Água
R.I.P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time coming
Since six corners of H2O
Well now I'm in the studio
Inferio
I got buckets of soul
Rockin' the flo'
And I'm chilling with
My man on the piano

His name is Sergio
And he's rockin' the sound
He on your radio
And he don't want you down
Come on now here we go
He funky rush with his hands
My man, as spins the melody man

Do do do do do do
Do doo doo doo doo

Will he keep a steady heavy rock in the mix
I am sixteen rockin' to the '66
Now I'm tres deuce
Sergio '66
And we launched timed this in 2006
And now we're dropping this
Dropping this new itch
Ain't no stoppin' us
That's why they're taking the flicks
My man Antonio on the guitar tricks
Watch my man Lemer
On the bass right quick, check it

Do do do do do do
Do doo doo doo doo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to R.I.P's song Agua are about the artist's experience in the music industry and the journey that led them to recording the song. The first line, "It's been a long time coming," could mean that R.I.P has been working in the music industry for a long time and has finally reached a point where they are able to record their music in a professional studio. The second line, "Since six corners of H2O," refers to the six points of a water molecule, which is a reference to R.I.P's creative energy and imagination. The line may also signify a starting point, as if R.I.P has been working towards this moment since they were a child learning about the properties of water.

R.I.P then goes on to introduce the people they are working with in the studio, including Sergio on the piano and Antonio on guitar. The lyrics describe their collaborative efforts, with Sergio providing the sound for the radio and R.I.P providing the lyrics and flow. The song appears to be a culmination of many years of hard work and dedication, and the artist is excited to finally be releasing new music. The repeated "Do do do do do do, Do doo doo doo doo" may be a nod to the endless hours of repetition that comes with recording music.

Agua was released in 2006 as a part of R.I.P's debut album, "Agua."
