Rough Waters - Bizzy Crook, Michael Francis

Good evening

Politicians from several states tonight are sharply criticizing President

Carter’s handling of the Cuban refugee problem

The governor of Texas, Bill Clemens, says the president has literally opened

the floodgates.

Placing no limitations on the number of Cubans entering the

United States

Smooth sailin' thru the rough waters, need a tune up

My mind is like a map of anything I’m in pursuit of

And dreams is like a teardrop in the ocean where we grew up

But I knew that I would make it, my father made it from Cuba

My said mama fear the water

Sick of living in the eye

So she wanted her son to be a doctor

I shoulda listened mama

I finally get it mama

Cuz Dr. Dre just make 3 billion dollas

The real roots are growin' back

For the rose who had a dream but let him go like Jack

In the same water where my daddy took a boat

Cuz they might have took his freedom

But they couldn’t take his hope

And with that in my family tree

The is bout to grow

And who knew the young boy would blossom to a Derek Rose

Seein' cribs in the hills like how the fuck we gettin' those

Now I’m lookin' out below from this LA summer home

Got snakes in the garden waitin' by the garden hose

So I keep my apple tree seeds planted far from those

It feel like last winter we was talkin' bout these goals

How the table bout to drop, how the boy about to blow

Then it happened like we said it, that’s exactly how it go

Underground like parking but I drove up in the Rove

Feds, cut em' off like some hoes

And motherfuck limits cuz they all self imposed

These rappers not even tryin'

They livin' in fear, get the fuck off Shutter Island

You tryna see the future, shut your mothafuckin' eyelids

Or don’t be mad at me cuz I did

You said I don’t wanna be nothin'

You said I don’t wanna be around

Mama said believe somethin'

Even when you start to drown

Swimin' thru rough waters

Rough waters

Rough waters

You swam thru rough waters

Rough times and

Rough waters

Yeah yeah

I just wanna make it like my parents made it

And I was born here, that’s how I know I’ll be the greatest

Sky blue coupe, red eye flight to Vegas

You ever try to get a room key fuckin' faded

I’m puttin' on until all my niggas activated

They tellin' stories but all that shit is fabricated

Before the tour, they wasn’t ever showin' love

And I ain’t got no newborn, I’m just the most congratulated

I know when niggas really on

Hatin' on the youngest nigga tryna put the city on

I know a couple niggas that would love to see you gone

Imma see the dream forever like Christina Milian

My mind goes where time goes

And my heart is in another fuckin' time zone

Ice cold champagne, like nigga what if time froze

Nigga what if we could find those one hoes

That we seen one time, and could fuck one time

I wish I never fucked that one time

Please don’t remind me, please don’t remind me

That one time I had to lose you just to find me

These girls like labels, flyin' in just to find me

But I ain’t givin' in to they pain like the 90's

I been learnin' new shit, gettin' in tune with shit

I’m on some fuck provin' shit and start doin' shit

Just told my city 30 shows and some music shit

The only curse in heaven is the thoughts of losin' it

Then I snap out, as I’m drivin' in the yacht

Across the ocean of doubt

You said I don’t wanna be nothin'

You said I don’t wanna be around

Mama said believe somethin'

Even when you start to drown

Swimin' thru rough waters

Rough waters

Rough waters

You swam thru rough waters

Rough times and

Rough waters

Yeah yeah
