Kaya Marceé - Rivers of Water

My people
Hold your head up high
Believe in the Most high
Don't frown
Don't let it bring you down
Choose Life, yea
Don't be bound
Keep your joy, let it flow
Peace to your mind, let it go
He'll give you life
pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water

I know it's hard even when his love so deep
Yea his love so deep
Same situations you can't defeat
Goals and dreams you can't seem to reach
Write the vision that's what the preacher preach
Preach
9-5 you workin it 9-5 why we workin it
We got gifts and callings we desertin em
Tryna make a dolla outa 15 cents
Or we head to the corner for the 15 cents
And we angry like a bull in a net
Can't catch a break cause our minds in a net
And we trapped like a bull in a net

My people
Hold your head up high
Believe in the Most high
Don't frown
Don't let it bring you down
Choose Life
Don't be bound
Let it flow
Let it go
He'll give you life
Pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water

I hate the stereotypical thoughts of the physical 6:7 black man
Ballin on the court and he can't understand
On the court is the ticket to the game
Or the game for a ticket to a free education
But the hustle of hard rocks accepting this hard knock life
Full of babies with baby daddies who don't want their babies or baby mammas
No drama single mammas feeling like they got bad karma
These curses obedience reverses
Check Deuteronomy verses 28:1-68
Not choosing life is a twisted fate

My people
Hold your head up high
Believe in the Most high
Don't frown
Don't let it bring you down
Choose Life
Don't be bound
Let it flow
Let it go
He'll give you life
Pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water

My people
Hold your head up high
Believe in the Most high
Don't frown
Don't let it bring you down
Choose Life, yea
Don't be bound
Keep your joy, let it flow
Peace to your mind, let it go
He'll give you life
pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Drowning in it
I'm drowning in it
Pure rivers of water
Flow rivers of water
