Lyrics Trouble in the Water - Common, Malik Yusef, Aaron Fresh

Trouble in the Water

Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Water moves, new world order rules
Through hurricanes, the pain is made audible
Sound waves, Chi-town graves, dug deep
Water dirty like the police that flood streets
Blood on the beach
Sandstorms on the streets
A man’s form can be transformed with the heat of the moment
We think our opponent
Is overseas
But we' messin' with mother nature’s ovaries
It’s a cruel winter
Summer don’t know itself
I say get green
But all niggas know as well
I know I’m supposed to help
That’s what I’m made for
I’m a made man
But I ain’t a maid though
God’s gift to this earth
That’s what she prayed for
Shit ain’t been stable
Since Cain killed Abel
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
In the beginning was the word
And then He made water
Then He made man
And then came the slaughter
Everything was peaceful
Until you showed up on the land to fuck the people
Contaminate the ocean
Now the water is lethal
Four bucks for two liters
That should be illegal
Amigo, evil contigo can’t even find Nemo
The water used to be see-through
Wish weapons was food
Then we all be feared
I wish narcotics was fruit
I got them apples in red
The nemesis since Genesis
When the water starts to kill the fish
That’s when you know how ill it is
Still it is
They do the unthinkable
Water same color as tea
That’s still deemed drinkable
Survival of the fit
How we was brought up
But never taught us to prepare for
World war water
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
It’s the 911 with no ambulance
Fresh and salt water way outta balance
Stop with this goofy-ass ice water challenge
The ocean ain’t your motherfuckin' trash can
Livin' in the gas land
Fire-water flow straight out of the facet
Now fire-water flow straight out of the faucet
We’re reaping the planet
Mother earth is accosted
So what the fuck is crackin'
With all this fucking frackin'
They gonna fuck around
And release the fuckin' Kraken
Trouble in the water used to mean that a shark will eat you
Now you got a better chance of bumping into Sharkeisha
I’m part creature
Gorilla, monsoon, tracks for Yeezus to talk on
The sea’s too diseased for Jesus to walk on
Heal Our Mother Earth cause she way too big for us to put chalk on
Good music
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
Trouble in the water
Trouble in the water, children
