Something in the Water

Saba

5

Ooh, ah

Yeah, yeah, ayy, ayy

Yeah, yeah, ayy

I see somethin′ in the water, they don't lead us, but they follow

No surprise, the ship goes down

I see somethin′ in the water, ain't no subtle way to call it

You get caught up and it goes down

I see somethin' in the future, they don′t like us but they use us

We ain′t stupid, niggas slow

I see a bunch of niggas moochin' off what other people doing

And it really hurt my soul, damn, yeah

Contract, contact bullshit make you realize you been shorted, yeah

Concepts fallin′ short, you niggas tryin' too hard, I noticed, yeah

Confined by the corporate, make you see you can′t afford it yet

Industry a bit', I mean a big bit′, I mean Norbit, yeah

Blinded by the glitz, I'm gettin' tired, it must be more to men

Jewelry, jewelry, foreign car, your foreign broad imported, yeah

I just set a target, I need milli′ in my wallet, yeah

Something′s in the water, something's in the way, Nirvana

It′s in my mama name, Big Tymers, don't need no dollar to rely on

I′m good in the hood, I'm like vagina, yeah

Nigga too worried ′bout designer, yeah

That'll get you cut like Andrew Bynum, yeah

Where I'm from they come and find ya, yeah

I see somethin′ in the water, they don′t lead us, but they follow

No surprise, the ship goes down

I see somethin' in the water, ain′t no subtle way to call it

You get caught up and it goes down

I see somethin' in the future, they don′t like us but they use us

We ain't stupid, niggas slow

I see a bunch of niggas moochin′ off what other people doing

And it really hurt my soul, damn, yeah

Okay, okay, okay (mhm, mhm)

Fake it 'til you make it, camouflagin' all facades, ayy

Personal opinion don′t amount to what our God say

Tell the kids, "Go farther," when they house don′t have a padre

Bottle water when I rap, grew up never drinkin' from the tap

I was so sick of these airports ′til COVID hit the map

Now we're too sleep at this point, we even tired of takin′ naps

I lost close friends to a drug binge, in hopes I can bring 'em back

Momma said this the revelation, doubters all lookin′ for resolutions

Everyone buying in desperation

On a good note, there's no air pollution

Man, our reflection is over the seven seas

It's clear that we want it all, eyes on we, what you see?

I see somethin′ in the water, they don′t lead us, but they follow

No surprise, the ship goes down

I see somethin' in the water, ain′t no subtle way to call it

You get caught up and it goes down

I see somethin' in the future, they don′t like us but they use us

We ain't stupid, niggas slow

I see a bunch of niggas moochin′ off what other people doing

And it really hurt my soul, damn, yeah
