Fall in the Water
Zimpala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came to the city,
came in your circle and you wrote my thoughts.
Sex on the bits and sex on the streets,
What you take me for,
I should have known.

You give me work until later by later,
You changed my mind
I should have known

Fall in the water, (3x)
you keep me down.

Maybe you smile everytime I cry.
What's your problem, you have problem with me?
It makes you stronger,
when I am in (your) bed with. (2x)

Fall in the water, (3x)
You keep me down.

Fall in the water, (3x)
You keep me down.

Mix on the bid and sex in the streets,
what you take me for,
I should have known.

You give me work until later by later,
you changed my mind,
I should have known.

Fall in the water, (3x)
You keep me down.





Chorus again
