It must be somethin' in the water they drink
|
It's been the same with every girl I had
|
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
|
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
She was everything I needed
|
Atleast that's what god's contract between us stated
|
After 25 years of my experience of her lack of maternal instincts
|
I found I've defeated all odds to make it
|
Without a mama's love now I feel out of place
|
Extra wounds for a man who's never seen his father's face
|
As mama freebased the money for my high school tuition
|
From my stepfather's home I would always catch an eviction
|
Or a swift punch to the face
|
Bleeding rivers of red, fled to any quiet place
|
I couldn't believe that she said
|
He meant more to her than I did, just goodbye kid
|
I hope you die kid is what I viewed through my busted eyelids
|
I slit my wrist and sit and watch the droplets run on the floor
|
My cousin kicked in the door, nigga I was at war
|
With who was supposed to be my life bringer
|
The all knower, my nourisher, my aspiration encourager
|
I figured the fault's due to how my uncle assaulted you
|
And grandma died still believing it wasn't true
|
But I'm your only child, how can you turn your back on me
|
I cannot accept your apology
|
I'm sorry you dead to me mommy
|

(Treat a man so bad so bad so bad.
|
You need someone to love you) It must be in the water
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Why you making me leaving you much more feasable than staying
|
I gave you everything, please be reasonable
|
You're my queen by which all other women will be judged
|
I wanted to die so much with nobody to trust
|
Deep down, I felt that she was just another liar
|
Now I wouldn't spit on her if she was on fire
|
Presice way to describe it, damn I shoulda been out
|
Our relationship a hand grenade, you just pulled the pin out
|
No doubt, my world was on the rocks
|
My life a car crash on the side of the road, y'all slowin down to watch
|
I'ma leave silently tonight, you'll never find me
|
I guess i'm tired of seeing my best friend's car parked in my driveway bitch
|

Yeah, it's in the water

[Verse 3]
|
I met you 8 years ago
|
Your smile captivated my soul which was miserable
|
I fell in love with you instantly
|
I knew I wanted to protect you from this world
|
You were related to my girl
|
And even after only one year of your life
|
Your intelligence and love for me shined so bright
|
I was only 17 but it didn't take me long
|
To realize that I wanted to raise you as my own
|
And although biologically there is no tie that binds
|
There is no blood test that could tell me you ain't mines
|
And its never been kept a secret for who your real father is
|
But that motherfucker don't know what your favorite color is
|
And he don't know in school what your favorite subject is
|
And when you have bad dreams at night you call my name not holler his
|
And sometimes I wonder if you found me or I found you
|
And I would never say a bad word about that man around you
|
The older you get, the closer we get, It's harder for me
|
I hate the way your mom's family gives us family priority
|
Or authority when he told child support "Look she ain't mines"
|
Where was they when he was giving your moms black eyes
|
But the fact lies and now whatever
|
Our last name's the same
|
And you and your sister's future is filled with anything you dream
|
But I gotta realistically look upon tomorrow
|
To the first time you get upset at me and say "You ain't my father"
|
