| A body of water inside me
|
| Reminds me of oceans, though I’ve never known one
|
| I’m born by a cold one
|
| It’s only a small one compared
|
| To the coast, I prefer it to most
|
| I like water that don’t burn my eyes when they open
|
| I won’t let you criticize
|
| My city like my skin, it’s so pretty
|
| If you don’t like it, just leave it alone
|
| You gotta love me like I love the lake
|
| You wanna love me, better love the lake
|
| You gotta love me like I love the lake
|
| You wanna love me, better love the lake
|
| You didn’t think I really had it like that
|
| You ain’t think we really had it like that
|
| You didn’t think I really had it like that
|
| Matter fact, we can swim in it
|
| I know you wanna get in it
|
| Get on the highway, highway, baby
|
| Look at it my way, my way, baby
|
| See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
|
| And we don’t ever leave the ground
|
| No, no, no
|
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no
|
| (Rest In Peace Bernie Mac)
|
| This here ain’t for no Vice doc
|
| This here ain’t for no Spike op
|
| But since I was one like a cyclops
|
| I run up some stairs on a bike cop |
| I shake up some hands on the right block
|
| Block club president, night watch
|
| My niggas was real when the mic dropped
|
| I put 'em in my wheel like a bike lock
|
| Got family in Gary and STL, I got cousins in Milwaukee
|
| I got family in Detroit and ATL, I got an auntie that steal our weed
|
| We the number one gentrified
|
| Run inside, gimme my land, the new Chi tits' perky
|
| Face lift and makeshift spaces
|
| Invest the rest in a number 25 Knicks jersey
|
| Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
|
| Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn’t be farther
|
| And I’m supposed to father my daughter?
|
| She the princess in the dragon’s lair
|
| I’m a dragon slayer, I can’t fly away
|
| To some hideaway, I gotta find a way
|
| Get on the highway, highway, baby (Baby, baby, baby)
|
| Look at it my way, my way, baby (Ride, ride, ride on the highway)
|
| See, we can fly away, fly away, baby (Let’s ride, let’s ride, let’s ride,
|
| let’s ride)
|
| And we don’t ever leave the ground (Let's ride, let’s ride)
|
| No, no, no
|
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no |
| I will never leave you
|
| I’m everything you made me
|
| Even when you break me down
|
| The water always saves me
|
| I could never leave you
|
| I’m only what you make me
|
| Even though you break my heart
|
| The water’s gonna save me |
