Water Lyrics

[Intro]
I used to believe money didn't grow on trees
Until I started seeing men hang from them
[Verse 1]
Something in the water's revelating change
Oya's stirred the pot, from flesh will reap decay
Rain falls from the sky as clouds turn blue to gray
Fertilize the earth so that the roots won't fade
[Interlude: Angela Davis]
Do you get there by confrontation? Violence?
Oh, is that the question you were asking? (Yeah)
See that's, I mean that's another thing
When you talk about revolution, most people think violence
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've seen visions in my sleep that predict better days
Revolution won't be televised, that's what Gil Scott had said
And I believe him 'cause my people are mistreated and it's often overlooked
Eye of the needle takes no cheat codes, so we'll see the camel cross before the crooks
[Chorus]
You better wash your hands before you eat
You better say your blessings twice
'Cause the bloodshed in these streets reflect
The tales of men, not mice
You better wash your hands before you eat
You better say your blessings twice
'Cause the bloodshed in these streets reflect
The tales of men, not mice
[Verse 2]
Black and white ain't colors, they are shades
Blinded by the race of equal fate
Before you pull the trigger drenched in hate
Look around and see who's game you're playing
[Interlude: Angela Davis]
The real content of any kind of revolutionary thrust lies in the principles, in the goals that you're striving for, not in the way you reach them
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've seen visions in my sleep that predict better days
Revolution won't be televised, that's what Gil Scott had said
And I believe him 'cause my people are mistreated and it's often overlooked
Eye of the needle takes no cheat codes, so we'll see the camel cross before the crooks
[Chorus]
You better wash your hands before you eat
You better say your blessings twice
'Cause the bloodshed in these streets reflect
The tales of men, not mice
You better wash your hands before you eat
You better say your blessings twice
'Cause the bloodshed in these streets reflect
The tales of men, not mice
[Outro]
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating...
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
I used to believe money didn't grow on trees
Until I started seeing men hang from them
[Verse 1]
Something in the water's revelating change
Oya's stirred the pot, from flesh will reap decay
Rain falls from the sky as clouds turn blue to gray
Fertilize the earth so that the roots won't fade
[Interlude: Angela Davis]

The tales of men, not mice
You better wash your hands before you eat

[Outro]
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating...
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
Something in the water, something in the water
Something in the water's revelating change
