Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
Y'all gon' get me bowed up
When that beat hit it's like three kicks
In your knees up to your nose, huh
You knows us
Unashamed, Uno Uno Seis, whoa
Tatted on my skin, all up in your face, whoa
If I ain't bout that live, then I ain't ɾeally livin'
But if you [A7can't see my [A]light then maybe [Am]I ain't in it
Champagne, champagne, celebratin' my [A]campaign
I just dug a well in West Africa
But how many of my [A]friends is African, huh?

Most segregated time of day is Sunday service
Now what you [A7think that say about the God you [A7worship?
First of all, I know it ain't a song [Am]that's gon' change the world
There's no way
It's not a guilt tɾip, it's a field tɾip that's gon' last more than one day
What you [A7thought, huh?
Faith ain't bout no soft stuff
I heard you [A7just went overseas, now come back home and [Bm]boss up
Buy a bottle for [Dm7]a fee, dirty water
Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water, dirty water
Buy a bottle for [Dm7]a fee, dirty water
Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water
Ain't no filters in this town, dirty water
Worthless, worthless, 400 years we done heard that
My family came here on [C7]slave ships
Some herd cattle, some herd blacks
Know some of y'all [Em]done heard that
My kin was [Am7]tɾeated less than men
That's why we ɾaised to [C7]hate each other, cause we hate our skin
Lies you [A7told about yourself that you [A7don't ɾealize
I must be [Am]a thief, she locked the doors when I was [Am7]walking by
They must be [Am]whores 'cause the master ɾapes them [A]and [Bm]leaves
The child
So dead beat daddy was [Am7]taught to [C7]me way before my [A]time
Now we extɾeme, buying fancy things like [F]gold chains
Just pretty shackles, we still enslaved
Put 'em [A]ɾound your neck, 'cause we still hangin'
Hood preacher told 'em [A]they should live as kings
You call [Em]him devil, he fightin' for [Dm7]self esteem
It's hard to [C7]dream when your water ain't clean
Now look at Lucifer's scheme as how to [C7]be [Am]in a team
Blood in the ocean to [C7]these African stɾeams
This dirty water ain't nothin' we haven't seen
Buy a bottle for [Dm7]a fee, dirty water
Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water, dirty water
Buy a bottle for [Dm7]a fee, dirty water
Bodies floatin' in the sea, dirty water
Blood flowin' from the ground, dirty water
Ain't no filters in this town, dirty water
