Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bloody waters
Drowning every day, every day
Feels like I'm running in slow motion
And I'm losing the race
[Verse 2]
Ooh, so frustrating
Ooh, you keep on taking
Ooh, corporate racists
Ooh, got me praying
[Verse 3]
'Cause all I hear is sirens
From every way
Every way, yeah
[Verse 4]
Can't make no sense about it
Tired of hearing about it
We ain't talkin' about it
We don't wanna see
Can't make no sense about it
Get so anxious about it
We keep talking around it
Reassess it, yeah
[Verse 5]
Speculate caution signs
Incriminate people's minds
War and love don't combine
Destiny doesn't roll the dice
Watch your back, save me mine
Under attack, spiritual kind
Where you stand, you decide
Destiny doesn't roll the dice
[Verse 6]
Bloody waters
Baptize me
Can't stand the rain
Oh Lord
Please come save me
From all this pain
Pain
[Verse 7]
Reparations
Ooh, no conversation
Ooh, insensitive maybe
Ooh, times ain't changing
No
People marching
No one's there to lead
Someone give me something to believe in
[Verse 8]
Can't make no sense about it
Tired of hearing about it
We ain't talkin' about it
We don't wanna see
Can't make no sense about it
Get so anxious about it
We keep talking around it
Reassess it, yeah
[Verse 9]
Speculate caution signs
Incriminate people's minds
War and love don't combine
Destiny doesn't roll the dice
Watch your back save me mine
Under attack spiritual kind
Where you stand you decide
Destiny doesn't roll the dice
