Rain In The Water

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Fred The Godson] This feel like a Negro spiritual From a nigga that's lyrical Fred The God's God fearin' I fear there's no fear in you Get these liars outta here I hear you wanna hear the truth The Freshman just walked in Please, can we share the booth? The beat, can I marry it? Can another sound carry it? I'm comin' from the underground Can I tell them 'bout Harriet? Jump in that tub man And wash away your sins Our pastor's pastor He told me that he comin' again No, this ain't The Matrix They say it's the instrumental to the slave ship This where they threw Mandela right up in that cave shit And say we couldn't say shit Than hit the Diallo 41 times This where I stay, shit Fred hate this, but Frederick love it Feel like I'm boppin' with Frederick Douglass In Harlem on Frederick Douglass Sing, my brother's ancestors from my brother's and sisters Half sisters, can I talk to 'em? [Chorus: Remo the Hitmaker] Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water [Verse 2: Fred The Godson] This more than rap shit This water drippin' down the back of John the Baptist This is the pope's casket In the middle of Vaticans and the Catholics Jesus died on the cross We party with Easter baskets Stupid bastards, they don't know where math is So I gotta mastered to spit it for the masses Open your lashes Thorns in his head Carry cross, point two miles Back full of slashes I see my grandmother holdin' my uncle's ashes I seen Rodney King get beaten by them badges This girl I know she lost her brother for this flag shit He was in Iraq fightin' for these fags, shit You can't tell me this is justice It gotta be more to life, it can't be just this I'm disgusted, life's a bitch and I cuffed it They put our lives inside people's hands that can't be trusted Can we discuss it? Y'all don't wanna talk now You read footprints, y'all gotta walk now You know if we come together, we'll be a force now The president is black, who you says at fault now? I don't know the answers But the revolution will be televised, so bring your cameras (One more time, Fred) I said I don't know the answers But the revolution will be televised, so bring your cameras [Chorus: Remo the Hitmaker] Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water Rain in the water God's gonna show the water Oh the water, He's gonna show the water Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water
