Lecrae - Dirty Water lyrics
[Lecrae - Dirty Water lyrics]
Hold up, hold up, hold up
Ya'll gon' get me bowed up
When that beat hit it's like three kicks in
Yo' knees up to yo' nose, huh you knows us
Unashamed, Uno Uno Seis, whoa
Tatted on my skin, all up in yo' 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 tryna get to know you
I'm too busy readin' Daniel
Most segregated time of day is Sunday service
(My Lord) 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 cause
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 (think about it)
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
(yeah) dirty water dirty water dirty water
Dirty water
Ya'll gon' get me bowed up
When that beat hit it's like three kicks in
Yo' knees up to yo' nose, huh you knows us
Unashamed, Uno Uno Seis, whoa
Tatted on my skin, all up in yo' face, whoa
