Brown Water Lyrics by Native Son

Metro Dread

2020

Mr. Officer-
Stepping on a black tile
Another number
Turn my whole day sour
I can't breathe
Feel like ripping my name out
I’m a cumber
Just another nigga
Could've been me
Stepping on a black tile
Another number
Turn my whole day sour
I can't breathe
Feel like ripping my name out
I’m a cumber
Just another nigga
Could've been me

Slow bleed
Like brown skin-
Hot brown butter
How clean
More brown sugar
Black hands on it-
Pour brown water
Slow bleed
Like brown skin-
Hot brown butter
How clean
More brown sugar
Black hands on it-
Pour brown water

Don't ask me to feel the same
I saw my black skin moving through a comma
Living in a melodrama
Oh-
I don't want to feel this way
But it's been my whole lifе
Big head full of trauma
Don't ask me to feel the samе
I saw my black skin moving through a comma
Living in a melodrama
Oh-
I don't want to feel this way
But it's been my whole life
Big head full of trauma

I done took the train to nowhere
Tryna’ find myself a reason
Boy I know that life is no fair-
Uh, still play it like a game
If everythings a gamble-
I’m done tryna play my cards right
Things change like seasons
Can't change your name

Slow bleed
Like brown skin-
Hot brown butter
How clean
More brown sugar
Black hands on it-
Pour brown water
Slow bleed
Like brown skin-
Hot brown butter
How clean
More brown sugar
Black hands on it-
Pour brown water
