Remo The Hitmaker - Rain In The Water lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Fred The Godson] This feel like a Negro spiritual From a n***a that's lyrical Fred The God's God fearing I fear there's no fear in you Get these liars outta here I hear you wanna hear the truth The Fr3shmen just walked in Please! Can we share the booth? The beat, can I marry you? Can another sound carry it? I'm coming from the underground Can I tell them ‘bout Harriet? Jump in that tub man And wash away your sins Our pastor's pastor He told me that he comin' again No, this ain't the matrix They say it's the instrumental to the slave ship This where they threw Mandela and right up in that cave sh** And say we couldn't say sh** Than hit the Diallo 41 times This where I say sh** Fred hate this But Frederick love it Feel like I'm bopping with Frederick Dougla** In Harlem on Frederick Dougla** My brother's ancestors from my brother's and sisters Half sisters can I talk too em? [Hook: Remo the Hitmaker] Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water X2 [Verse 2: Fred The Godson] This more than rap sh** This water dripping down the back o' John the Baptist This is the pope's casket In the middle were Vaticans and the Catholics Jesus died on the cross We party with Easter baskets Stupid ba*tards They don't know where math is So I gotta mask it Spin it for the ma**es Open your lashes Thorns in his head Carry cross Point to Miles Back full of slashes I see my grand-mother holding my uncle's ashes I seen Rodney King get beaten by them badges This girl I know she lost her brother for this flag, sh** He was in Iraq fighting for these f*gs, sh** You can't tell me this is justice There gotta be more to life, it can't be just this I'm disgusted like some b**h and I cuffed it They put our lives inside people's hands that can't be trusted Can we discuss it? Ya'll wanna talk now You read footprints. Ya'll gotta walk now You know if we come together, we'll be a force now The president is black. Who you says at fault now? I don't know the answers but the revolution will be televised so bring your cameras I said I don't know the answers but the revolution will be televised so bring your cameras [Hook: Remo the Hitmaker] Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water X2 Rain in the water God's gonna show the water Oh the water He's gonna show the water Rain in the water Rain in the water, children Rain in the water God gonna show the water X2
