Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
|
Ya'll gon get me bowed up
|
When that beat hit it's like three kicks
|
And your knees up to your nose, huh
|
You knows us
|
Unashamed, Uno Uno Seis, whoa
|
Tatted on my skin, all up in your 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 espanol, just show me tu bano
|
Ain't trynna get to know you, I'm too busy readin Daniel
|
Most segregated time of day is Sunday service
|
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 cuz 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
|
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
|
