J-Louis - Holy Water lyrics

[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
