Letra de Water, The Roots



South Philly, North side, Oakland, Texas, Georgia, black people?uh 
yo worldwide this is for my nigga 
you know what I'm sayin 
yo, dumb and blind 
they say a record aint nothin if its not touchin, drippin 
draw you in close and make you want to listen to it 
and if you real ill at makin music 
the listener feel like he livin through it 
that's how my nigga do it 
I met Slacks back in, like '91 rappin 
We went to Millersville to get away from gun clappin 
It aint last I'll be in class 
Dreamin 'bout fifty thousand fans 
Up in the the stands 
screamin out encore yo I'm headin back to Philly 
nigga you rollin with me? 
I'm tryin to get busy 
we walked dogs that was off the chain 
lot of times at the shows people hardly came 
I just took it in stride as part of the game 
but inside people down with me started to change 
it was a couple of thangs, little syrup, little pills 
instead of routing out on the road you'd rather chill 
I know the way the pleasure feel 
I'm not judging 
but still I'm on a mission yo I'm not buggin 
I got fam that can't stop druggin 
they can't sleep 
they can't stick to one subject 
they can't eat 
its people steady coming at me out in the street like Riq yo what up with your peps 
it gets deep nigga 

yo you need to walk straight master your high 
son you missin out on whats passin you by 
I done see the streets suck a lot of cats dry 
but not you and I my nigga we got to get 
come on over over the water (x2) 
yo water (x2) 

yo we've done been through many meals 
a couple of deals 
we've done shared clothes and wheels 
killed mics and reels 
we've done rocked shows abroad and slept on floors 
tryin to figure out what the fuck we gettin slept on for 
or what we walkin with the weapon for 
weighted by the gravity law 
you know it if you came up poor my nigga 
picture the bus up north 
you know we made of everything outlaws are made of 
I'm far from a hater 
and I don't say I love you cause the way I feel is greater 
M-illa you a poet son you a born creator 
and this'll probably dawn on you later 
its in your nature lyrics all on your walls like they made of paper 
you gotta follow where your talent take ya 
you might fuck around finally make it and that's real but 

yo you need to walk straight master your high 
son you missin out on whats passin you by 
I done see the streets suck a lot of cats dry 
but not you and I my nigga we got to get 
come on over over the water (x2) 

yo I want you all to understand 
I come from south Philly and when I walk the street it's like a pharmacy 
they got all type of shit anybody could get 
it go from H to X to Lucy cigarettes 
for my ghetto legend known for little shiest runnin 
cop codeine by the quartz and keep commin 
dummy just embracing the dope like it's a woman 
your burnin both sides of the rope and just pullin, tuggin 
in between Islam and straight thuggin 
layin everyday around the way and doin nuthin 
see em lookin shakin there head and start shruggin 
if they don't got a man like mine they got a cousin- a yo 
you better be a true friend to him 
before the shit put an end to him 
or give a pen to him 
Or lock him in a studio with a mic 
cause on the real it might save his life 
keep telling him 

yo you need to walk straight master your high 
son you missin out on whats passin you by 
I done see the streets suck a lot of cats dry 
but not you and I my nigga we got to get 
come on over over the water (x2) 
yo water (x2) 

yo you need to walk straight master your high 
son you missin out on whats passin you by 
I done see the streets suck a lot of cats dry 
but not you and I my nigga we got to get 
come on over over the water (x2) 
yo water (x2)
