Water

When I'm talkin' 'bout the water I really mean my element I ain't from the streets Just the daughter of no celibacy That don't mean I ain't seen some things That be messin' with me That don't mean people 'round here be stressing me Bragging about making 12 dollars an hour Working swing shift with yo baby mama At home with broken shower All I can say is more power to you I be on a plane back to my own tower I been on a different version of trashy where I came from When I step foot back home they say where that classy came from I don't really know is what I tell 'em honey But I ain't living cheap no more that shit dummy It's kinda crazy how fast time go by I used to think I need a man who knew what poor was like Now I skip that shit just listen to these stories, right? Think I'm an open book? wait till you hear my music hit the mic When I'm talkin' 'bout the water I really mean my element I ain't from the streets Just the daughter of no celibacy That don't mean I ain't seen some things That be messin' with me That don't mean people round here be stressing me Great grand daddy's old lady one who raised me Making taters while my mom faced off her ass No one could save her 'til my daddy came in like a savior It's no lie We still have our difference but the biggest difference One who lived and one who died Now don't get me twisted, I've been good livin' I've been eatin' pie, goddamn each year is a different ride Steady streamin' is the only thing that's keepin' me alive Been on the pole, now back to school You know ain't no missguided My grip has only tightened Sit back and watch me rise Don't believe in God but I pray to god that it's only in sight When I'm talkin' 'bout the water I really mean my element I ain't from the streets Just the daughter of no celibacy That don't mean I ain't seen some things That be messing with me That don't mean people round here be stressing me Damn, who's River? You know that bitch always delivers Cos I'm a hard hitter go getter Eatin' clean and fresh beats for dinner Damn my flows just got sicker Take my time when I look in the mirror I've never seen my future look so clear Only get what you need when you are sincere Listen yourself, don't listen to your fears Next thing you know everything you want is here When i'm talking bout the water I don't mean my wrists I'm The River and I'm flowing, put it down can't miss Just a person who nurtures her gifts What I say, what I do don't contradict That's why I'm seen fruits and energy shifts Vibrate like you made it and you got that shit Who you around really leaves imprints Don't let them bring you down, and don't resist ADHD so I talk real fast One thing about me is I ain't pleasing to the masses Hustling and I still take a few classes A rollie on my wrist we talking future or past A dynamic bitch out here to get the bag This has been my dream since my momma got bagged Try to fuck with me no wigs being grabbed take you down With my words and that's on facts Played the clarinet so I never thought I'd rap But I never shut up so what should I expect Writing every day really has me blessed Drawin' up my own version of success Flowin like The River I am the Goddess, If my energy got you pressed then I need you to confess What's really goin' on is you're obsessed
