Lyrics

Wade with us, baptize and convert to the waves with us
 I tuned into what the future holds I could never be a slave, niggas
 They gon' have to pay me, Navy, downloaded by the tidals like Jay-Z
 That's a roll offshore like an A.P., Davy
 Jones' locker on top of those hoppers off the side of the ship
 Suicide, didn't die from the dip,
 submarine man, keep your eyes on the blips
 Sonar, echo, location,
 and where we are facin', get back to our nation, oh Lord
 So we walkin' back to Africa and I found a detour to the seashore
 Yes, jumped off the deck,
 to leave footsteps on the depths of the sea floor, ayy
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water
 Wow, wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow (yeah), walkin' on water, ayy
 Dive with us, vibe with us
 Imbibe with the tide, sea salty 'cause it cry with us
 When we looked it in the eyes, like how could you help her?
 But sigh and apologize and said that I'm sorry, we're shelter
 Y'all can live down here forever, drownin' and severed
 From all your lungs and the lungs of your sons
 Tell your daughters the water's a treasure
 Summon the forest, talkin' the trees
 Like how could you be in the chorus with something so horrid?
 You became boards for the floors and the doors of the warships
 Anthropomorphic, the forest returned with a match
 Made from itself and said, "Burn us with that"
 Then left again and came back with an axe
 We can serve you as furniture or furnace us black
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water
 Wow, wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, yeah
 Shipwreck with us
 Grab vessels, bring 'em down to the depths with us
 Take ahold of the bow where the G's are
 And The Brigantine Sanderson and La Amistad
 And The Henry of London and Elizabeth Fanny Butler
 And The Hector, and The Gree
 And The Baratoga and The Martha
 Glorin, and The Caroline and The Brittany, and The Comet
 Alabama and The Wanderer, Henrietta Marie
 The Molly, The Sloop, The Molican, The Boa Morte
 And The River Volta
 The Lordboard, The Elisee, The Eagle, The Agent Coker
 And The Colorado, Tar Tar, Morgan, and The Mizer
 The Pangas, The Mary Baugh, and The Surf (surf, surf)
 Williamsbury and The Liverpool
 The Marquis O' Grady, The Inbus, The Ferris
 The Leons, The Navigator, and The Phoenix
 Claytor, Muhgel, Dragon, Gray Way, Ruby
 Caroline, Bark, and The Tiger Nanny of Carlington
 Pinnace Swallow, The Green Dragon, and The Charles
 The Abel Aide, The Moon Tavern and The Slan,
 Hannibal of London Jeffry, Little Fleet, Mediterranean, Li Anelia,
 The Solomon, and The Tyre, Kaff, The Mersey, The Inbe,
 and The Little Napoleon,
 Rainbow Enterprise, The Katherine, Bristol, The Kambia, The Ann
 The Adelaide Brookes and The Lord (Lord Lord)
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water
 Wow, wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
 Yeah, rise with us
 From out the sevens to the Heavens in the skies in us
 Conversations with the constellations
 Why you navigate the haters
 Black baby alligator baiters
 Supposed to do greater, with all of your alphas and betas
 And minors and majors
 You were so busy just tryin' to shine
 You shoulda been tryin' to save us
 Star said, excuse our behavior
 We will be indebted to you for all of eternity
 If you cancelled your heart and forgave us
 Remove all our favors
 From childrens of sailors and slavers
 Repay you with acres
 But here in the heavens where harvest is greater
 A meager inheritance, pardon our arrogance
 Those with Americans, guide them to places much safer, ayy"
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water
 Wow, wow, walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
 My bones is where the beach is white
 Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
 So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
 So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow
 Walkin' on water, wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
 See, all that I have for you (forest)
 Are fire and math for you (stars)
 Fall off the flat for you (ocean)
 Sweeten the pie for you (seas)
 All that I have for you (forest)
 Are fire and math for you (stars)
 Fall off the flat for you (ocean)
 Sweeten the pie for you (seas)
 All that I have for you (forest)
 Are fire and math for you (stars)
 Fall off the flat for you (ocean)
 Sweeten the pie for you (seas)
 All that I have for you (forest)
 Are fire and math for you (stars)
 Fall off the flat for you (ocean)
 Sweeten the pie for you (seas)
