[00:00.19] (We get when we really ask for it)
[00:02.10] Dip me in the water
[00:02.74] (We get when we really ask for it)
[00:04.17] Dip me in the water
[00:08.47] I used to hustle with your grandmother
[00:10.39] Used to party 'fore you was even thumbsuckin'
[00:12.23] She lived out the sticks where you could get 'em by the dozens
[00:15.09] Get 'em off like nothin'
[00:16.78] Used to let me hold the door keys
[00:18.46] I usually kept a lil' somethin' like, "What you need?"
[00:20.64] Might crack you a piece like, "Hold that"
[00:22.44] That's that old-old foot-stompin', hand clap
[00:25.14] That dip me in the water (dip me in the water)
[00:26.78] Wash me clean, the water black (black)
[00:28.95] Dip me in the water
[00:30.20] Run between from corner to sink
[00:32.19] Every wrinkle seen, rinsed and steamed
[00:34.03] Starched and pressed crease, cut clean
[00:36.16] Say it with my chest, 99 steps
[00:38.41] Too late to tell, none for the one-time
[00:40.58] Wide be gates of hell, burnin' gas, standing still
[00:44.08] There's a way to crash, sleepwalkin' where the blade splits
[00:46.92] Razor's edge against leather grain
[00:48.87] Tan strap, silly gon' shave, mister (mister)
[00:52.21] It's the (it's the)
[00:53.25] Stride like Moko Jumbie, come see
[00:55.44] High as the tide rise, we used to be a country
[00:58.25] Wash me clean, too much I can't unsee
[01:00.97] Hungry, wild kipper by the fistful
[01:03.57] Beetroot for the ticker
[01:04.94] Might have to kill what I wish for
[01:06.97] No place, no place here for me
[01:09.38] Before I go under (under)
[01:10.88] Dip me in the water
[01:12.74] Dip me in the water
[01:14.64] Dip me in the water
[01:16.69] Dip me in the water
[01:18.97] Dip me in the water
[01:21.03] Dip me in the water
[01:23.28] Dip me in the water (I would like to bring up to the attention of the-)
[01:25.52] Dip me in the water
[01:27.56] Dip me in the water
[01:29.61] Get me in the water
[01:31.87] Dip me in the water (hell, yeah)
[01:34.04] Dip me in the water
[01:35.96] Dip me in the water
[01:38.16] Dip me in the water
[01:40.11] The river is the border, but border is the river
[01:42.49] Snipers watch me swim, 2.7 pounds of pressure on that trigger
[01:46.44] Gaugin' the wind through narrow eyes
[01:48.63] Three sisters over the cauldron
[01:50.48] Ode to autumn in a old notebook I'm leafin' through like Nas
[01:53.93] Didn't recognize my own hand at first
[01:55.84] Half surprises, still leaves on the trees
[01:57.95] I got half a mind to slide in the water, let it carry me out to sea
[02:01.84] The water gentle, the water deep
[02:04.20] Nobody speaks, certain things you just know in a dream
[02:07.09] The hum of the engine, the thrum of the seat
[02:08.90] Father lift me out the car, half-dead
[02:11.07] Carry me in to sleep
[02:12.37] That's still what love feel like to me
[02:14.53] Tryna hold it together, the picture can't keep
[02:17.65] Mosquito net had a small hole
[02:19.84] The moon floatin', the water so cold
[02:22.32] The sun rise and set 'til it don't
[02:24.98] Dip me in the water
[02:27.08] Dip me in the water
[02:29.21] Dip me in the water
[02:31.24] Dip me in the water
[02:33.40] Dip me in the water
[02:35.57] Dip me in the water
[02:37.36] Dip me in the water
[02:39.57] Dip me in the water (I would like to bring up to the attention of the-)
[02:44.88] Dip me in the water
[02:46.44] Dip me in the water
[02:48.00] Dip me in the water (hell, yeah)
