"WAV Files by Lupe Fiasco"

[Verse 1]

Wade with us
baptize and convert to the waves with us
I tuned into what the future holds
I could never be a slave, niggas
They gon' have to pay me, Navy,
downloaded by the tidals like Jay-Z
That's a roll offshore like an A.P, Davy
Jones' locker on top of those hoppers off the side of the ship
Suicide, didn't die from the dip,
submarine, man, keep your eyes on the blips
Sonar, echolocation, and where we are facin',
get back to our nation,
oh Lord
So we walkin' back to Africa
and I found a detour to the seashore
Yes,
jumped off the deck,
to leave footsteps on the depths of the sea floor, ayy

[Chorus]

My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow,
walkin' on water,
wow, wow,
walkin' on water
Wow, wow!
walkin' on water,
wow, wow,
walkin' on water, ayy
My bones is where the beach is white
Where the beach is white, 'cause they bleached us light
So I'm goin' back home, I took a leap last night
So I'm walkin' on water 'til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Walkin' on water,
wow, wow
Walkin' on water,
wow, wow (yeah),
walkin' on water, ayy

[Verse 2]

Dive with us,
vibe with us
Imbibe with the tide,
sea salty 'cause it cry with us
When we looked it in the eyes,
like how could you help her?
Poseidon apologized and said that I'm sorry, we're shelter
Y'all can live down here forever, drownin' and severed
From all your lungs and the lungs of your sons
Tell your daughters the water's a treasure
Summon the forest,
talkin' the trees, like how could you be in the chorus
with something so horrid?
You became boards for the floors and the doors of the warships
Anthropomorphic,
the forest returned with a match
Made from itself and said, "Burn us with that"
Then left again and came back with an axe
We can serve you as furniture or furnace us black

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

Yeah, rise with us
From out the sevens to the Heavens in the skies in us
Conversations with the constellations
Why you never gave the haters
Black baby alligator baiters
Supposed to do greater,
with all of your alphas and betas
And minors and majors
You were so busy just tryin' to shine...
You shoulda been tryin' to save us.
Starset, excuse our behavior
We will be indebted to you for all of eternity
If you cancelled your heart and forgave us
Remove all our favors
From childrens of sailors and slavers
Repay you with acres
But here in the heavens where harvest is greater
A meager inheritance, pardon our arrogance
Those with Americans,
guide them to places much safer, ayy

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Seas, all that I have for you
Forest, fire and maps for you
Stars, fall off the flag for you
Sugar, sweeten the path for you
Seas, all that I have for you
Forest, are fire and maps for you
Stars, fall off the flag for you
Sugar, sweeten the path for you
Seas, all that I have for you
Forest, are fire and maps for you
Stars, fall off the flag for you
Sugar, sweeten the path for you
Seas, all that I have for you
Forest, are fire and maps for you
Stars, fall off the flag for you
Sugar, sweeten the path for you...
