Dirty Water

Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
 Ya'll gon get me bowed up
 When that beat hit it's like three kicks
 And your knees up to your nose, huh
 You knows us
 Unashamed, Uno Uno Seis, whoa
 Tatted on my skin, all up in your face, whoa
 If I ain't bout that live, then I ain't really livin
 But if you can't see my light then maybe I ain't in it
 Champagne, champagne, celebratin my campaign
 I just dug a well in West Africa
 But how many of my friends is African, huh?
 No habla español, just show me tu baño
 Ain't trynna get to know you, I'm too busy readin Daniel
 Most segregated time of day is Sunday service
 Now what you think that say about the God you worship?
 First of all, I know it ain't a song that's gon change the world
 There's no way
 It's not a guilt trip, it's a field trip that's gon last more than one day
 What you thought, huh?
 Faith ain't bout no soft stuff
 I heard you just went overseas, now come back home and boss up
 Buy a bottle for a fee, dirty water
 Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
 Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water, dirty water
 Buy a bottle for a fee, dirty water
 Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
 Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water
 Ain't no filters in this town, dirty water
 Worthless, worthless, 400 years we done heard that
 My family came here on slave ships
 Some herd cattle, some herd blacks
 Know some of ya'll done heard that
 My kin was treated less than men
 That's why we raised to hate each other, cause we hate our skin
 Lies you told about yourself that you don't realize
 I must be a thief, she locked the doors when I was walking by
 They must be whores cuz the master rapes them and leaves
 The child
 So dead beat daddy was taught to me way before my time
 Now we extreme, buying fancy things like gold chains
 Just pretty shackles, we still enslaved
 Put 'em round your neck, cuz we still hangin'
 Hood preacher told 'em they should live as kings
 You call him devil, he fightin for self esteem
 It's hard to dream when your water ain't clean
 Now look at Lucifer's scheme as how to be in a team
 Blood in the ocean to these African streams
 This dirty water ain't nothin we haven't seen
 Buy a bottle for a fee, dirty water
 Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
 Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water, dirty water
 Buy a bottle for a fee, dirty water
 Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
 Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water
 Ain't no filters in this town, dirty water
