Dirty Water

by K-Os

album: Joyful Rebellion (2004)

CHORUS

I don't know where I'm coming from

Only know where I belong

There's dirty water in my bones

She... I know she will follow me

But she ain't got no sympa...

She ain't got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money

She ain't got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money

Alright, okay, yeah

Alright, okay, yeah

Alright, okay, yeah

VERSE

At the age of eighteen,

came on the scene clean,

now I know what pains means.

Spent time in the darkest places,

beautiful faces in the dark oasis.

Trying to take this to the full extent.

Am I real heaven sent?

Clark Kent's my alter ego.

Took that girl down to Puerto Rico.

Now I find out that we're not amigos.

Treated her foul never as an equal

Now I'm all sad just because my ego,

Had a golden key, couldn't find a key hole.

Yo, stop let the beat rock,

conscious hip hop is gettin dropped.

Wake up saw B and the little one,

little son had b-phids done.

Easy come, easy go.

Everyone thinks they know,

'bout the thing, high unknown.

Put their thoughts on a throne,

then they name it G-O-D,

colonize, you and me.

But I'm free, in the sky,

me, myself, and I. Word.

CHORUS

I don't know where I'm coming from

Only know where I belong

There's dirty water in my bones

She... I know that she will follow me

But she ain't got no sympa...

She ain't got no sympathy, and I got something on my knee

She ain't got no sympathy, and I got something on my knee

Alright, okay, yeah

Alright, okay, yeah

Alright, okay, yeah

VERSE

I was walkin down the mountainside.

No matter what I did I couldn't hide,

from all the things inside of me.

Seems that I was living fantasy,

singing, oh, how time flies, with crystal clear eyes.

This life I know is gone.

Oh, how time flies, with crystal clear eyes.

This girl I like is gone, and now I leave home.

She ain't got no sympathy, and I got something on my knee

She ain't got no sympathy, and I got something on my knee
