KXNG Crooked, Joell Ortiz - Flood Waters lyrics

Marvin Gaye did a album called Here
My Dear, it was just right
Made the album so the royalties
Could be alimony for his ex-wife
This is alimony for the fans (Gangster)
Always give a fuck about whoever
Put you where you are, that's (Gangster)
Buck this, why you smoking
On a little west coast? (East)
Don't spill, you do say all on your retros
(Side)
Every strap got me feeling like
I'm wearing wet clothes
Gun like a dick sucker in a hearing aid
It's giving deaf blows (Grah-rah-rah-rah)
Keep a piece but I meditate just to keep
The peace in a better state (Say what?)
I don't need the beef if it's featherweight
These frequencies help me elevate (For what?)
To a different plane like a aboriginal
Adolescent on a walkabout


Ghosts from the past all around
Benz pull up to a haunted house
A lot of funerals in my family this year
This is my therapy, nigga
Music always help paring me, nigga
Apparently, it took care of me, nigga
Haters coming at me terribly
I'ma get you Indian Cherokee
Get socked out for the heresy
I'ma rock him like I'm Eric B., nigga
Maybe we should
Just walk away (Like fuck sliding)
Both of us live another day (Like fuck dying)
All my phones smoking gurkhas (Yeah)
Running plays like a wide out
My backyard is my hideout
Sometimes I just need to vibe out
Ayo, Silk, what's happening with you?
What's the word? (What's up, Crook?)
Me and Joell about to run a powerplay
I need you to fuck with us
Man (I got you)
My nigga, yo, hit that brother slide
On the three way
We can't do this shit without him

Flood waters keep rising
Thou shall must have beef with Poseidon
Lies live while our loved ones are dyin'
Tears got my real eyes realizing
Paradise ain't what it used to be, no
Talk about it, I don't usually
Fooling myself expecting shit could change
They still shackling us
With shoddy chain (Question!)
Who made this prison so luxurious?
For us, for us
Heaven on earth is not so dangerous
For us, for us

Man, it's so heavy out here right now
I feel like the air got more weight
Than it's ever had
Y'all don't feel that?
Yo, good looking Sly, word
Ice melting in my drink as I sit
And think like it's still happening
Kaepernick took a knee
Then Derek Chauvin did as a reaction
Time heals all wounds, huh?
Why the fuck I feel
Like I'm still scattered?
Anxiety, PTSD
And depression forming these pill habit's
Zombies using phone screens
As a smoke screen to they real life
Subconsciously in competition
With your last post but they hit like
Ironically a heart pops up
But it's no love that come with that
Twerk video, run it back
Share a death post then double tap
On a life quote, fuck is that?
COVID-19 got us under mask
Give me 6-feet, why you coughing?
6-feet, we lower coffins
Another lost one so often
We becoming numb
No more one-on-ones, we just run our guns
That conundrum that got me wondering
If the love is done and just eight left
I take breathe, yeah, the deacon
Meditate with a clean mind
Try to levitate and not decline
I elevate with each rhyme
And demonstrate I'm in the prime of my life
And what I write, it's cold as ice
Ain't gotta freeze time, I'm nice
Feel like the younger me
Gene strong, good dungarees
Team gone, it's just sun and me
Yeah, me and son, like one of these
Vacays that I breathe on
Smilin', wildin', just tryna stay
Above water, on these islands
But

(How come)
Flood waters keep rising
(Hmmm, seems like)
Thou shall must have beef with Poseidon
(How come)
Lies live while our loved ones are dyin'
(These times)
Tears got my real eyes realizing (Ohhh)
Paradise ain't what it used to be, no
Talk about it
I don't usually (Fooling myself)
Fooling myself expecting shit
Could change (Ohh)
They still shackling us
With shoddy chain (Question!)
Who made this prison
So luxurious? (So luxurious)
For us (For us) , for us (Now heaven)
Heaven on earth
Is not so dangerous (So dangerous)
For us (For us) , for us
