Rain In The Water Lyrics

[Verse 1: Fred The Godson]
This feel like a Negro spiritual
From a nigga that's lyrical
Fred The God's God fearin'
I fear there's no fear in you
Get these liars outta here
I hear you wanna hear the truth
The Freshman just walked in
Please, can we share the booth?
The beat, can I marry it?
Can another sound carry it?
I'm comin' 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 right up in that cave shit
And say we couldn't say shit
Than hit the Diallo 41 times
This where I stay, shit
Fred hate this, but Frederick love it
Feel like I'm boppin' with Frederick Douglass
In Harlem on Frederick Douglass
Sing, my brother's ancestors from my brother's and sisters
Half sisters, can I talk to 'em?
[Chorus: Remo the Hitmaker]
Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water
Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water

[Verse 2: Fred The Godson]
This more than rap shit
This water drippin' down the back of John the Baptist
This is the pope's casket
In the middle of Vaticans and the Catholics
Jesus died on the cross
We party with Easter baskets Stupid bastards, they don't know where math is
So I gotta mastered to spit it for the masses
Open your lashes
Thorns in his head
Carry cross, point two miles
Back full of slashes
I see my grandmother holdin' my uncle's ashes
I seen Rodney King get beaten by them badges
This girl I know she lost her brother for this flag shit
He was in Iraq fightin' for these fags, shit
You can't tell me this is justice
It gotta be more to life, it can't be just this
I'm disgusted, life's a bitch and I cuffed it
They put our lives inside people's hands that can't be trusted
Can we discuss it? Y'all don't wanna talk now
You read footprints, y'all 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
(One more time, Fred)
I said I don't know the answers
But the revolution will be televised, so bring your cameras
[Chorus: Remo the Hitmaker]
Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water
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
Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water
