[Jean Deaux:] They say there's gon' be a
downpour They say the
water's gon' wash away my people (You tell them, you tell them I'm coming, tell them then...) [Mick Jenkins:] You probably gon' need a
boat I'm thinking kindred to Titanic, like why panic It all depend on who whipping that bitch [?] to slave masters, punish a
slave faster It all depend on who whipping that bitch She stripping, it all depend on who tipping that bitch I
bet it's no king of diamonds She showed those niggas love, diamond in rough That's a
ten of clubs, they told her it was gon' rain They told her "do those drugs" then she'll feel no pain Nigga check the
correlation, ideas realized by corporations In communities where people are too poor for patience Ooh, I
know you hear that truth that I
spit like a
relaxed tooth Cold turkied all the
politics, I'm relaxed proof Cold shouldered all the
ops they probably cashews If you can't see the
tree, in truth, you probably think cash rules I
got no time for your living, writing pennies for the
thought Drop a
dime for your living, look around nigga, we can see the
signs are the
limit Section 8
'bout as low as the
pigeons, we did it, too fly My nigga too fly, our people dying I
ain't kidding like a
[?] [Jean Deaux:] They say there's gon' be a
downpour (They say there's gon' be a
downpour) They say the
water's gon' wash away my people (They say the
water gon' wash us away, no) Everybody gon' need a
boat (Everybody gon' need a
boat) They say there's gon' be a
downpour (They say there's gon' be a
downpour) [Jean Deaux:] I
thought that it was simple, we treading water from my house My body is a
temple, he bows and prays that he makes it back to the
shore I
feel my head flooding with thoughts, temples sore as shit Tryna figure out how you got me open, preposterous oceans Catch you floating on your merry boat there My thighs is hurting, my soul is yearning, my feelings current The
tides can be a
current, we were burning Tell us 'God is gon' save us" now where was this nigga when rain didn't let up The
whole thing is set up soon as we get away my brothers always getting wet up You tell me that you love me, but I
can't remember times he was chill when shit was ugly It's you that's gone that fucking hurting me, who the
fuck you think you is, the
black Hercules? And you supposed to the
save the
world, ain't it the
perfect dreams? We walked the
perfect seas, desert the
Earth and save the
dragon He gave you super powers, ain't that how it fucking happens? I
lose a
love you, lose a
life, now ain't that fucking tragic? And I'm just supposed to praise the
Lord and live in all the
madness? (Live in all the
madness) [Jean Deaux:] They say there's gon' be a
downpour (They say there's gon' be a
downpour) They say the
water's gon' wash away my people (They say the
water gon' wash us away, no) Everybody gon' need a
boat (Everybody gon' need a
boat) They say there's gon' be a
downpour (They say there's gon' be a
downpour) [Mick Jenkins:] Row out, row out, row out, row out Row to up in a
boat Oh that boat we were drowning and it's true Who left us drowning and it's true Row out, row out, row out, row out Row to up in a
boat Row to up in a
boat
