[Verse 1]:
Making my home in the waters, wading and searching for peace..(or a gold mine)
Praying for some holy waters, to wash away all my defeats...(need a calm mind)
Damn where Jonah when you need eem?
Can I bum me a ride in the mouth of that whale
We ain't even got a well for the feeding
A n***a tryna be like Enoch
Walking wit God as he pull me up out of the swell
Tighten my grip, man I'm tired of da tides
Paying for college like paying for jail
Freedom don't come with a dead end job
But a n***a never wanna get laid off
I jus hope all dis hard work pay off...
As drench my body in these holy falls
[Hook]:
Praying for some holy waters
Waters
Praying for some holy waters
Waters
Said i'm praying for some holy waters
Waters
Said i'm praying for, praying for, praying for
Praying for, praying for, praying for, praying for....
[Verse 2]:
Praying for some holy waters
To fight off that feeling of failing you can not escape
Dying to get out the ocean but some n***as doomed
To have that Jack Dawson fate
So you swim with your demons and drown in your past
"damn baby there ain't no room in the raft"
Like damn all your n***as gon' let you drown
We socialized to try and hold you down
But what's missed rent to a crucifixion
Downplay pain into brain addictions
Depression prescriptions the devil gon' give
And its hard not to take cause he roam where I live
And a n***a really running out of f**s to give
(cough)
Man i lost my breath
Cuz this sh** that real
And it pains my chest
Watching my people wit so much potential
Get broken down, dying for minimums
Synonyms....
Like war and d**h, don't really seem dat farfetched
Dis Iraq, dis Vietnam
Dis hard times, and I need the calm
[Hook]
Praying for some holy waters
Waters
Praying for some holy waters
Waters
Said I'm praying for some holy waters
Waters
Said I'm praying for some holy waters
Waters
Said I'm praying for
Said I'm praying for
Said I'm praying for
(continue until beat stops)
[Outro]
Damn, this that sh** n***a, this that sh** they gonna feel n***a
Like cold water on a sleeping face, this that sh** to wake n***as up
This that flood sh**
This that flood sh** n***a
