WAV Files - Lupe Fiasco - Song Lyrics

Wade with us. Baptize and convert to the waves with us
I tuned in to what the future holds. I could never be a slave, niggas
They gon' have to pay me, Navy. Downloaded by the tidals like Jay-Z
That's a roll offshore like an A.P., Davy. Jones' locker on top of those hoppers off the side of the ship
Suicide, didn't die from the dip. Submarine man, keep your eyes on the blips
Sonar, echolocation, and where we are facin'
Get back to our nation, oh Lord
So we walkin' back to Africa
And I found a detour to the seashore
Yes, jumped off the deck
To leave footsteps on the depths of the sea floor, ayy

[Chorus]
My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white cause they bleached us light

So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night

So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, ayy

[Verse 2]

Yeah, uhh, dive with us, vibe with us
Imbibe with the tide
Sea salty cause it cry with us when we looked it in the eyes
Like how could you help her?
Poseidon apologized and said that I'm sorry, we're shelter
Y'all can live down here forever, drownin' and severed
From all your lungs and the lungs of your sons
Tell your daughters the water's a treasure
Summon the forest
Talkin' to trees like how could you be in the chorus
With something so horrid?
You became boards for the floors and the doors of the warships
Anthropomorphic, the forest returned with a match
Made from itself and said, "Burn us with that"
Then left again and came back with an axe
We can serve you as furniture or furnace us black, ayy

[Chorus]
My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, wow, wow

Walkin' on water, ayy

[Verse 3]
Yeah, shipwreck with us
Grab vessels, bring 'em down to the depths with us
Take ahold of the bow of the Jesus
And The Brigantine Sanderson and La Amistad
And The Henry of London and Elizabeth Fanny Butler
And The Hector and The Gree
The Baratoga and The Martha
Glorin, and The Corralline and The Brittany
The Molly, The Sloop, The Molican
The Boa Morte and The River Volta
The Lordboard, The Elisee, The Eagle
The Agent Coker and The Colorado

The Inbus, The Ferris, The Leons
The Navigator, and The Phoenix
Claytor, Muhgel, Dragon, Gray Way, Ruby
Caroline, Bark, and The Tiger Nanny of Carlington

The Mersey, The Inbe and The Little Napoleon
Rainbow Enterprise, The Katherine, Bristol
The Kambia, The Ann
The Adelaide Brookes and The Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

[Verse 4]
Yeah, uhh, rise with us
From out the sevens to the Heavens in the skies in us
Conversations with the constellations
While you navigate the haters, black baby alligator baiters
Supposed to do greater, with all of your alphas and betas
And minors and majors
You were so busy just tryin' to shine
You shoulda been tryin' to save us
Star said, "Excuse our behavior
We will be indebted to you for all of eternity
If you counseled your heart and forgave us
Remove all our favors from childrens of sailors and slavers
Repay you with acres
But here in the heavens where harvest is greater

A meager inheritance, pardon our arrogance
Those with Americans, guide them to places much safer, ayy"

[Chorus]
My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water
Wow, wow, walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ

Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, wow, wow
Walkin' on water, ayy

[Outro]
See, all that I have for you, forest
Are fire and math for you, stars
Fall off the flat for you, ocean
Sweeten the pie for you, seas
All that I have for you, forest
Are fire and math for you, stars
Fall off the flat for you, ocean
Sweeten the pie for you, seas
All that I have for you, forest
Are fire and math for you, stars
Fall off the flat for you, ocean

Sweeten the pie for you, seas
All that I have for you, forest
Are fire and math for you, stars
Fall off the flat for you, ocean
Sweeten the pie for you, seas
