Lyrics of Numba 1 (Tide Is High) by Kardinal Offishall
intro
Light it up!
Everybody light it up!
Come, Rihanna, light it up!
Fi Kardinal, light it up!
chorus
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
verse
She just my part-time lover, pretty likkle ting
Nothing I would ever think about giving a ring
Nothing but a pretty likkle overnight fling
Even though she wanna be the queen to my king
verse
She ain't nothing but a work for my ginseng
Someone I would use to bust my box spring
She would a number one, not di badda-bing
Badman nah go badda wid di wife-wife ting
verse
She gotta know she the girl on the side
On the left of the rest, number two on my mind
There's no way she could be my girl
But she steady tryna come into my world, not uh
chorus
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
verse
Yo! She's just my trophy piece, mi hot-hot gyal
Never ever would I call her Ms. Offishall
Never ever would I bring her around my fam
She be crying on the phone, but she knows who I am
verse
Mr. Kardinal, voice of the people
Black Jays family our verses are lethal
I don't have time for the play-play
She a good chick yo, but I'm married to the game
verse
Married to the fame, related to the paper
Tryna get my name put up on a skyscraper
There's no way she could be my wife
But she's steady tryna come into my life, not uh
chorus
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one (your number one)
bridge
Those other girls ain't nothing like me (you don't know, baby)
Just give me the chance and boy you will see that (what?)
I'm not the kinda girl
Who'll just get down like that
Oh, no!
verse
On the real, I ain't gonna front ya
The fox to a lot of hound dogs on the hunt
You the push to a lotta kush, rolling a blunt
You the hottest in the dance, but you ain't what I want
I'm a businessman, tryna get the business
Just tryna wuk out ya physical fitness
There's no way you could get that ring
But I hear all the hotty-hotties in the place sing
chorus
The tide is high, but I'm holding on (the tide is high)
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
chorus
The tide is high, but I'm holding on (I'm holding on then)
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
outro
Light it up!
Everybody light it up!
Come, Rihanna, light it up!
Fi Kardinal, light it up!
