| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Let me say it again
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| I’ma tell you again
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Let me say it again
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Yes?
|
| When the slaves left Egypt, they never would have guessed
|
| That they would be blessed in the wilderness
|
| And now away from the ghettos our people must flee
|
| Crack, crime and poverty are the shackles I see
|
| How long will we live in this state of emergency?
|
| In a place where hot water’s the only thing that’s free
|
| Take me to the hot spring that lives by the meadow
|
| Give me something else besides death in the ghetto
|
| See, when the slaves left Egypt, they never would have guessed
|
| That they’d find mannah and hot water in the wilderness
|
| Nowadays our children have no place to play
|
| Cause everyday someone is killed by a stray
|
| And still we live on without anything to say
|
| As the closing of time shows us we can’t stay
|
| The population of our growing black nation |
| Hasn’t changed since our ancestors were brought to plantations
|
| So — recognize these thresholds of negative stress
|
| You can get YOUR hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Let me say it again
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| I’ma tell you again
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Let me say it again
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Hot water in the wilderness
|
| Yes? |
