wade waters - tread that water كلمات الأغنية

Loading...

[chorus]
i’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees
keep my head above water, look, listen and breathe
what you give, you receive, so i give what you need
if you’re family, please believe i’ll never leave, cause
it gets deep, you’ve gotta tread that water [4x]

[soulstice]
i sleep with a big secret, sometimes i get seasick
trying to stand on my own two with no street underneath it
the soul i preach with reach the east and teach kids
split the seas with ease and breeze like leaflets
in dc, a river runs through it, raw sewage
but it’s all fluid, so we watch it run like carl lewis
and some be dreading it, but i be shredding it
we’ve got mercury metal in the water in our settlements
separate, unequal, for the black young people
there’s no colored fountains, but we ain’t climb that mountain
there’s a couple thousand and counting, thirsty for knowledge
my poems lead them to the zone, they can drink on their own

[haysoos]
i know i’m gone too much, and our days are not long enough
when i’m back late, you say you missed me; when i’m gone i’m touched
so i’m trying to swim it, water’s cold when i’m in it
love you too, but don’t answer when i’m over my minutes
i know it’s a limit, hope i ain’t reached it yet
back in town, see my auntie and my peeps, i’m set
in ’06, haven’t seen my nephews or my niece yet
just know that i’m missing you all with each step
another faher’s day, another mother’s day, i gotta run away
still never made it down to florida where my brother stay
even when i got my girl with me, i’m still busy
if this music thing happens, just know that you’re coming with me

[chorus]

[soulstice]
in reality i’m a slave trying to break the mold
struggling not to drown in these waves that roll
i was told h2o is necessary for the body
but we’re either dying of thirst, or hit with a tsunami
it’s the devil’s dark comedy, i honestly can’t consciously
turn my back until the poor receive property properly
what one gives [?] receives, so i give to receive
because my vision is free, we’ve gotta live for the seeds
until the prisons is free my pen bleeds, address an -ssembly
feeling as if allah sent me
for centuries we simply wait on the tide
to the grave; it’s the same way the slaves would hide
trying to keep my head up high above these ripples
cause a lot of cats get hit with slugs from pistols
before the rain is rolling thunder, every summer
sometimes it makes me wonder how i keep from going under

[haysoos]
i know if i can’t sleep then i’m ankle deep
and you can climb out the river but the banks are steep
if i’m short a couple g’s, then it’s up to my knees
downstream and the current’s picking up with the breeze
if my man caught a case, then it’s up to my waist
kind of thirsty but it’s salt water, stuck from the taste
if i hear a [?] got my chest submerged
water’s cold, trying to save enough breath for words
then it rise to my cheeks, then my eyes underneath
then it’s like, d-mn, i ain’t realize it’s this deep
can’t breathe, then that voice in your head caught ya
keep your head up! you’ve got to tread that water

[chorus]
