Lupe Fiasco - WAV Files lyrics

Wade with us
Baptize and convert to the waves with us
I tuned in to what the future holds
I could never be a slave, niggas
They gon' have to pay me, Navy
Downloaded by the tidals like Jay-Z
That's a roll offshore like an AP, Davy
Jones' locker on top of those hoppers
Off the side of the ship
Suicide, didn't die from the dip
Submarine man, keep your eyes on the blips
Sonar, echolocation, know where we are facin'
Get back to our nation oh, Lord!
So we walkin' back to Africa
And I found a detour to the seashore
Yes, jumped off the deck
To leave footsteps on the depths
Of the sea floor, ayy

My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white 'cause


They bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home
I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my
Feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white 'cause
They bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home
I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my
Feet just like Jesus Christ
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, ayy

Yeah, uh dive with us, vibe with us
Imbibe with the tide
Sea salty 'cause it cry with us when
We looked it in the eyes
Like how could you help her?
Poseidon apologized and said that I'm sorry
We're shelter
Y'all can live down here forever
Drownin' is severed
From all your lungs and the
Lungs of your sons
Tell your daughters the water's a treasure
Summon the forest talkin' to trees
Now how could you be in the chorus
With something so horrid?
You became boards for the floors and
The doors of the warships
Anthropomorphic, the forest returned
With a match made from it'self and said
"Burn us with that"
Then left again and came back with a axe
We can serve you as furniture
Or furnace us black, ayy

My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white 'cause
They bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home
I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my
Feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white 'cause
They bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home
I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my
Feet just like Jesus Christ
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, ayy

Yeah, uh rise with us
From out the sevens to the Heavens
In the skies in us
Conversations with the constellations
While you navigate the haters
Black baby alligator baiters
Supposed to do greater
With all of your alphas and betas
And minors and majors
You were so busy just tryin' to shine
You shoulda been tryin' to save us
Star said, "Excuse our behavior
We will be indebted to you
For all of eternity
If you counseled your heart and forgave us
Remove all our favors from childrens
Of sailors and slavers repay you with acres
But here in the heavens
Where harvest is greater
A meager inheritance, pardon our arrogance
Those with Americans, guide them
To places much safer, ayy"

My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white 'cause
They bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home
I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my
Feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white 'cause
They bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home
I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my
Feet just like Jesus Christ
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, ayy

Seas, all that I have for you, forest
Fire and maps for you, stars
Fall off the flag for you, sugar
Sweeten the path for you, seas
All that I have for you, forest
Fire and maps for you, stars
Fall off the flag for you, sugar
Sweeten the path for you, seas
All that I have for you, forest
Are fire and maps for you, stars
Fall off the flat for you, sugar
Sweeten the path for you, seas
All that I have for you, forest
Are fire and maps for you, stars
Fall off the flag for you, sugar
Sweeten the path for you
