project water - kobi of free99 lyrics

hook :
wasn’t enough that could save me
can’t swim somebody save me
out here drowning in a stream of tears , i dove in like ain’t no fear rock bottom there was nothing there
lost souls in a stream of blood
took 21 years to see what it was , to see what it was

full verse :

from where
the youth growing up fast like devin hester
i’m still growing as a man , i can’t give a lecture
just watch your step cus your past gone be faster than you
cus murders hard to take back like tattoos
8 mile there go his shirt dripping ragu
from gangs throwing up signs like mom’s spaghetti
ain’t no fear round here they holding it steady
the day your sentence gone be over you’ll be old as betty
for serving white , they giving life take my advice
i seen it all the project waters contaminated
a leaking faucet while inspections soon to be mandated
the same water where the drugs being flushed
probably recycle to a child’s bath and corrupt (sh-t)
you don’t understand the flow stays in the environment
cus this where everybody, knows everybody
ain’t no plug , you need drugs you payless like shaq shoes
cus as long as they get paid n-gg- cash rules
we sipping the gl-ss like theirs a cure for wellness
we survive living off subsidized so we’re helpless
uhh so we’re helpless uhh

ain’t n-body give nothing to me
ain’t n-body hand nothing to me
been giving my hands out to the lord cus nothing ain’t free
got a n-gg- tryna leave just maintain
all your friends go to jail , can’t stay sane
go and make your mom proud get your own lane
back then couldn’t swim but i dove in
been struggling need something to give
something to push for , something to shove for something to give my hands up to the lord for
you can leave as long as you don’t have a closed eye
i dove in it took years til my clothes dried
project water, took a bath in it
did my dirt , still lied in it
had to make it out cus ain’t n-body even make it this far
drowning inside a community flooded from the f-cking law
embarr-ssed by this side of town they treating us here like a flaw
tryna get out like we was stuck inside the sunken place
hypnotized by the government it don’t even matter the race
they ask for 30 percent that’s 20 more then what the lords asking
i ain’t here complaining i’m just out loud dividing fractions
the other 60 wish my mom dedicated to p-ssion
she said
you wanna be an artist go get the truth involved
mom i do this for y’all
so they can know our story
there’s a difference in feeling pain and feeling for it

this was back when she couldn’t get me concords
cus she couldn’t afford it
she said son use your brain rise above that water
you see
we all can’t breathe , and we all can’t leave
mom i see your helping hand she said son follow me
whole family beside me , packed the bags untimely
friends wonder where i’m going i just wish that i could show em

life outside the water

**** birds chirping ****
