[Chorus]
Don't nobody wanna swim in the black water
No they don't, know they won't
Don't nobody wanna swim in the black water
No they don't, know they won't
[Verse 1]
That water is nasty
That water ain't pure
That water is tainted
That water (that water)
That waters contaminated
That water is different
That water ain't god formed
That water (that water)
That water ain't precious
That water ain't beautiful
That water ain't special
That water (that water)
That water is nasty
That water ain't pure
That water is tainted
That water (that water)
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
MAMA!
Tell me why they don't swim
Tell me they can't pretend
That the water isn't unusual
MAMA!
Tell me is the water free
Tell me will they ever see
That the water is full of soul
Mama why don't they wanna swim in the black water
Mama why don't they wanna swim in the black water
Mama why don't they wanna swim in the black water
Mama why don't they wanna swim in the black water
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
In a world where the black water has no love
Where the others will question if the water came from above
If god even made it cause if he did it'd be crystal clear
Water that hides generations of tears
There's something to that water that is true
Even if the black waters not red, white, or blue
Does that mean the waters different than others
If the outskirts were transparent i couldn't possibly see the proof
Couldn't possibly understand couldn't possibly get it
Now if the water is darker does that mean that its different
I don't believe that how can you believe that
It just reflects the soul of the person that retreats back
From taking a dip
You see its not bad it don't bite
But don't take advantage of the waters innocence
Cause in an instance the water could be the only water left
And we'll be too blind to take a swim
Don't nobody wanna swim in the black water
No they don't, know they won't
Don't nobody wanna swim in the black water
No they don't, know they won't
[Chorus]
