They say there's gon' be a downpour
They say the water's gon' wash away my people
(You tell them, you tell them I'm coming, tell them then...)

You probably gon' need a boat
I'm thinking kindred to Titanic, like why panic
It all depend on who whipping that b**h
[?] to slave masters, punish a slave faster
It all depend on who whipping that b**h
She stripping, it all depend on who tipping that b**h
I bet it's no king of diamonds
She showed those n***as love, diamond in rough
That's a ten of clubs, they told her it was gon' rain
They told her "do those d**" then she'll feel no pain
n***a check the correlation, ideas realized by corporations
In communities where people are too poor for patience
Ooh, I know you hear that truth that I spit like a relaxed tooth
Cold turkied all the politics, I'm relaxed proof
Cold shouldered all the ops they probably cashews
If you can't see the tree, in truth, you probably think cash rules
I got no time for your living, writing pennies for the thought
Drop a dime for your living, look around n***a, we can see the signs are the limit
Section 8 'bout as low as the pigeons, we did it, too fly
My n***a too fly, our people dying I ain't kidding like a [?]

They say there's gon' be a downpour
(They say there's gon' be a downpour)
They say the water's gon' wash away my people
(They say the water gon' wash us away, no)
Everybody gon' need a boat
(Everybody gon' need a boat)
They say there's gon' be a downpour
(They say there's gon' be a downpour)
[Jean Deaux:]
I thought that it was simple, we treading water from my house
My body is a temple, he bows and prays that he makes it back to the shore
I feel my head flooding with thoughts, temples sore as sh**
Tryna figure out how you got me open, preposterous oceans
Catch you floating on your merry boat there
My thighs is hurting, my soul is yearning, my feelings current
The tides can be a current, we were burning
Tell us 'God is gon' save us" now where was this n***a when rain didn't let up
The whole thing is set up soon as we get away my brothers always gettin' wet up
You tell me that you love me, but I can't remember times he was chill when sh** was ugly
It's you that's gone that f**in' hurting me, who the f** you think you is, the black Hercules?
And you supposed to the save the world, ain't it the perfect dreams?
We walked the perfect seas, desert the Earth and save the dragon
He gave you super powers, ain't that how it f**in' happens?
I lose a love you, lose a life, now ain't that f**in' tragic?
And I'm just supposed to praise the Lord and live in all the madness?
(Live in all the madness)

Row out, row out, row out, row out
Row to up in a boat
Oh that boat we were drowning and it's true
Who left us drowning and it's true
Row out, row out, row out, row out
Row to up in a boat
Row to up in a boat
