(Verse 1 – Jamila Woods)
A body of water inside me
Reminds me of oceans, though I’ve never known one
I’m born by a cold one
It’s only a small one compared
To the coast, I prefer it to most
I like water that don’t burn my eyes when they open
I won’t let you get inside
My city like my skin, it’s so pretty
If you don’t like it, just leave it alone
(Pre Chorus – Jamila Woods)
You gotta love me like I love the lake
You wanna love me, better love the lake
You gotta love me like I love the lake
You wanna love me, better love the lake
You didn’t think I really had it like that
You ain’t think we really had it like that
You didn’t think I really had it like that
Matter fact, we can swim in it
I know you wanna get in it
(Chorus – Jamila Woods)
Get on the highway, highway, baby
You’ll get in my way, my way, baby
See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
And we don’t ever leave the ground
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Verse 2 – Chance The Rapper)
This year ain’t for no Vice doc
This year ain’t for no Spike op
But since I was one like a cyclops
I run up some stairs on a bike cop
I shake up some hands on the right block
Block club president, night watch
My ni**as was real when the mic dropped
I put ’em in my will like a bike lock
Got family in Gary and STL, I got cousins in Milwaukee
I got family in Detroit and ATL, I got an auntie that steal our Wii
We the number one gentrified
Run inside, gimme my land, the new Chi tits perky
Face lift and makeshift spaces
Invest the rest in a number 25 Knicks jersey
Gra** is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn’t be farther
And I’m supposed to father my daughter?
She the princess in the dragon’s lair
I’m a dragon slayer, I can’t fly away
This on hide away, I gotta find a way
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro – Jamila Woods)
I will never leave you
I’m everything you made me
Even when you break me down
The water always saves me
I could never leave you
I’m only what you make me
Even though you break my heart
The water’s gonna save me
