Water lyrics

Artist  : Chino Xl 
Song : Water
 
[Hook]
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I had
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad

[Verse 1]
She was everything I needed
Atleast that's what god's contract between us
stated
After 25 years of my experience of her lack of
maternal instincts
I found I've defeated all odds to make it
Without a mama's love now I feel out of place
Extra wounds for a man who's never seen his
father's face
As mama freebased the money for my high school
tuition
From my stepfather's home I would always catch an
eviction
Or a swift punch to the face
Bleeding rivers of red, fled to any quiet place
I couldn't believe that she said
He meant more to her than I did, just goodbye kid
I hope you die kid is what I viewed through my
busted eyelids
I slit my wrist and sit and watch the droplets
run on the floor
My cousin kicked in the door, nigga I was at war
With who was supposed to be my life bringer
The all knower, my nourisher, my aspiration
encourager
I figured the fault's due to how my uncle
assaulted you
And grandma died still believing it wasn't true
But I'm your only child, how can you turn your
back on me
I cannot accept your apology
I'm sorry you dead to me mommy

[Hook]
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I had
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad
(Treat a man so bad so bad so bad.
You need someone to love you) It must be in the
water

[Verse 2]
Why you making me leaving you much more feasable
than staying
I gave you everything, please be reasonable
You're my queen by which all other women will be
judged
I wanted to die so much with nobody to trust
Deep down, I felt that she was just another liar
Now I wouldn't spit on her if she was on fire
Presice way to describe it, damn I shoulda been
out
Our relationship a hand grenade, you just pulled
the pin out
No doubt, my world was on the rocks
My life a car crash on the side of the road,
y'all slowin down to watch
 
I'ma leave silently tonight, you'll never find me
I guess i'm tired of seeing my best friend's car
parked in my driveway bit*h

[Hook]
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I had
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
Yeah, it's in the water

[Verse 3]
I met you 8 years ago
Your smile captivated my soul which was miserable
I fell in love with you instantly
I knew I wanted to protect you from this world
You were related to my girl
And even after only one year of your life
Your intelligence and love for me shined so
bright
I was only 17 but it didn't take me long
To realize that I wanted to raise you as my own
And although biologically there is no tie that
binds
There is no blood test that could tell me you
ain't mines
And its never been kept a secret for who your
real father is
But that motherf**ker don't know what your
favorite color is
And he don't know in school what your favorite
subject is
And when you have bad dreams at night you call my
name not holler his
And sometimes I wonder if you found me or I found
you
And I would never say a bad word about that man
around you
The older you get, the closer we get, It's harder
for me
I hate the way your mom's family gives us family
priority
Or authority when he told child support 'Look she
ain't mines'
Where was they when he was giving your moms black
eyes
But the fact lies and now whatever
Our last name's the same
And you and your sister's future is filled with
anything you dream
But I gotta realistically look upon tomorrow
To the first time you get upset at me and say
'You ain't my father'

[Hook]
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I had
It must be somethin' in the water they drink
Why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad
(Treat a man so bad so bad so bad.
You need someone to love you) It must be in the
water
