Fred The Godson - Rain In The Water [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Fred The Godson]
This feel like a Negro spiritual
From a nigga that’s lyrical
Fred The God’s God fearing
I fear there’s no fear in you
Get these liars outta here
I hear you wanna hear the truth
The Fr3shmen just walked in
Please! Can we share the booth?
The beat, can I marry you?
Can another sound carry it?
I’m coming from the underground
Can I tell them ‘bout Harriet?
Jump in that tub man
And wash away your sins
Our pastor’s pastor
He told me that he comin’ again
No, this ain’t the matrix
They say it’s the instrumental to the slave ship
This where they threw Mandela and right up in that cave shit
And say we couldn’t say shit
Than hit the Diallo 41 times
This where I say shit
Fred hate this
But Frederick love it
Feel like I’m bopping with Frederick Douglass
In Harlem on Frederick Douglass
My brother’s ancestors from my brother’s and sisters
Half sisters can I talk too em?

[Hook: Remo the Hitmaker]
Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water

[Verse 2: Fred The Godson]
This more than rap shit
This water dripping down the back o’ John the Baptist
This is the pope’s casket
In the middle were Vaticans and the Catholics
Jesus died on the cross
We party with Easter baskets
Stupid bastards
They don’t know where math is
So I gotta mask it
Spin it for the masses
Open your lashes
Thorns in his head
Carry cross
Point to Miles
Back full of slashes
I see my grand-mother holding my uncle’s ashes
I seen Rodney King get beaten by them badges
This girl I know she lost her brother for this flag, shit
He was in Iraq fighting for these fags, shit
You can’t tell me this is justice
There gotta be more to life, it can’t be just this
I’m disgusted like some bitch and I cuffed it
They put our lives inside people’s hands that can’t be trusted
Can we discuss it? Ya’ll wanna talk now
You read footprints. Ya’ll gotta walk now
You know if we come together, we’ll be a force now
The president is black. Who you says at fault now?
I don’t know the answers but the revolution will be televised so bring your cameras
I said I don’t know the answers but the revolution will be televised so bring your cameras

[Hook: Remo the Hitmaker]
Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water
X2

Rain in the water
God’s gonna show the water
Oh the water He’s gonna show the water

Rain in the water
Rain in the water, children
Rain in the water
God gonna show the water
X2
