Hold up, Hold up, Hold up

Y'all gon' get me bowed up

When that beat hit it's like three kicks

In 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,

Worthless, worthless,

400 years we done heard that

My family came here on slave ships

Some herd cattle, some

herd blacks

Know some of y'all 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 'cause 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, 'cause 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
