Paris Jones - Above the Water lyrics

rate me

(Intro: News bulletin)

This afternoon was a protest in evident ? to that crime scene

Now, tonight, in front of the Ferguson Police Department

There is a group, on rest(?), on the side-walk

A group about 50 people or so chanting

Holding up signs, asking for drivers-by to honk

Hauling for PEACE!

(Hook)

Momma, keep yo head above water

Momma, momma, keep yo head above water

Murder, our people

Murder, our people

Papa, papa, keep yo head above water

Papa, papa, keep yo head above water

Hey!

Hold on, yeah!

Sister, sister, keep your head above water

Brethren, brother, keep your head above water

(Outro)

He got a life, I could give to my son

And he can come back

[...]

You not decide when you're gonna take somebody from here
