SIYAH - Holy Water lyrics

[Verse 1: SIYAH (Billy James)] It seems like I've sealed my fate Without a second thought But let me take you back to wear the fight began I was mesmerized by a way of life That got manipulated by the sleight of hand What once started as a revolution With more power than any single man Is now a legal form of prostitution Just a quick way to make a hundred grand, Damn What a way of life, and they ask me why I still pray at night And they ask me why I keep talking 'bout God 'Cause God's the only one that can save us right? (Right) I was a born king without a silver spoon or a sword to swing Still working my way to the top, I ain't never been dropped Even though I had to drop the team, but There's no love lost, no blood offerings or sacrifices This lifestyle's so enticing yet filled up with so many vices I - need to break away with each pa**ing day I get a blakker heart But how can I sit back and watch As they tear apart this sacred art All this talking 'bout illuminati got everybody tryna imitate Scared to commentate won't speak up All they do is give the run around So I stepped up and I stood firm 'Cause I made a promise to hold you down You can call whatever name calms ya soul And you can hold your nose so you won't drown, but [Hook: SIYAH x Billy James] And, as I'm going down to the devil's water I ask you, God, to protect my soul Ask you, God, to protect my soul I ask you, God, to protect my soul As I'm going down to the devil's water I Ask you, God, to protect my soul Ask you, God, to protect my soul I Ask you, God, to protect my soul
