Ooh mommy, umami
Umami, umami, ooh mommy
Go fish, go fish, go
Go fish, go fish, go
Ooh mommy, umami
Umami, umami, ooh mommy
Go fish, go fish, go
(Umami)
[Verse 1]
You a world record, you a world record
Come show off your gains, ma
You very trailblazer
Yup, she's a legendary diva
Young Cleopatra, such a teaser
Make all the boys wanna be her Caesar
Was she born with it? Maybellina
Still, she's the real no make believer
I like her she's cool because she loves her body
Educated smarty, savory sweet and she up in the party
We up in party checking for keys and for drinks and nobody
Walk that talk, that tic, that toc, that mommy
Rock that body
[Hook]
Ooh mommy, umami
Umami, umami, ooh mommy
Go fish, go fish, go
Go fish, go fish, go
Ooh mommy, umami
Umami, umami, ooh mommy
Go fish, go fish, go
(Umami)
[Verse 2]
She a jasmine smelling like a carnation
A real princess, no flip animation
Ooh mommy, don't wake daddy with this operation
It's a risk and I'm glad to watch you take it
Ay bro, go get the Hennessy it's an emergency
Mommy looking like she work for the agency
Conventional niggas ain't got no identity
These enemies showing their love through their jealousy, man
The ones who be hating
Just hate the temptation
If you don't get intersections
Then get out of my section
Come in disrespecting somebody
And we might just walk you right out the party
If we're feeling real cocky
Might pull a stunt on anyone knocking
[Hook]
Ooh mommy, umami
Umami, umami, ooh mommy
Go fish, go fish, go
Go fish, go fish, go
Ooh mommy, umami
Umami, umami, ooh mommy
Go fish, go fish, go
(Umami)
[Verse 3]
Girl, get the money, get the cash, live fast
Give a show, let me know you ain't fuckin' around
Girl, get the cash, get the money, live fast
Let 'em know you ain't playin' with that ass
Girl, get the money, get the cash, live fast
Give a show, let me know you ain't fuckin' around
Girl, get the cash, get the money, live fast
Let 'em know you ain't playin' with that ass
I love how you're keeping it real
Tell me, how does it feel up in them heels?
You keep giving whip appeal – no thottie frills
It must be your intuition, it must be your skills
Walk that talk, that tic, that toc, that mommy
Rock that body
You know you poppin', go off at the party like
Go off at the party like you know you poppin
Walk that talk, that tic, that toc, that mommy
Rock that body
Water (prod. Evian Christ)
(Mami Wata. Olokun. La sirene. Oshun. Yemoja. Axé!)
Soft suited flesh all in fluid
It's already into you, you were born into it
You can try to fight it, but strength isn't wisdom
With salt on the wounds, I brew tea for my kingdom
We sing beautiful tunes our mothers passed down to us
Would you kiss her with that mouth?
With that shit you let out?
Salt in my tears, we only break sweats from laughter
We move with no fears
We live smoothly ever after
I rather have water than money
Use your third eye to come find me
The grass is greener if you water it
I be on my deep daughter shit
Maintaining a paper chase
But I don't support paper waste
I hate bottled water but I love how bottled taste
Take me to the source, straight to the minerals
I'm up in the gully, it's so beautiful
Evian flow raps, Savion the way this taps
Tap, tap it like a faucet
Wet me up and wipe me down
Basic bitches hear the ocean in a shell
Do the wavy motion when I yell
Kiss the ring and see the crown
