I'm on a Boat Lyrics
Aww shit
Get your towels ready, it's about to go down
Everybody in the place hit the fucking deck
But stay on your motherfucking toes
We running this, let's go
I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me because I'm sailing on a boat
I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat
I'm on a boat, motherfucker, take a look at me
Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can't stop me, motherfucker, because I'm on a boat
Take a picture, trick
I'm on a boat, bitch
We drinking Santana champ
Because it's so crisp
I got my swim trunks
And my flippie-floppies
I'm flipping burgers, you at Kinko's
Straight flipping copies
I'm riding on a dolphin, doing flips and shit
The dolphin's splashing, getting everybody all wet
But this ain't Sea World, this is real as it gets
I'm on a boat, motherfucker, don't you ever forget
I'm on a boat and
It's going fast and
I got a nautical themed
Pashmina afghan
I'm the king of the world
On a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore
Then you're sure not me-oh
Get the fuck up, this boat is REAL!
Fuck land, I'm on a boat, motherfucker
Fuck trees, I climb buoys, motherfucker
I'm on the deck with my boys, motherfucker
This boat engine make noise, motherfucker
Hey ma, if you could see me now
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow
Going to fly this boat to the moon somehow
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible
Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat
It's a big blue watery road
Poseidon
Look at me, oh
Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat coming my way
Believe me when I say
I fucked a mermaid
I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me because I'm sailing on a boat
I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat
Sha-sha-shorty, shorty, yeah
Get your towels ready, it's about to go down
Everybody in the place hit the fucking deck
But stay on your motherfucking toes
We running this, let's go
I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me because I'm sailing on a boat
I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat
Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can't stop me, motherfucker, because I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat, bitch
We drinking Santana champ
Because it's so crisp
I got my swim trunks
And my flippie-floppies
I'm flipping burgers, you at Kinko's
Straight flipping copies
The dolphin's splashing, getting everybody all wet
But this ain't Sea World, this is real as it gets
I'm on a boat, motherfucker, don't you ever forget

Yeah My Take on This too..... I dont wanna go into too much detail.... But I'm Pretty Sure They're on a boat
I'm on a boat and DON'T YOU EVER FORGET
I think this song has a deeper meaning, you know it's about the feeling you get when somebody has betrayed you and you feel this feeling of not being worth anything. It's like first love and all you know, it's hard to explain...
sorry, just trying to be pretentious
nice try but sry ur not rele making sense...

You guys are over simplifying this song. Like most rap songs, its meaning is much deeper than it appears.
It's clear by the theme of this song that the boat is a metaphor for Jesus Christ. No one can stop them, and everyone should take notice (as they claim in the lyrics) because their faith is so firmly planted.
The references about the experience on the boat be wonderful can be equated to happiness that leading Christian life brings, and the sadness and emptiness the opposite imposes.
Near the end of the song the lyrics suggest that they thought they'd never be on a boat, which is obviously a silly thing to say since "being on a boat" in not a difficult goal to reach :P With these lyrics they are emphasizing that its a silly thing to think you can't or won't be accepted to the Kingdom of the Lord. All you need to do is accept Jesus Christ into your life, you can find out more at http://www.thetruthforyouth.com

Oh GOD really? I guess I'll have to stop listening to their music. I sure hope Jorma isn't, he's my hero.

And is "I Fucked a Mermaid" their expression of their disbelief that something so awesome could be so easy?

Yes because all Christians say f* and B*** and S every four seconds

This is hillarious. Since when do people proclaimming "the gospel" go around cussing and swearing and talking about fucking mermaids ... ? No. They are not talking about their faith being firmly planted. They are not talking about faith at all. Humour me: why would people use a multitude of cuss words and such to tell people about how beautiful and wonderful and morally pure God is? And no. Because if you'd talk to any christian (because you obviously aren't one) you'd know that being on the 'christian boat' isn't fun nor easy as the boat on this song is. If anything, this song...

If anything, this song is saying a big "fuck you" to the church rather than the opposite. I think this song is talking about having reached the top - they're famous, flying high, and can do whatever they want. They're finally "on the boat" - but we're still stuck on the sand. Now, my interpretation may be wrong, but I definetly know this is not religious propaganda. Anyways, props to you for that post. It was pretty hillarious. Comparing this song to finding God? Fucking brilliant. It sure got a laugh from me.
Rated +1 I agree with GarettM. The song is obviously about Jesus. Maybe it's about Jesus being on a boat. So, maybe it's about Jesus and his disciples being on a boat, and the boat is compared to there faith in God?

I think at the towards the end of the song, when they say they never thought they could be on a boat, I think they refer it to Jesus walk on water, and well, they're on a boat and there was a storm. And how Peter is afraid and doesn't have enough faith, and almost drowns in the water...

And how Peter is afraid and doesn't have enough faith, and almost drowns in the water to follow Jesus. So in a way, maybe the boat is Jesus too.
For the part that says 'never thought i'd see the day' I think it's about the Second Coming of Christ, and how we don't know it's coming (even though people have theories of it the 'big boat' coming there way). And the mermaid is apparently Mary Magdalene, and how she was a prositute. And she's on the boat with Jesus and his twelve disciples. And even though the lyrics suggest that they had some type of certain 'relations' with Mary Magdalene, it refers to when Jesus cast out the demons from her.
The part flippin' copies at Kinko's is about how people don't have any belief in the 'boat' and they miss out on how important it is about being a Christian (this is compared to the flippy-floppies, the swim trunks, the flippin' burgers). Though, I think the Santana Champ and the burger is Jesus Christ's body (the burger) and blood (Santana Champ). The dolphin repersents the same thing in a way.
'But this ain't Sea World, this is real as it gets' is when people say they go to church, just to say the go to church. This is not Sea World. The dolphin is the holy spirit, it's not fake, it's 'real as it gets'.
The part about taking the picture about the boat is when people are impressed with the person's faith in God, thus making people follow and doing the same thing.
Fuck land, I'm on a boat, motherfucker (this is being compared to taking the 'good road' or the 'bad road'. The 'good road' is to heaven, with Jesus. The 'bad road' is to hell. The land is the bad road, take the boat to go to heaven) Fuck trees, I climb buoys, motherfucker (same thing with being on land or the boat) I'm on the deck with my boys, motherfucker (Jesus and his 'boys' are on the boat) This boat engine make noise, motherfucker (the Holy Ghost is strong)
I'm the king of the world On a boat like Leo If you're on the shore Then you're sure not me-oh (same thing. how great it feels to be Christian, compares to not believing in the one and only God)
That's all I can say as of now, but I'm probably going to play this for Church. How great it is to believe in God! :)
Also, T-Pain freely admits he's a Muslim. So, two Jewish guys and a Muslim made a song about how great Christianity is? I doubt it. Also, I've never seen gospel that swears so much or talks about f-ing mermaids.

Did "Nice Boat" come to mind for anyone else, or was that just me?
This song will probably be stuck in my head for the next few weeks...
Nope, you're not the only one ;) I was thinking of "Nice Boat" first time I heard this too.

doesn't anyone realize how fucking sexy andy samberg is in this video??
holy shit i would do everything to him!!!
Agreed. :P
Agreed. :P
This song is about them being on a boat. (featuring T-Pain) Also, they are also trying to make it seem that they're on some ubr dubr cool boat. But really, It's a rental. =^..^= Great song, awsome flow.
As said before, this is simply a brilliant piss take of Akon in his video for i'm so paid...

...and it applies equally to numerous other dumb bling bling gangsta rap/RnB artists that would rather show off how much worthless bling they can afford rather than make decent music.
The ironic thing being that this Lonely Island track is actually better than the music of all of those artists put together!! - it really is a very well written, well arranged piece of "pop" music.
THEY'RE ON A BOAT MOTHERFUCKER, DON'T YOU EVER FORGET!!! ..and they're taking the living piss whilst displaying far more talent than all those dumb materialistic gangsta idiots put together.
BRILLIANT!
