Alarm goes off dreaming of barrels
Jump outta bed grab my wetsuit like a hero
Step outside ocean's flat as a pancake
Damn
Flat spell blues hit hard
First stop the cave-nada
Second stop the reef-bupkis
Third time I walk back like a fool
Man I swear the ocean's trolling me hard
No swell no wind just a glassy sea
Even the seagulls look bored judging me
Old dude smirks "Kid take a seat
You 'bout to learn how we handle these days offbeat "
Step one-grab some cards play some sh*thead
Step two-hit the hammam sweat out your dread
Step three-sip that tea let time slip
'Cause the ocean don't owe you a single script
Flat day in Ouassane what we do?
(One two three we chillin' real smooth!)
Ain't no waves? Ain't no stress!
(When the tide rolls back we gon' surf our best!)
By noon I'm knee-deep in a sh*thead game
Lost three rounds but I'm keepin' it tame
Next stop hammam steam in my brain
Eucalyptus burnin'-man that's the flame!
Outside cats nap in the midday glow
Locals laughin' takin' life hella slow
I sip my mint tea watch the sky
Realize man no waves? No lie
Ain't never been a day without somethin' to do
Even when the ocean's actin' brand new
No swell today? Bet it's comin' through
Patience homie-that's the surfer's truth
Flat day in Ouassane what we do?
(One two three we chillin' real smooth!)
Ain't no waves? Ain't no stress!
(When the tide rolls back we gon' surf our best!)
Sometimes man the best surf trip days
Ain't even about the waves
It's the vibe the people the wait
Ouassane I see you
Next swell we on
And as I leave the old dude shouts
"Kid the ocean's like life-full of droughts
But when it gives it gives big no doubt
Now go wax your board the waves'll come out "
Yeah respect old man Respect
