Mick Jenkins - Noah and the Reign lyrics

[Intro: Jean Deaux] 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...) [Verse 1: Mick Jenkins] We probably gon' need a boat I'm thinking kindred to Titanic, like why panic It all depend on who whipping that b**h John Legend to slave master, 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 relapsed 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 our tubes tied [Hook: Jean Deaux ] 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) [Verse 2: 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 me '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 remember times he was chill when sh** was ugly It's you that's gone that f**in' hurting me, who the hell 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) [Hook: Jean Deaux ] 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) [Outro: Mick Jenkins] Noah, Noah, Noah won't you open your boat Noah, Noah, Noah won't you open your boat You left us out here drowning in this truth You left us out here drowning in this truth Noah, Noah, Noah won't you open your boat Noah, Noah, Noah won't you open your boat You left us out here drowning in this truth You left us out here drowning in this truth You probably gon' need a boat!
