Water (with Mahalia)

I'm sure you've heard this all before Sure you look familiar, sure the cost of living Keep on rising with no limits N-Name a politician gave a fuck about your feelings Name a single trend that didn't end up like a gimmick Think there's something in the water Tell me what the mission is, I see lead showers Codeword, Flint Michigan Attire match my melanin Black on Black is militant Represents my diligence I see through that privilege Something's in the water I think there's something in the water And I still don't watch the news Barely trust the facts now Liar liar liar, throwing stones then hide your hands, wow That don't make no man proud Tears might make my city drown I'm too scared to speak to God There's shooters in the churches now Something's in the water Tell me what the mission is Just another citizen that sacrifices my discipline Still don't know my origin Still don't know who's listening Still can't tell the difference between Strength and my conditioning Something's in the water (something in the water la-la) I think there's something in the water Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god I've been gone a while now Never thought I'd come back to this Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh I heard we been falling down Watchu mean we're falling down to this I don't get this fuckery This was never taught to me I don't know how we got here Oh so suddenly Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god I'm standing at the border And there's something in this water Something's in the water I think there's something in the water Something's in the water I think there's something in the water It seems all we do is talk and never Listen to the fiction clear as water That it's all a masquerade For the love of my addiction Tire marks and 911's, hear no evil, see no evil in my lane Same old story, pain, and glory Fit inside your categories, numbers said I wouldn't see another day What more can I say? I think the rain my guardian angel Fall from heaven just like Gabriel, come and take away the pain Something's in the water Bad things in the water Something's in my brothers Something like no other I can't put my finger on it All I know is we don't want it All I know is if we carry on then we will fall All I know is if we take this on then we will lose it all Something's in the water
