[Intro]
When officials tapped into the Flint River here for the city's drinking water, a strong chemical needed to clean the water ended up corroding the pipes, contaminating the water with lead
[Verse]
They say I can't drink the water or I might just die
Should prosecute Rick Snyder for the homicide
How you know this for a year? Families out here sheddin' tears
No honor amongst thieves, you should stop those lies, man
In my city, caged in, tell me what we bathe in
Toxic [?], Snyder you should be ashamed, man
City cryin', people dyin', swear it's like enslavement
Then turn around, for this water say they want a payment
[?] don't drink the water
Here's some lead for your sons, here's some lead for your daughters
The filters don't work, so I'm never sharing trust
Like 2Pac said, they don't care about us
And you know it's messed up, drinking poison H2O
Y'all ain't tried to fix the problem till you s**ers got exposed
Man, the governor a liar for hire, is you feelin' me?
Wanting me to pay a bill for something that is k**in' me
Thinking 'bout the people causing brain damage, they at it
City is in debt, still got funds they collect
I want justice, trust, it ain't quiet in my city
I'm in more fear of the water than the violence in my city
You think Rick Snyder drinking Flint water? Please
You know his water pure while we're dying for a fee
You think Rick Snyder drinking Flint water? Please
You know his water pure while we're dying for a fee
[Outro]
They say I can't drink the water or I might just die
Why our families gotta pay for this homicide?
They say I can't drink the water or I might just die
Why our families gotta pay for this homicide?
