Trouble in the Water

Lyrics

[Intro] What's up, world? Gon' give you a little love right here My man DJ Honda blessed us with a joint Word up, De La up in here, ha We gon' spread a little love To some folks who up in my head right now Aight? Check it out [Verse 1] It was a big deal moving my big wheel to L.I.  Had a backyard, though shit moved slow Caught a cat on the humble, wassup, wassup, kid? Y'all be memorizin' flicks of the wild things we did We was brick wall niggas, six small niggas And they knew it and wasn't nobody runnin' through us Step in the backyard, parties was a blast Fucking up our sneakers on the wet grass Remember getting stabbed in ya ass? Your moms sat us all down Said we was niggas and clowns, but it was just love And, plus, love showed me that she was a diamond Findin' out God took her hit me dead on my heart It made the eye water start But you was strong, can ya hear me Huggy? Keep your mind crystal clear when your thought gets muggy We them easy street kids from Mr. Bryant's basement Wishin' for the Apollo, tryin' to get dough Now my times move slow, ain't it all full circle? A dove cry, makes the whole scene turn purple Remember that night you had to hide in the freezer? For real, see them kids were real, we still slid But now we grown niggas and we handling kids We been since day one and the days ain't over Gotta share a back seat, push with the chauffeur My pops said he's waiting for your ass in the zone So we can fly to the land and welcome you home Rob-O, see we good to go, you know the rest Don't stress, love-love, baby, aight? [Chorus] If you got time to give, I got time to think See, it could all change in one eye blink While you in the troubled water I hope ya don't sink Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink (Check it out) [Verse 2] Some rarely saw the negative, pause From the depths of one's blurs, everything's now cleared by laws Mad for mere seconds in the span of dying Trying to tell you don't go, I'm about to blow No more innocence, it's about the dollars And events of fame Aren't you? Search your name From the group? Search your name On the dotted line, back before the rhyme I had reasons To punch the kid who tried teasin' during lunch It was a matter of promoting decency But the "de" and the "cy" fell off, so I sinned Again and again until Jesus came down Wait, I'm still sinning (I guess he hasn't reached the ground) Thoughts of me before my voice could Even recall, couldn't afford the physical, peep How then was now, but now is not Yo, I'm a minute wiser, but it seems, kid I got some beef, can't take or shake off the wrong Accept my apologies to bypass the horn No need for false alarm, word up The nuyopian charm is for sure back again It's rememberin' the was that is now gone For the axis of the now so I can move on For the axis of the now so I, so I— [Chorus] If you got time to give, I got time to think See, it could all change in one eye blink When you in the troubled waters I hope ya don't sink Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink If you got time to give, I got time to think See, it could all change in one eye blink When you in the troubled waters I hope ya don't sink Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink [Outro] Goodnight, world (Goodnight, world) De La, y'all, uh My man DJ Honda's on the beat like this Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink (Don't sink, y'all) Just letting y'all into the fleeing moments of the memories of mine And I'm out like this One time (One time)
