[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]
