Lyrics Upchurch – Sound On The Water

I ain’t here to sound on the water
I see the bird in the sky
I feel the sun getting hotter
But I just want to know that I’m still alive

Country slayin’ hip hop now you’re messin’ with men
If I was around five years ago, I’d probably be in the pen
‘Cause every motherfucker want to step out a miniature house
With some ‘roid ragin’ boys and a gun in your mouth
And now I shot you little bitches to go ’round for an hour
Yeah my pawpaw passed away and then the family lost the house
It was a struggle for the bills, I was hungry to survive
If it came down to it, I was jackin’ your ride
And I’d still do the the dirty work if it means stayin’ alive
‘Cause for bad or for worse I’m the one who provides
I don’t talk, I don’t tell, I don’t snitch, I just ride
These boys yellin’ outlaw thinkin’ they ride deep
Until I grab that big machete and go creep through the creek
I wish a motherfucker would beef with me for a week
Yeah come get Jeffrey Dahmered punk and disappear in the era-era trees

I ain’t here to sound on the water
I see the bird in the sky
I feel the sun getting hotter
But I just want to know that I’m still alive

Uh, many a night, I rode just to write
Spent years diggin’ in makin’ sure I didn’t sound alike
Now I’m on my delivery gettin’ dollar bills
Focusing my energy and tryin’ not to swallow pills
Yeah, I’m planted in prayer
Spent time in silence and realizin’ something’s there
So pretty please bring a diss track

I ain’t here to sound on the water
I see the bird in the sky
I feel the sun getting hotter
But I just want to know that I’m still alive
