know. Pluto: Exiled, frozen, nitrogen heart on lock, I orbit slow motion, watchin’ planets talk, If I thawed one time, I’d flood the block, But your water, Earth, that’s the key to shock.
Bridge
(Sun, interrupting) Y’all wildin’ ‘bout drips and waves and seas, I’m the one bringin’ heat to your planetary pleas, If I had your water, I’d cease to be, So keep your oceans, I’ll keep the energy.
Chorus
Earth: I got that drip that creation craves, Life in the flow, surf through the waves, From coral cities to the mountain graves, Every tide I ride rewrites the page. Drip from the cosmos, envy don’t fade, From dust to diamond, the truth displayed, I’m the proof that the void can be remade, One drop of blue, that’s the power I’ve laid. --- [Outro – (All Planets in Unison)] Stars hum low, the beat turns black, Each planet spins, dreamin’ of that, The Sun still burns, tryin’ to act all that, But water runs deep, no flame can match.
Inside the recording
Yo, welcome to the void, I’m the light and the flame, I burn through the dark, every planet knows my name,
Planets dreamin’, schemin’, orbitin’ the truth, Water’s the flex that divides the booth,
Earth: I got that drip that creation craves,
