Intro Yeah Count it up, lose the count Kujukushima, listen Verse 1 Old Kitamatsuura coast, salt in the breeze Islands break apart like thoughts in the sea Ninety-nine they say, but the math don’t stick Two-oh-eight official, two-one-six legit Depends how you look, how you draw that line What’s a rock, what’s a life, what survives the tide High tide isolates, low tide lies Truth change shape when the water rise Hook Ninety-nine vibes but the count stay fluid Numbers get lost when the ocean do it Rock to reef, let the coastline prove it Kujukushima, too deep to do it Count ‘em up, nah, don’t even try Every wave got a different reply Verse 2 Most of ‘em quiet, no name, no sound Unmanned dots when the sun go down Only four where the lights stay warm Kuro, Taka, Mae, Todomari form Bridge to the land, rest drift free Human noise fade into the sea Stone stay patient, birds stay real These islands don’t flex, they just chill Hook Ninety-nine vibes but the count stay fluid Numbers get lost when the ocean do it Rock to reef, let the coastline prove it Kujukushima, too deep to do it Count ‘em up, nah, don’t even try Every wave got a different reply Verse 3 Name came north, history flip Seizan borrowed it, let it drift Echo of Kisakata, past in the sound Words travel far when they circle around Tadataka mapped with a pen and a poem Seventy winters, still out here roam “Aino Bay, spring close to me” Ninety-nine isles in a life-long sea Verse 4 Saza River cut north and south Lines in the water, not in the mouth Pearl Queen slide from Kashimae dock White wake shimmer, steady don’t stop Kayaks glide, sails catch breath Japan’s best view, beauty don’t stress World said “yeah” in twenty-eighteen Most beautiful bays ever seen Bridge Oysters grow where the cold stay deep Wild and raised where the locals speak September nineteenth, mark that date Festival lights, no need to wait Final Hook Ninety-nine vibes but the count stay fluid Numbers get lost when the ocean do it Past and present, both intertwined Kujukushima, state of mind Count ‘em up?
