You gotta wanna be like water
You gotta honor the energy of water
The infinity the return to symmetry
The depths and the mystery
The science and simplicity
I was sitting by the sea seeing what I can’t seize
Laid out on the rocks watching waves rock with the breeze
Sunsetting behind tranquility my designs
The connection to these tides inscribed into my sign
This compound element essential to nourish
All the flora and fauna god’s gift is liquid courage
Underestimated innocence baptizing benevolence
Endless amount of benefits purifies with its rivulets
Every poem I write like a message in a bottle
If you find it out there bobbing you can treat it like a promise
Panic hoarding in a closet where you could drink it out the faucet
Start a fire with Flint then use firehoses to douse it
Catching my undercurrents feel like an abandoned skiff
Sometimes like a battleship sometimes as a manta swift
Thirstier than ever keep it close to our lips
Yet we went from pursuing flow to coveting drip
You gotta wanna be like water
You gotta honor the energy of water
The infinity the return to symmetry
The depths and the mystery
The science and simplicity
Bruce Lee like water Mr. Freeze like water
Seven seas like water I emcee like water
Intervene like water in ravines like water
Different speeds like water digging deep like water
In your dreams like water
that’s for your interpretation
on a hot summer’s day find relief in water
Highest steam like water
A volcanic mountaintop when a rain drop hit it
High esteem like water
Basic need like water war and peace like water
Over greed which is natural and free like water
Falling from the sky
Hearing prayers when it’s dry
Falling from our eyes when we grieve
Like water
It’s most of you and I what makes a coast defined
Brings us close to the divine and divining is used to find
Live streams like water
In the streets in the seeds in the woods in the weeds
It’s what feeds us water
Be like water
Be like water
Be like water
Be like water
Steam from the hot springs
Minerals loosen up my tight strings
Deep dive catch me on the upswing
Clear channels now I'm feeling pristine
Ay
Moisture on Venus wet
Turned up in the sauna sweat
And I make the whole crowd flex
Monsoon rain check
Yemaya of the ocean wave
Oshun of the river cave
Pour libation onto all my saints
Blessings spilling over at the flame my gaze
Yeah
From rock bottom now we flow
Liquid gold running cold out of the hose
Aquifers in arid zone
The more we know the more we don't
Bad babies doing splashes
Drinking joy by the gallons
Under the bridge walk on the lake
Gliding in the balance
