lyrics

Water flow water go Water cold water snow
Water for the soil and seed consuming so the plant could grow
Water rain wash the pain water for the desert soul
Water well clean water dreams that’s what we need it for


If you had a well of water, would you make sure that its clean
And if I was little boy Jack, I’ll plant them magical beans
Punch the sky like people power, taller than the largest tower
Harvest every lemon, produce juice at every hour
Now some hustlas turn cowards when life devours dreams
A little money and some power make that water well unclean
You hear poison in their voices and see slither in their schemes
Packaged in nice plastic and the taste of it is sweet
But the second you comsume it, diabetes in your stream
Are we livin to be dying or dying to just to live
Wanna be higher than Orion but we think it can’t exist
So some think that this is it, enslaved by your own limits
And so ambitions feel like powder or sand spillin out your hands
Like hate to a newborn baby, too young for the child to grasp
So you fumble fluster stu-stutter words that you mutter
Jealousy takes over, askin’ Cain where is your brother

Water flow water go Water cold water snow
Water for the soil and seed consuming so the plant could grow
Water rain wash the pain water for the desert soul
Water well clean water dreams that’s what we need it for

It’s hard to win without sinnin, so easy to be a villain
Projecting you are spotless but you lyin to the children
A little dirt so subtle mixed in, in the koolaid that we drinkin
A speck stuck inside your eye, large enough to blur your vision
Cause I wanna make a livin, yea I wanna make a livin
I wanna build a house with these two hands and all of my ambitions
I wanna nail my dreams into it with a hammer made of sweat
And hold it all together with my passion as cement
Cookin truth within the kitchen, circulate it through the vents
Capitalism got us trippin competition so intense
Got us warring over scraps, feel like a turtle on its back
A hurdle in yo path and further up the earth has cracks
Drunken to a stuper, super swerving on the track
I’m tryna to maneuver, I’m student with a knack
To turn manure into plants with a ruler and some math
Measuring the water from the well with every task

Water flow water go Water cold water snow
Water for the soil and seed consuming so the plant could grow
Water rain wash the pain water for the desert soul
Water well clean water dreams that’s what we need it for
