Lirik

The river don't recognise you
River ain't seen you around
River don't know about you
River don't suffer the fools
River said watch how you made
River said best behave
River might switch on a day
Make a riverbed into a grave
River don't know about you
You might be made of mostly water
But I am holy water
You are not the same as I
Say your name into my belly
And your mouth will come back dry
I will not wash
Stare into my face
Find no reflection, child of Noah
I am descended from the flood
I see your farmers stretching things across the beach
You lot always stretch beyond your reach
Building castles of sand
Pouring concrete on land
Thinking yourself is safe
Borders in brick and ink
Like time in bleached and man-made structures
Do not measure me in cups and pots
I measure in erosion
Measure me in patience
Measure me in vengeance
You have never seen me in my final form, child
I was an ocean long before you were born
And what are you but another man
Claiming what he doesn't understand
A baby tryna name his mother
Ask my children for some wisdom
And you should listen when they tell you
Keep your distance, keep your distance
When they say the water is nice, that's a basket of lies
Water no get enemy, all my enemies have died
Whoever threaten me are mine
Wretched tourist, keep your offering
What use to me is blood money
But best believe I'm bloodthirsty when I want to be
I bring death and danger
Do not test me, foreigner
River don't know you
River don't like you
River don't like strangers
