mick jenkins - the waters lyrics

[intro]
you were never ready for the flow

[verse 1]
when the rain don’t fall so hard no more
and the bank won’t take my card no more
but they ain’t gon’ pull my card neither
and they ain’t gon’ pull my squads either
n-ggas spit sh-t, i hock ether
stephen hawking, no need for talking
got a hawk’s eye, but i can hardly see you
talk’s fly, pray you’re not aaliyah
i ain’t trying to rock the boat, but the flow crazy
i paint pictures, but they’re not baroque
more scorsese, n-ggas made scores out of instrumentals
n-gga type a script with a pen and pencil
use words from scripps national spelling bee
f-ck is you telling me that didn’t sound better
spitting it simple? f-ck with me, famo
ginger ale for your hoes
not sh-t else, not even my d-ck
man i got way too much on my mind
got a little light bout as bright as my bic
and y’all got way too much on the shine
y’all n-ggas don’t tell enough of the truth in the booth
and it’s proof you ain’t f-cking with mine, sip

[hook]
water more important than the gold
people for the gold
everybody do it for the gold
people save your souls
water more important than the gold
people for the gold
everybody do it for the gold
people save your souls
thank god for the waters, waters
thank god for the waters, waters
thank god
thank god for the waters, waters
thank god for the waters, waters
thank god

[verse 2]
started from the bottom of the map
roll tide at the end of the wave
in this b-tch ballpoint strapped
get back, this n-gga got a pen to the page
permanent marks, i’m a marksman, i never miss
talk sh-t, that’s a hint at your age
big chain, that’s a hint that it cage
they’re saying you’re sane, but i’m gone in 60 seconds on a verse, that’s mickalas cage
f-ck with a black young man
i’m everything that it denotes
sh-t comes straight from the heart, not a record exec in the back with a remote
n-ggas gon’ play their parts, save face on a face on the back of a c-note
everybody wanna be the back of a d-rose
but i can’t go, van gogh how i handle
paintbrush when i paint flows
n-ggas in the club throwing pesos
n-ggas on the block throwing pitch forks
and not from barbados
i don’t give a f-ck how you rep your flag
catch him in the cut when he roll his truth
and i don’t give a f-ck how you stuff your bags
touch the sky, it’s much more than trees
what can you tell me about your roots?
spitting that truth like a cold white rapper, n-ggas gon’ always need some proof
n-ggas gon’ always need some water, n-ggas gon’ always speak the truth
n-ggas gon’ always want the messenger dead and they always need the proof
my god…

[breakdown]
thank god for the waters, waters
thank god
thank god for the waters, waters
thank god
n-ggas gon’ always need some water, n-ggas gon’ always speak the truth
n-ggas gon’ always want the messenger dead and they always want the proof
n-ggas gon’ always need the proof
n-ggas gon’ always need the proof
