WATER
Diversion 4.0 Lyrics

T0Ni0
I said empty your mind
Le vagabond
Be formless, shapeless, like water
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle
You put it in a tea pot, it becomes the tea pot
Now water can flow, or it can crash
Be water my friend
Faut qu'j'écoutes Bruce, be water
Plus rien à foutre comme Walter White
Break Bad
Pas ponctuel, pas à l'heure
J'veux faire des gros hits à la Bob & The Wailers
Friands d'oseille, Freedent dans l'bec
On veut pas être pareils, on veut l'freedom dans l'bink
Pour ça faut être wilder, un peu acteur
Faut pas être bon, faut avoir un bon coeur
L'individu triomphera, l'accomplissement ce nirvana
Chassé par les masses, vendu par les marques
Beaucoup trop se disent ça tourne autour de moi oh
Les algos fonctionnent à merveille
Ils t'hypnotisent faut que tu t'réveilles
Ils m'ont fait zappé les plans d'la veille
J'en oublie ma place dans l'appareil
Faut qu'j'écoutes Bruce, be water
Plus rien à foutre comme Walter White
Break Bad
Pas ponctuel, pas à l'heure
J'veux faire des gros hits à la Bob & The Wailers
Friands d'oseille, Freedent dans l'bec
On veut pas être pareils, on veut l'freedom dans l'bink
Pour ça faut être wilder, un peu acteur
Faut pas être bon, faut avoir un bon coeur
Loca es la vida que loca, loca es la vida
Faut pas être bon, faut avoir un bon coeur
Que loca, loca es la vida
Faut pas être bon, faut avoir un bon coeur
Faut pas être bon, faut avoir un bon coeur
Loca es la vida, dis moi c'qu'on fout là, on taff pour nada
Paris ville natale, manger c'est vital
On a tous la dalle
La monnaie la nouvelle religion
La cité la nouvelle rébellion hey
Y'a rien à faire tout se répète
On a beau s'aimer on se déteste
Ca vit plus d'amour mais de frayeur
Ca joue à qui sera le meilleur
Mais qui sera le meilleur
Ce n'est déjà plus l'heure
Tout l'monde veut sa part faut augmenter
La valeur
Le futur s'contrôle pas, le destin est sociétal
On stress on s'comprend pas
Le climat y'd'vient létal
J'suis pas anarchiste juste un artiste
J'décris le monde en tout franchise
C'est maintenant, c'est aujourd'hui c'est pas demain
J'fais des nocturnes comme Chopin
On fait d'l'art c'est pas un produit
Nique ton budget ta stratégie




J'me dois d'péter avant thirty
J'veux pas qu'mon bébé soit thirsty

Overall Meaning

In "Water," Diversion 4.0 reflects on his dreams and aspirations while stuck in a claustrophobic office job ("So why am I stuck in this cubicle?"). He views his soul as undeniably beautiful but struggles with the decision on whether to take chances and pursue his dreams or stick with the security of his current job ("Should I take all these chances and see it through?/ Should I take all these chances and make a way?"). He references Nat Turner, an African-American slave who led a rebellion in Virginia in 1831, as an example of someone who broke away from their circumstances to fight for what they believed in ("Nat Turner the soul/ I break away"). Throughout the song, there is an underlying theme of trusting oneself and not allowing doubt or the opinions of others to dictate one's life choices.


One interesting fact about the song "Water" is that it was produced by the musical duo EarthGang, who have worked with other artists such as J. Cole and Childish Gambino. The song was released as a part of their compilation album, "Mirrorland," in 2019. Diversion 4.0 is a member of the Spillage Village collective, along with EarthGang, JID, and others. The group's name is a reference to J. Dilla, a popular hip-hop producer who died in 2006.


Another interesting fact about the song is that Diversion 4.0 samples a recording of the gospel hymn "Wade in the Water" at the beginning of the song. The hymn originated as a coded message for slaves fleeing north to Canada via the Underground Railroad, with the lyrics instructing them to "wade in the water" to avoid being tracked by their scent. The use of this sample could be seen as a nod to the historical struggles of African Americans and a symbol of hope for those fighting against oppressive systems.


Additionally, "Water" has been praised for its insightful and introspective lyrics, with some critics calling Diversion 4.0 a "vivid storyteller" and "a MC that brings a message of empowerment and spirituality to the forefront." The song's message of breaking away from societal constraints and pursuing one's dreams has resonated with many listeners, particularly those facing similar struggles in their own lives.

I am glad you had a off the grid hot water system that is still using the grid as backup (mouth full)

It's a lot more controllable than the other hot water systems out there, such as the antifreeze method.

The antifreeze method works like this, your solar panels generate electricity and heat (that's where most of the inefficiency comes in) then it loops around using a pump connected to solar, a small 12-48v DC pump and then dumps it into your hot water tank at the bottom , then the cold water at the bottom cools the antifreeze, then sends it back to the antifreeze tank to happily go another round.

Disadvantage is... it works too well, your hot water tank then has hot water beyond 75c, I would say at near 99.9c (boiling point) and it would need to be mixed with cold water for it to be usable hot water.

How it works is this way, think of radiator in a car (you have 2 of them, the heater and the front radiator)
"why don't you just use water?" the copper taste is disgusting when cycled through, heating and cooling cycles... and then there's the inefficient parts where the boiling point of antifreeze is higher (50/50 mix) and a much lower freezing point than water, it doesn't cause rust, in fact there's rust inhibitors inside so the copper tubing will last longer from the inside... downside of the rust inhibitors is that it eats away the plastic in water cooled PC's (jayzcents done a show and tell on that one)

So, whether your install is right for you is not me to judge, you are an education channel and also a part time "watch me freak out when I fuck up but I solve it with you"

There has been times with hot water systems blowing up when they use the antifreeze method because they do not vent the pressure (amateur installs) I am not one of those people that will say "you will be in danger" because you seem to be doing more research than you are showing us

@bosdad7

Excellent Job ! I'm very glad to see your still moving forward with using all the power you produce. There are several ways to do this. It can be so cheap I don't know why anyone wouldn't do it. People just need to do some research before diving in.

@HBPowerwall

I would like to explore some other products that do the same thing. See if anyone comes to the table.

@bosdad7

dc hot water coil and a simple charge controller that diverts the power to the coil. total cost about 40 dollars on eBay.  I sent you the links several times. The best way is one dc element in the heater and one ac element. that way you get hot water all the time.
