[Verse 1: Kojey Radical]
I’m sure you’ve heard this all before
Sure you look familiar
Sure the cost of living keep on rising with no limits
N-N-Name a politician, gave a fuck about your feelings
Name a single trend that didn’t end up like a gimmick
Think there’s something in the water
Tell me what the mission is, I see lead showers
Code word, Flint Michigan
Attire match my melanin
Black on black is militant
Represents my diligence
I see through that privilege

[Chorus: Kojey Radical]
Something's in the water
I think there’s something in the water

[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]
And I still don’t watch the news
Barely trust the facts now
Liar liar liar, throwing stones then hide your hands, wow
That don’t make no man proud
Tears might make my city drown
I’m too scared to speak to God
There’s shooters in the churches now
Something's in the water
Tell me what the mission is
Just another citizen that sacrifice my discipline
Still don’t know my origin
Still don’t know who’s listening
Still can’t tell the difference between strength and my conditioning
[Chorus: Kojey Radical & Mahalia]
Something's in the water (Something's in the water)
I think there’s something in the water

[Verse 3: Mahalia & Kojey Radical / Both]
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, ah
I’ve been gone a while now
Never thought I’d come back to this
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, ah
I heard we been falling down
Whatchu mean we’re falling down to this
I don’t get this fuckery
This was never taught to me
I don’t know how we got here
Oh so suddenly
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, ayy
I’m stood at the border
And there’s something in this water

[Chorus: Kojey Radical & Mahalia]
Something's in the water
I think there’s something in the water
Something's in the water
I think there’s something in the water

[Verse 4: Kojey Radical with Mahalia]
It seems that all we do is talk and never listen to the fiction
Clear as water that it’s all a masquerade
For the love of my addiction, tire marks and 911’s
Hear no evil, see no evil in my lane
Same old story, pain and glory, fit inside your categories
Numbers said I wouldn’t see another day
What more can I say?
I think the rain my guardian angel, fall from heaven just like Gabriel
Come and take away the pain
[Outro: Mahalia]
Something's in the water
Bad things in this water
Something's in my brothers
Something like no other
I can’t put my finger on it
All I know is we don’t want it
All I know is if we carry on then we will fall
All I know is if we take this on then we will lose it all, yeah
Something in the water
