lupe fiasco - glass of water lyrics

[verse 1]
a glass of water
held up to the lips of the marauder
dry and flakey looking like they haven’t had a sip in days
the glass kisses the lips, drawing from them instant praise
they also says, i was more rudderless than a ship
without a captain adrift
on the ocean of life, no destination in sight
but now i see, what it means to be in need of the preservation of life

[verse 2]
a glass of water with a goldfish inside
used to swimming in the river, this a whole different vibe
feel like a fish outta water, now harbors in new tank
dressed in camouflage, soldiers in uniforms salute it from the ranks
like thanks for your service, and everything you do behind the scenes
and beneath the surface, like a disguise
in the distorted reflection of the surface of the fish eyes

[interlude: instrumental]
yeah, yeah, uh, uh
yeah, yeah

[verse 3]
glasses of water, eyes filled with tears
got the world looking blurry
like a monet painting
not a cloud in the sky
but each cloud of eye of my hard times
and crying will have the whole world raining
umbrellas provide shelter
put the tent up
release the pent+up emotions to feel better
growing pains, sewing lanes, irrigation is making the fields wetter
that’s a glass of water, the scent reminds you of the tap from your childhood home
like an old friend, you relish the familiar taste
no matter how mundane that it may have been and
the right glass might send you to a past life
make you want to live your new day like a last night
as you maraud through the weather that you can’t see
stick an umbrella in it if you feelin’ fancy, yeah
