Water Baby

'Cause I was born a water baby
 Swimming with these times
 The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
 'Cause I would live through days that break me
 Swimming with these times
 The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
 I'm still tryna write the story as I see it
 The trouble is when I say it, they don't believe it
 The reckon I only say it but I don't mean it
 I'm tryna tell 'em I'd only say it if I can feel it
 'Cause money's tight, maybe tighter than it was before
 I'm helping out on the mortgage I really can't afford
 Family breaking north, I cover the trips abroad
 Shakin', I'm making another loss on another tour
 But what I done it for?
 To see my mother in the sun abroad
 I run into trouble, it was coming for
 My little brother got the hunger for
 All the exact same pain
 That makes the rain my stomach pour
 So let me paint it broader
 This for any dude who's got a daughter
 Living off lines that your papa taught her
 Ain't got no time to be coming for you

 Don't you worry
 Two leaves won't grow the same
 And people might forget your name
 Doesn't matter if they do
 Don't you hurry
 When the hot coffee pours will stain
 And when the Uber left you in the rain
 Your time will come around to you
 Despite the stress of spending so much time alone
 'Cause this ge-o-gra-phy is keeping me at home
 And I don't know the way to go
 I move with the flow of this running water, this running water
 'Cause I was born a water baby
 Swimming with these times
 The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
 'Cause I would live through days that break me
