Trouble in the Water Lyrics

[Intro]
What's up, world?
Gon' give you a little love right here
My man DJ Honda blessed us with a joint
Word up, De La up in here, ha
We gon' spread a little love
To some folks who up in my head right now
Aight? Check it out

[Verse 1]
It was a big deal moving my big wheel to L.I.
Had a backyard, though shit moved slow
Caught a cat on the humble, wassup, wassup, kid?
Y'all be memorizin' flicks of the wild things we did
We was brick wall niggas, six small niggas
And they knew it and wasn't nobody runnin' through us
Step in the backyard, parties was a blast
Fucking up our sneakers on the wet grass
Remember getting stabbed in ya ass?
Your moms sat us all down
Said we was niggas and clowns, but it was just love
And, plus, love showed me that she was a diamond
Findin' out God took her hit me dead on my heart
It made the eye water start
But you was strong, can ya hear me Huggy?
Keep your mind crystal clear when your thought gets muggy
We them easy street kids from Mr. Bryant's basement
Wishin' for the Apollo, tryin' to get dough
Now my times move slow, ain't it all full circle?
A dove cry, makes the whole scene turn purple
Remember that night you had to hide in the freezer?
For real, see them kids were real, we still slid
But now we grown niggas and we handling kids
We been since day one and the days ain't over
Gotta share a back seat, push with the chauffeur
My pops said he's waiting for your ass in the zone
So we can fly to the land and welcome you home
Rob-O, see we good to go, you know the rest
Don't stress, love-love, baby, aight?

[Chorus]
If you got time to give, I got time to think
See, it could all change in one eye blink
While you in the troubled water I hope ya don't sink
Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink (Check it out)

[Verse 2]
Some rarely saw the negative, pause
From the depths of one's blurs, everything's now cleared by laws
Mad for mere seconds in the span of dying
Trying to tell you don't go, I'm about to blow
No more innocence, it's about the dollars
And events of fame
Aren't you? Search your name
From the group? Search your name
On the dotted line, back before the rhyme I had reasons
To punch the kid who tried teasin' during lunch
It was a matter of promoting decency
But the "de" and the "cy" fell off, so I sinned
Again and again until Jesus came down
Wait, I'm still sinning (I guess he hasn't reached the ground)
Thoughts of me before my voice could
Even recall, couldn't afford the physical, peep
How then was now, but now is not
Yo, I'm a minute wiser, but it seems, kid
I got some beef, can't take or shake off the wrong
Accept my apologies to bypass the horn
No need for false alarm, word up
The nuyopian charm is for sure back again
It's rememberin' the was that is now gone
For the axis of the now so I can move on
For the axis of the now so I, so I—

[Chorus]
If you got time to give, I got time to think
See, it could all change in one eye blink
When you in the troubled waters I hope ya don't sink
Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink
If you got time to give, I got time to think
See, it could all change in one eye blink
When you in the troubled waters I hope ya don't sink
Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink

[Outro]
Goodnight, world (Goodnight, world)
De La, y'all, uh
My man DJ Honda's on the beat like this
Don't sink (Don't sink), don't sink (Don't sink, y'all)
Just letting y'all into the fleeing moments of the memories of mine
And I'm out like this
One time (One time)
