Dirty Water - Lecrae/Derek Johnson

Written by：Derek Johnson/Le Crae Devaughn Moore

Hold up hold up hold up

Y'all gon' get me bowed up

When that beat hit it's like three kicks

In 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 españ ol just show me tu bañ o

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 y'all 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 'cause 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 'cause 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

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

Dirty water dirty water

Dirty water dirty water
