Like the Water

My spirit was hangin on by a thread So I was thinkin maybe you could raise me from the dead too Know ya prolly thinkin, know how many times I blessed you Not to mention that you made me strong enough to press through Pressure busts pipes but without it ain't no diamond ring Can't get the wrinkles out without the heat from the ironing Learned so many lessons plenty of em were the hard way You were right beside me but it felt like you were far away All day, stewin, the devil inside he keep brewin Leave ruins, shattered it all but imma keep gluein Keep movin, remember the promises of the father - to keep ready baby ya gotta be like the water Baby, malleable, and never underestimate what's valuable If only everything was fixable with throwin capital And I ain't see that catapult comin forever thanking you I prolly woulda waited forever so I could make a move - it ain't an easy life - and that's the whole point - Found a little piece of Heaven while I roll joints In the wee hours it's cloudy can't even see outta And the tree sour you look so good I could de-vour I screamed louder than ever that was the Holy Ghost And imma try to pull you inside me when you say hold me close Ain't gettin back those days we took for granted but dammit Know they can't keep me out this time I just step on it and ram it Ain't notin preciouser to me than time wit you when it's candid And I still kiss the ground and thank the lord every time I land it I'm still in awe when I look around I see how we expanded No longer feel like a cast away I can't really be stranded On a new road, this one is harder I move on two toes Like ballet dancers, I'm Mike - not Kukoc I don't know how much I can stomach and still save face Now I know why I keep on runnin and in same place I ain't gettin started wit notin until I say grace - it's complicated, prices on a case base - - I was just floating out in them murky waters Clear as a bell now, - so I know that you heard me father I don't do the dash anymore, I just escaped a crash Reminiscing thinkin bout you, forgot to shake the ash You forever queen of my world, and you don't need a sash Use me how you need me I'm here, I'm finally free alas
