Dirty Water Lyrics - Lecrae

Hold up, Hold up, Hold up 

Ya'll gon get me bowed up 

When that beat hit it's like three kicks 

And 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 español, just show me tu baño 

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 ya'll 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 cuz 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, cuz 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

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
