Our story begins in a schoolyard 
A little girl skipping rope with her friends 
A tisket, a tasket, no lunch in her basket 
Just school books 4 the fight she would be in 
One day over this hoodie 
She got beat 4 some clothes and a rep 
With her chin up, she scolded "All y'all's molded 
When I'm rich, on your neck I will step" 
And step she did 2 the straight A's 
Then college, a master degree 
She hired the heifers that jumped her 
And made everyone of them work 4 free? 
No! Why? 
So what if my sisters are triflin'? 
They just don't know 
She said "Mama didn't tell'em what she told me 
'Girl, U need Pussy Control'" 

Don’t chase ghosts, don’t get too close,
Don’t get caught, don’t get spent
Don’t get bought
Don’t sell out, don’t get bent
Don’t fuck your best friend
If everything is just the way it should be 
Why am I why am I still hungry
Be like Water
Don’t be shy, don’t shut your eyes
Don’t get high 
Expand your Mind.
Don’t keep in touch, don’t touch yourself
Don’t ever want to be somebody else.
When everything is bad as it can be
Never be never be angry
Be like Water
Must be the answer you want
I’m not your slave 
I’m not the one who burnt you out 
Fucked you up and put you on 
Broke you down 
Ask someone else 
To be that someone
I can’t be that someone who can 
Be like Water
Why can’t I be the answer you want?
