James Blake - Bloody Waters lyrics

[Intro: Ab-Soul & James Blake] Meet the man in the mask Meet the man in the mask All those days and all that stays and I don’t keep it, I won’t be here for it All those days and all that stays and I don’t keep it though, I won’t be here for it [Chorus: Anderson .Paak] Yes Lord, huh Hail Mary’s in the sky False prophets get buried alive Head on the throne ’cause that’s where I reside (reside) Ways of the world that we won’t survive Something’s in the water (water), ayy, my n***a we lawless (lawless) Please move with caution Who set the fairway? (fairway) damn right I need all this (all this) Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy [Post-Chorus: Ab-Soul] Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the Glock Screamin’ we gon’ make it like two-thirds of The LOX Yeah yeah, yeah yeah Pow pow, he comes, blah blah [Verse 1: Ab-Soul] Blood on my hands, I’ma need hot agua You gon’ meet Jamaica, I’m won’t say it in Patois Hope I strike a nerve like a pack of matches You might wanna bypa**, this smoke ain’t gas trick A prince-turned-pope tryin’ to do like kings do Sweatin’ in chess games, tryna move like kings move You should slow your roll before you drown in the moat He tried to channel the balance but never found the remote k**ers on the prowl still juggin’ off a lick Still a — with a double for his *bleep* Common politics, everlastin’ mayhem Draw to stick you for’ your figures, that’s how they hang man So what’s your game plan if you got one? You aimin’ at pa**engers with a shotgun? (woah) The aftermath is you in the scope It’s warfare, is war fair? (no) You understand? It’s probably better you don’t Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat Ship set sail and, planes depart The big picture’s in motion, are you playin’ your part? Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed Are you playin’ your role? As told by an organized criminal And general get off my genitals, I got your general [Chorus: Anderson .Paak] Hail Mary’s in the sky False prophets get buried alive Head on the throne ’cause that’s where I reside (reside) Ways of the world that we won’t survive Something’s in the water (water) ayy, my n***a we lawless (lawless) Please move with caution Who set the fairway? (fairway) damn right I need all this (all this) Yeah, Jack, I need all this [Verse 2: Ab-Soul] I had to be about 9 when I first had seen it Low lows pulled outside of the Ralph’s After a car show at Dominguez They had a disagreement, they had to air out Just another day in Del Amo Fo’ sho, man down, mando Thank, thank God I never had to knock your partner off Or be an another casualty of war, amen There’s four footprints in the sand where I walk I never claimed to be a saint at all Four Russians trippin’ with hollow tips (kla kla kla!) And a Kalashnikov, aimed at y’all No, Soulo hoe, kept it clean Ridin’ dirty, jury would have gave me thirty Herbie love buggin’ out, hit the target blindfolded Electorial college devoted To hit the score, to write the score that’s not a metaphor Ragin’ against the machinery, tapin’ up the scenery You gotta keep the piece, to keep the peace Got dough, squad up and mopped the block up for a cleanin’ fee [Outro: James Blake] I don’t need you to change I don’t need you to change yourself (get, get away) But I’ve got to get away (get, get away) I’ve got to get away from it all Be as free as you can Be as free as you can away from me I tried to be a saint like everybody else
