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

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
