Water (with Mahalia)

I'm sure you've heard this all before
 Sure you look familiar, sure the cost of living
 Keep on rising with no limits
 N-Name a politician gave a fuck about your feelings
 Name a single trend that didn't end up like a gimmick
 Think there's something in the water
 Tell me what the mission is, I see lead showers
 Codeword, Flint Michigan
 Attire match my melanin
 Black on Black is militant
 Represents my diligence
 I see through that privilege
 Something's in the water
 ♪
 I think there's something in the water
 And I still don't watch the news
 Barely trust the facts now
 Liar liar liar, throwing stones then hide your hands, wow
 That don't make no man proud
 Tears might make my city drown
 I'm too scared to speak to God
 There's shooters in the churches now
 Something's in the water
 Tell me what the mission is
 Just another citizen that sacrifices my discipline
 Still don't know my origin
 Still don't know who's listening
 Still can't tell the difference between
 Strength and my conditioning
 Something's in the water (something in the water la-la)
 I think there's something in the water
 ♪
 Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
 I've been gone a while now
 Never thought I'd come back to this
 Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh
 I heard we been falling down
 Watchu mean we're falling down to this
 I don't get this fuckery
 This was never taught to me
 I don't know how we got here
 Oh so suddenly
 Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
 I'm standing at the border
 And there's something in this water
 Something's in the water

 I think there's something in the water

 Something's in the water

 I think there's something in the water
 ♪
 It seems all we do is talk and never
 Listen to the fiction clear as water
 That it's all a masquerade
 For the love of my addiction
 Tire marks and 911's, hear no evil, see no evil in my lane
 Same old story, pain, and glory
 Fit inside your categories, numbers said I wouldn't see another day
 What more can I say?
 I think the rain my guardian angel
 Fall from heaven just like Gabriel, come and take away the pain
 Something's in the water
 Bad things in the water
 Something's in my brothers
 Something like no other
 I can't put my finger on it
 All I know is we don't want it
 All I know is if we carry on then we will fall
 All I know is if we take this on then we will lose it all
 Something's in the water
