Ab-Soul, Anderson .Paak, James Blake - Bloody Waters lyrics

Meet the man in the mask
Meet the man in the mask
All those days in, all that stays in
I don't keep it, I won't be here for it
All those days in, all that stays in
I don't keep it, though
I won't be here for it

Yes, Lawd, huh hail Mary's in the sky
(Hail Mary's in the sky)
False prophets get buried alive (Alive)
Head on the throne
'cause that's where I reside (Reside)
Ways of the world, the weak won't survive
Somethin's in the water (The water)
Ayy, my nigga, we lawless (Lawless)
Please move with caution
Who set the fairway? (Fairway)
Damn right, I need all this (All this)
Yeah, Jack, I need all this, ayy

Hittas acquitted with fingerprints
On the Glock
Screamin', "We gon' make it" like
Two-thirds of The LOX yeah yeah, yeah yeah
"Pow pow" becomes "Blah, blah"

Blood on my hands, I'ma need hot agua
You gon' meet yo' maker
I won't say it in Patois
Hope I strike a nerve like
A package of matches you might wanna bypass
This smoke ain't gas trick
A prince turned pauper tryna do like kings do
Sweatin' in chess games
Tryna move like kings move
You should slow your roll before
You drown in a moat
He tried to channel balance
But never found the remote
Killers on the prowl still juggin' off a lick
Still a with a double for his bleep
Common politics, everlastin' mayhem
Draw to stick you for your
Figures, that's how they hang, man
So what's your game plan if you got one?
You aimin' at passengers with a shotgun? Whoa
The aftermath is you in the scope
It's warfare is war fair? No
You understand? It's probably
Better you don't
Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat
Ships set sail and planes depart
The big picture's in motion
Are you playin' your part?
Before the lights get dark and
The curtains get closed
Are you playin' your role?
As told by an organized criminal
In general, get off my genitals
I got your general

Hail Mary's in the sky
(Hail Mary's in the sky)
False prophets get buried alive (Alive)
Head on the throne
'cause that's where I reside (Reside)
Ways of the world, the weak won't survive
Somethin's in the water (The water)
Ayy, my nigga, we lawless (Lawless)
Please move with caution
Who set the fairway? (Fairway)
Damn right, I need all this (All this)
Yeah, Jack, I need all this, ayy

I had to be about nine when
I first had seen it
Low-lows pulled up outside of the Ralph's
After a car show at Dominguez
They had a disagreement, they had to air out
(Air out) just another day in Del Amo
Fo' sho', man down, mando
(Thank) thank God I never had
To knock your partner off
Or be another casualty of war, amen
There's four footprints in the
Sand where I walk
I never claimed to be a saint at all
Four Russians trippin' with hollow tips
And a Kalashnikov, aimed at y'all
(Kla-kla-kla) no, Soulo, ho, kept it clean
Ridin' dirty, jury would have gave me thirty
Herbie love buggin' out
Hit the target blindfolded
Electorial college devoted to hit the score
To write the score that's not a metaphor
Ragin' against the machinery
Tapin' up the scenery
You gotta keep the piece to keep the peace
Got dough, squad up and mopped the block
Up for a cleanin' fee

I don't need you to change
I don't need you to change
Yourself (Get, get away, get away)
But I've got to get away
(Get, get away, get away)
I've got to get away
(Get, get away, get away)
For my health (Get, get away, get away)
(Get, get away, get away)
Be as free as you can
(Get, get away, get away)
Be as free as you can
(Get, get away, get away)
Away from me (Get, get away)
I tried to be a saint like everybody else
