Bloody Waters

Lyrics

[Intro: Yhung T.O. & James Blake] Meet the man in the mask Meet the man in the mask All those days in, all that stays in I don't keep it, I won't be here for it All those days in, all that stays in I don't keep it, though, I won't be here for it [Chorus: Anderson .Paak] Yes, Lawd, huh Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky) False prophets get buried alive (Alive) Head on the throne, 'cause that's where I reside (Reside) Ways of the world, the weak won't survive Somethin's in the water (The water) Ayy, my nigga, we lawless (Lawless) Please move with caution Who set the fairway? (Fairway) Damn right, I need all this (All this) Yeah, Jack, I need all this, ayy [Post-Chorus: Ab-Soul & Kendrick Lamar] Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the Glock Screamin', "We gon' make it" like two-thirds of The LOX Yeah yeah, yeah yeah "Pow-pow" becomes "Blah, blah" [Verse 1: Ab-Soul] Blood on my hands, I'ma need hot agua You gon' meet yo' maker, I won't say it in Patois Hope I strike a nerve like a package of matches You might wanna bypass, this smoke ain't gas trick A prince-turned-pauper tryna do like kings do Sweatin' in chess games, tryna move like kings move You should slow your roll before you drown in a moat He tried to channel balance, but never found the remote Killers on the prowl still juggin' off a lick **** still a **** with a double for his *bleep* Common politics, everlastin' mayhem Draw to stick you for your figures, that's how they hang, man So what's your game plan if you got one? You aimin' at passengers with a shotgun? Whoa The aftermath is you in the scope It's warfare—is war fair? No You understand? It's probably better you don't Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat Ships set sail and planes depart The big picture's in motion, are you playin' your part? Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed Are you playin' your role? As told by an organized criminal In general, get off my genitals, I got your general [Chorus: Anderson .Paak] Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky) False prophets get buried alive (Alive) Head on the throne, 'cause that's where I reside (Reside) Ways of the world, the weak won't survive Somethin's in the water (The water) Ayy, my nigga, we lawless (Lawless) Please move with caution Who set the fairway? (Fairway) Damn right, I need all this (All this) Yeah, Jack, I need all this, ayy [Verse 2: Ab-Soul] I had to be about nine when I first had seen it Low-lows pulled up outside of the Ralph's After a car show at Dominguez They had a disagreement, they had to air out (Air out) Just another day in Del Amo Fo' sho', man down, mando (Thank) thank God I never had to knock your partner off Or be another casualty of war, amen There's four footprints in the sand where I walk I never claimed to be a saint at all Four Russians trippin' with hollow tips And a Kalashnikov, aimed at y'all (Kla-kla-kla!) No, Soulo, ho, kept it clean Ridin' dirty, jury would have gave me thirty Herbie love buggin' out, hit the target blindfolded Electorial college devoted To hit the score, to write the score that's not a metaphor Ragin' against the machinery, tapin' up the scenery You gotta keep the piece to keep the peace Got dough, squad up and mopped the block up for a cleanin' fee [Outro: James Blake] I don't need you to change I don't need you to change Yourself (Get, get away, get away) But I've got to get away (Get, get away, get away) I've got to get away (Get, get away, get away) For my health (Get, get away, get away) (Get, get away, get away) Be as free as you can (Get, get away, get away) Be as free as you can (Get, get away, get away) Away from me (Get, get away) I tried to be a saint like everybody else
