Blueprint - Be Like Water lyrics
[Blueprint - Be Like Water lyrics]
Be like water like water
Be like water
Thoughts take form
Clouds gather round and turn the color gray
It's a brainstorm that brings on heavy rain
Animal and man both try to stay away
Because I flow until the levees break
It takes integrity
To prove yourself is someone I should save
You need water, I am water, we not the same
Your kind of rhyming makes Poseidon misbehave
Brag about streams
I'll snatch your tidal wave
So act brave, dive in, swim with me
Most artists are too shallow to sink deeply
This ain't the mainstream
Going with the flow is risky
You chase the current
Now your flagship act is sinking
The kind of flow that makes
Michael Phelps cry for help
The clouds cried when the rhyme was felt
Huh, it happens much faster than you think
There's water everywhere but not
A drop to drink
Like water be like water
Like water be like water
I change forms but I'm no magician
When I appear out of thin air
It's no deception
They thought they could slow me
Down with a cold reception
But didn't know it molded me
Into a stronger weapon
The cold weather makes me
More potent for opponents
The know the hail's coming when
They see the Heavens open
Rappers standing still like
They taking selfies, posing
They got trapped in time
Cryogenically frozen
I bring the snowstorm to anyone
You think is nice make the frostbite down on
Anything they write drop the temperature
Make it hard to sleep at night
You find a rhyme card then
55-foot sheets of ice
The kind of flow that makes
An Eskimo hate the snow
Head south and leave the Northpole
Huh, it happens much faster than you think
There's water everywhere but not
A drop to drink
Like water be like water
Like water be like water
Be like water
Thoughts take form
Clouds gather round and turn the color gray
It's a brainstorm that brings on heavy rain
Animal and man both try to stay away
Because I flow until the levees break
It takes integrity
To prove yourself is someone I should save
You need water, I am water, we not the same
Your kind of rhyming makes Poseidon misbehave
Brag about streams
I'll snatch your tidal wave
So act brave, dive in, swim with me
Most artists are too shallow to sink deeply
This ain't the mainstream
Going with the flow is risky
You chase the current
Now your flagship act is sinking
The kind of flow that makes
Michael Phelps cry for help
The clouds cried when the rhyme was felt
Huh, it happens much faster than you think
There's water everywhere but not
A drop to drink
Like water be like water
Like water be like water
I change forms but I'm no magician
When I appear out of thin air
It's no deception
They thought they could slow me
Down with a cold reception
But didn't know it molded me
Into a stronger weapon
The cold weather makes me
More potent for opponents
The know the hail's coming when
They see the Heavens open
Rappers standing still like
They taking selfies, posing
They got trapped in time
Cryogenically frozen
I bring the snowstorm to anyone
You think is nice make the frostbite down on
Anything they write drop the temperature
Make it hard to sleep at night
You find a rhyme card then
55-foot sheets of ice
The kind of flow that makes
An Eskimo hate the snow
Head south and leave the Northpole
Huh, it happens much faster than you think
There's water everywhere but not
A drop to drink
Like water be like water
Like water be like water
