Calvin Stone - The Water Lyrics



Calvin Stone - The Water Lyrics




[ Featuring Michael Dreilich ]

If you have a gun, shoot'em in the head, that's a sure way to kill'em.
Look
My son know black and white because he see it in his crayon box,
Only races he know bout is these cars,
As a kid they tell you shoot for the stars,
But when cop gun in yo face tryna add to the scars and pain they caused you what the f*ck you do?
They get nervous and shoot,
Luke Cage, I wish all my brothers was bulletproof,
We get the most degrading jobs to collect a coin,
Or not a job at all they know what they doin,
They'd rather have us low in all these categories,
We get the word the preacher scrabble or scattergories,
I hear these little boys and girls tell the saddest stories,
Mama on drugs daddy dead they'll never reach the glory,
At least that's what they think it's perseverance,
You rep the fighter and lover,
That's why your hair stronger that's why your skin tougher,
Incase you didn't I want you to know,
I bought this grease for your skin I want to see you glow.

Wade in the water, children
In the water, children
Wade in the water, children

I'm representing for that 12.9 that keep decreasing in this country,
You love the black culture but something in you don't love me,
Stop tryna rule me I'm giving you every inch of me,
Saying all lives matter I see that you lacking empathy,
Kill the bias,
Y'all claim the country's united but it's contradicting when the people inside are fighting,
For equality rights votes had our necks on ya ropes,
Hanging from ya family tree is black blood on your oak,
Young black and ignorant is that the demographic,
My shoes got swooshes and my pants got graphics,
Tell me how you feel when you shoot a kid in the face,
Orange plastic on the barrel to let you know it was fake.

Wade in the water, children
In the water, children
Wade, wade, wade,

Hope you notice my faith sometimes,
I feel inferior for the skin on my face I feel I'm running in place,
Getting nowhere fast just hoping I last,
Home sweet home the gun shots shatter of glass,
My cousin he was kill by the cops,
This was 09 it's 2020 now they gave him 17 shots,
Attached a letter to helium ballon hope GOD gets it,
Heaven is far wish I could call from long distance,
My next son imma name'em Justice cause I ain't never seen and I never touched it,
And when you charge but don't convict your confirming corruption,
So it's back to the streets and we f*cking up shit.
Fire and brimstone the whole country is stained how many more do we gotta lose to gain? This for fallen all year round it feel like autumn,
Dead for being black in America this for all'em,
Not black vs white this all vs racism,
With unity we can weed out the evil seeds in this system,
Weed out the evil seeds in this system,
Weed out the evil seeds in this system,
Weed out the evil seeds in this system,


Wade in the water, children
In the water, children
Wade in the water, children
