New Orleans

Murderer
Damager
Human life left alone to die
Murderer

There is a cost to pay us, the children of slaves
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
They killin' us for the money, yeah
Well, well, well, well
They killin' us just for the money

It's ridiculous to kill someone else for money
The criminals are wearing ties and cufflinks
They polish their shoes with fossil fuels
These criminals tell us lies with nothing
And follow our truths to light a fuse but spare the fools

There's a freedom in this water that they don't know, they won't know
There's a murder in the water that they don't know, they won't know
There's a jorney in this water that they won't know, and they won't go
There's a mystery of the water no one knows, no, we don't know
There's a history in the water that they don't shy, and they don't show
There's a history in this water that they don't show us, no, they don't show
There's a love down in, in the wild (...) flashing bone
And there's a compasion on this planet that no one knows about
No, they don't know
There's a mystery in the water, there's a downer out there in the water
There's a family lost under water here from centuries, centuries ago

Water, water
Can you hear me? Water
Water, water, water, to the water, supreme water
Given to the water, the water, oh, water, (...), in the water
Spirit, can't you hear my cries in the water?
(...) to the water
That's where whole my family in the water, in the water
I'm your daughter (...)
No water
Listen child
Listen child of (...)
It's just my nature (...)
