Waterfalls
Spazzy D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hopefully somebody notice me though
The holiest water I'm hoping I float
if I dont then I'm hoping you throw me the rope
nope, don't I wanna drown
no boat, I'm going down
don't hope that I come up because I won't
the water around
after I die I don't know where I go
Heaven or hell, I cannot tell I'll be in jail before both of them know
because I'm black and I know what I know
black in the back and I rap what I want
I don't rap about trap or sellin no dope if I do
then I feel like I'm selling my soul, water
Don't go chasin waterfalls
cause somewhere on the other side is a river
and we're going to be okay
If we just hold on, baby just be strong
for a moment
and don't go chasin waterfalls
Promises I don't like promises, after I promise I'm done with promises
promise you promise me that you were honest cause honestly honesty doesn't come comally
obviously I'mma be showing my modesty
killing the game is for filling the prophecy
aint about profit it's all about quality dont leave a rap or write autobiographies
really I'm trying to be someone you tryna be
we need a leader so we need to follow me
somebody call on me they tryna hollow me
flowin' like water but they tryna bottle me
lyrical bullets they dug and they waddle in
I am the water man I am the Fiji and I am so pure you gotta believe me I promise you I am the water you need me, believe me you know
Don't (don't) go (go) chasin waterfalls
cause somewhere on the other side is a river
and we're going to be okay
If we just hold on, baby just be strong
for a moment
and don't go chasin waterfalls
I can hear the thirst in your tone when you speak
it need a holy water go ahead and take a drink
dehydration can make your body weak
little food for thought now tell me what you think
do you think, do you think that you made it? do you think? no
if you hate the smell of success you can tell that I stink
do you think that you made it? do you think? No
put that ife in your chain and the water from the sink
take a drink, take a drink
take a sip
don't even let a drip slip down from your lip
on the paper that you get don't mean zip when it ripped
only got a little bit that I keep in a clip
money clip and it sits on the side of my hip
I may never fall, at the most I'mma trip
and I spit hella crack like the snap of a whip
spit holy water please come take a sip (drink)
