Dehydration lyrics

[Intro: Mick Jenkins]

Sip!

[Verse 1: Mick Jenkins]

I've been drinking all this water

Piss ain't never been so clear, I'll be a martyr

Right in front yo' face make no mistake

I rolled the trees and took the truth right to the face

This ginger ale is for your daughter

Or your shorty or whatever

A shortage of clever, we coming up shorter than ever (tell 'em)

Electrical shortage, it's all in your circuit

I'm working like scissors and not less you sparking it better

We sparked the discussion

Spark 'to yo' light bulb, just call me Confucius, we're causing concussions

They're calling me conscious, a Jimminy Cricket

Unfortunate events, got me writing it like Lemony Snicket

Pearls of wisdom all in the pictures, depicted y'all niggas know how I roll it

Know that I'm focused, know that I know what I'm holding is golden

(Hurt Everybody) Southside nigga, seen a whole lot of shit

6-point stars and a whole lot of dope with a shooter that'll miss; that's a whole lot of bricks

The city that raised me, the people that taught me, the difference is crazy

It's all love though, know that I'ma share my light when your vision gets hazy

[Hook: TheMIND]

They killed Malcolm, they killed Martin and I'm a Spartan

And I'll be damned or they'll be blessed

If I die here (And I know you know)

I keep a pistol and the Bible if they try me

I ain't no killer but guarantee

That they'll see God here (I know you know)

I know that I'm wrong

But the Chi is all I've known (I know you know)

You could break my bones, they won't take my throne

This will always be my home

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]

I was on the back porch getting faded

Cup of ginger ale and them peanut butter loafers

Swear this lifestyle's so contagious

Swear I told myself that I'd never be a smoker

Fail, watch me inhale

Hotbox had a dumb nigga in jail

Cops start young niggas piled in the whip

Kings of the street, they was crowning the Vic

Bail was like five hundred, Renelle held me down

Never did pay her back

Second degrees and negligences

And apologies can't bring it all back, facts

We off that slim, got a little fifth of Jack

We off that feeling like Daniel

Pray for the niggas that's lying, they don't wanna see me dismantle

Put it on wax like a candle

Send it to the blogs, I can see the fear

Put it in your prayers, send it to your God

Niggas so flawed with the fraud if you act then the gat will applaud

Got a passion like Patrick I come off the block

Grinding 'til holes in my shoes like I'm running in Crocs

Don't slip I don't run in my socks

Time is money, I'm all out of clock

Nigga, wake up; wake up, my nigga, you're sleeping

I know that you thirsty, you ain't drinking water, my, nigga you're tweaking

And I'ma be right here in my spot

A little more free than I already got

Tripping off you cause you had your shot

Nigga, wake up

[Hook: TheMIND]

They killed Malcolm, they killed Martin and I'm a Spartan

And I'll be damned or they'll be blessed

If I die here (And I know you know)

I keep a pistol and the Bible if they try me

I ain't no killer but guarantee

That they'll see God here (I know you know)

I know that I'm wrong

But the Chi is all I've known (I know you know)

You could break my bones, they won't take my throne

This will always be my home
