Water (水) (explicit Album Version Explicit) - The Roots[00:00:00]
South philly north side[00:00:00]
Oakland texas[00:00:03]
Georgia black people[00:00:06]
Yo worldwide sup my n**ga[00:00:08]
You know what I'm saying[00:00:14]
Dumb and blind[00:00:17]
They say a record ain't nothing if it's not touching[00:00:20]
Gripping draw you in closer make you want to listen to it[00:00:23]
And if you real ill at making music[00:00:26]
Then lesson will feel like you livin' through it[00:00:28]
That's how my n**ga do it[00:00:30]
I met slacks back in like '91 rapping[00:00:31]
We went to millersville to get away from gun clappin'[00:00:34]
It ain't last[00:00:36]
I be in class dreaming 'bout[00:00:37]
50 000 fans up in the stands screaming out[00:00:39]
Encore yo I'm headed back to philly[00:00:42]
N**ga you rollin' with me[00:00:44]
I'm trying to get busy[00:00:46]
We walk dogs that was off the chain[00:00:47]
Lot of times at the show people hardly came[00:00:49]
I just took it in stride as part of the game[00:00:51]
But inside people down with me started to change[00:00:54]
It was a couple things[00:00:57]
Lil' unknown lil' pills[00:00:58]
Instead of driving out on the road you rather chill[00:01:00]
I know the way the pleasure feel[00:01:02]
I'm not judging[00:01:04]
But still I'm on a mission yo I'm not buggin'[00:01:05]
I got fam that won't stop druggin'[00:01:07]
They can't sleep[00:01:09]
They can't stick to one subject they can't eat[00:01:10]
Is people steady comin' at me out in the streets[00:01:13]
Like riq yo wat up with your peeps[00:01:15]
It gets deep n**ga[00:01:17]
Yo you need to walk straight master your high[00:01:18]
Son you missin' out on was passing you by[00:01:21]
I done seen the streets suck a lot of cats dry[00:01:23]
But not you and I my n**ga[00:01:26]
We got to get[00:01:28]
Come on over over the water[00:01:29]
Come on over over the water[00:01:31]
Water water[00:01:34]
Yo we done made too many meals[00:01:38]
A couple of deals[00:01:40]
We done share clothes and wills[00:01:41]
Killed mics and reels[00:01:42]
We done rock[00:01:44]
Shows abroad and slept on floors[00:01:44]
Trying to figga what the f**k we gettin' slept on for[00:01:46]
Oh why we walking with the rep up for[00:01:49]
Waited by the cavity law[00:01:51]
You know it if you came up poor my n**ga[00:01:52]
Picture a bus up north[00:01:55]
You know we made of everything outlaws are made of[00:01:56]
I'm far from a hater[00:01:59]
And I don't say I love you 'cause the way I feel is greater[00:02:00]
In illa you a poet son[00:02:03]
You a ball creator[00:02:04]
And this will probably dawn on you later[00:02:05]
Is in you nature letters all up in the wall like they made of paper[00:02:07]
You got to find out where you talent take you[00:02:11]
You might f**k around finally make it[00:02:13]
And that's real but yo[00:02:14]
Yo you need to walk straight master your high[00:02:16]
Son you missin' out on was passing you by[00:02:18]

But not you and I my n**ga[00:02:23]

Come on over over the water[00:02:28]
Water water[00:02:32]
Yo I want you all to understand I come from south philly[00:02:36]
And when I walk the street is like a pharmacy[00:02:39]
They got all type of sh*t[00:02:41]
Anybody could get[00:02:42]
It goes from h to ex[00:02:44]
To lucy ciggarette[00:02:45]
For my ghetto legend[00:02:46]
Known from lil' shyst running[00:02:47]
Cop codeine by the courts and keep comin'[00:02:49]
Dummy just embracing the d**e like it's a woman[00:02:52]
You burnin' both sides of the rope and keep pullin'[00:02:54]
Tuggin' in between I***m and straight tuggin'[00:02:57]
Laying everyday around the way and doin' nothin'[00:02:59]
See'em looking shaking their head and start shruggin'[00:03:02]
If they don't have a man like mine they got a cousin[00:03:05]
Hey yo you better be a true friend to 'em[00:03:08]
Before the sh*t put an end to 'em[00:03:10]
Or give a pen to 'em[00:03:12]
Or lock'em up in the studio with a mic[00:03:13]
'Cause on the real it might save his life[00:03:15]
Keep tellin'em[00:03:17]
Yo you need to walk straight master your high[00:03:18]
Son you missin' out on was passing you by[00:03:21]
I done seen the streets suck a lot of cats dry[00:03:23]
But not you and I my n**ga[00:03:25]
We got to get[00:03:27]
Come on over over the water[00:03:29]
Come on over over the water[00:03:31]
Water water[00:03:34]
Yo you need to walk straight master your high[00:03:38]
Son you missin' out on was passing you by[00:03:41]
I done seen the streets suck a lot of cats dry[00:03:44]
But not you and I my n**ga[00:03:46]
We got to get[00:03:48]
Come on over over the water[00:03:49]
