Bloody Waters lyrics - Ab-Soul, Anderson .Paak, James Blake

 (from "Black Panther" soundtrack)

[Ab-Soul:]

Meet the man in the mask

Meet the man in the mask

[James Blake:]

All those days and all that stays and

I don't keep it

I won't be here for it

All those days and all that stays and

I don't keep it though

I won't be here for it

[Anderson .Paak:]

Yes Lord, huh

Hail Mary's in the sky

Bossed up let's get buried alive

Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)

Ways of the world that we won't survive

Something's in the water

My nigga we lawless (lawless)

Please move with caution

Who set the fair way? (fair way)

Damn right I need all this (all this)

Yeah Jack I need all this, eyy

[Ab-Soul:]

Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the Glock

Screaming we gonna make it like two-thirds of the LOX

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Pow pow, he comes, blah blah

Blood on my hands I'ma need hot agua

You gon' meet Jamaica I'm won't say it in Patois

Hope I strike a nerve like a pack of matches

You might wanna bypass this smoke ain't gas trick

A prince-turned-pope trying to do like kings do

Sweating in chess games try move like kings move

You should slow your roll before you drown in the moat

He tried to channel the balance but never found the remote

Killers on the prowl still juggin' off a lick

Stealing with a double for his-

Common politics, everlasting mayhem

Draw the stick for' your figures that's how they hang man

So what's your game plan if you got one?

You aimin' at passengers with a shotgun? (woah)

The aftermath is you in the scope

It's warfare, is war fair? (no)

You understand? It's probably better you don't

Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat

Ship set sailing, planes depart

The big picture's in motion, are you playing your part?

Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed

Are you playing your role?

As told by an organized criminal

And general get off my genitals I got your general

[Anderson .Paak:]

Hail Mary's in the sky

Bossed up let's get buried alive

Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)

Ways of the world that we won't survive

Something's in the water (the water)

My nigga we lawless (lawless)

Please move with caution

Who set the fair way? (fair way)

Damn right I need all this (all this)

Yeah Jack I need all this

[Ab-Soul:]

I had to be 'bout 9 when I first had seen it

Low lows pulled outside of the Ralph's

After a car show at Dominguez

They had a disagreement, they had to air out

Just another day in Del Amo

Fo' sho man down, mando

Thank God I never had to knock your partner off

Or be an another casualty of war, Amen

There's 4 footprints in the sand where I walk

I never claimed to be a saint at all

Four Russians trippin' with hollow tips

And a kalashnikov, ain't that ya'll

No, Soulo hoe, kept it clean

Riding dirty jury would have gave me thirty

Herby love buggin' out, hit the target blindfolded

Electorial college devoted

To hit the score, to write the score that's not a metaphor

Raging against the machinery, taping up the scenery

You gotta keep the piece, to keep the peace

Got dough, squad up and mopped the block up for a cleaning fee

[James Blake:]

I don't need you to change

I don't need you to change yourself (get, get away)

But I've got get away (get, get away)

But I've got get away from it all

Be as free as you can

Be as free as you can away from me

I tried to be a saint like everybody else
