lirik lagu benny starr - the water keeps rising
put the black man on a boat
black woman on the boat too
spilling blood in the field, it’s real
so everything a n~gga sing feel spiritual
white man came here in the lord’s name
white man brought the world war
we got a boat full of rebels and we pulling up
revolution on the shore
tell me what you gonna do when the water keeps rising
tell me how you gon’ survive it
what you gonna do when the water keeps rising?
how you gonna colonize it?
what you gon’ do when the rain brings heaven down
to the h~ll that you raised up all around us?
what you gonna do when thе water keeps rising?
realizing that the watеr won’t drown us
what you gonna do?
gave a 20 dollar bill to a woman on the street for a fresh meal
in front of a hotel that clipped the ribbon
where the black folk used to be
now hipsters living
poor folks under under the bridge
that’s the black zone
black folks gets forced out of their black homes
so whenever i… broach the topic or approach the logic
you bet a n~gga be talking in a black tone
i’m a witness to a city that turned god to capital
bread and wine ain’t really divine in this town
god bless the chirren who living through all that
so maligned yet aligned with this sound
i’m not a rich white girl in white pearls
riding through the hood just to make it to a brewery
this ain’t nothing new to me
this another thing
when your life raft is in the path of a hurricane…
what you gon’ do when the water keeps rising?
tell me what you gon’ do when the water keeps rising
what you gonna do when the water starts rising?
how you gonna colonize it?
what you gonna do when the rain brings heaven down
to the h~ll that you raised up all around us?
what you gonna do when the water keeps rising
and you’re realizing that the water won’t drown us?
what you gonna do?
