The levee's gonna break, the water's so high And they're tryin' to make me move It's been rainin' 6 days and 14 nights I got way too much to lose
I built this house with my daddy's hands My first boy was born inside I promised my momma I would be a man I ain't leavin' here tonight
City's on fire Under water Mothers and fathers Sons and daughters
I am someone you know Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door I am someone you know River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go
I am someone you know
Hey listen now Dirty ass water, water everywhere And not a drop to drink I went to cast my vote but the poll was closed And then the city just started to sink
I wonder if they'll find us in a thousand years And say who let this go down The river rose up on a trillion tears And washed the poor folks out of town
City's on fire Under water Mothers and fathers Sons and daughters
I am someone you know Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door I am someone you know River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go
I am someone
I reached out my hand But you did not notice It's ok, I understand Lord knows these times are hard
Just know that I am here If you need assurance I have made my choice And the Lord will hear my voice
I am someone you know Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door I am someone you know River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go
I am someone you know Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door I am someone you know Spending all my money on the president's war
Freedom isn't free Especially when you're broke Take me by the hand I can't take it no more
Trying to get a job There ain't no jobs around Trying to feed my family On this change I found
There's the Govorner's house Looks so good on the hill You got to stand in line Got to get your fill
Swear I heard one man, one vote Sure as hell ain't all she wrote I got bills and they're all late I'm still waitin' on the state
