Lyrics for Song: Underwater
Lyrics for Album: Fishscale [2006]
Yo, aiyo, I'm lost underwater, I see a pink dog with a crystal handle
So I keep swimmin', amazed that I'm not drownin'
Butterflies took control when I arrived
I opened the door, no, I knocked first
I'm not on my turf, I seen a ray of lights that resemble live fireworks
Some mermaids with Halle Berry haircuts flashin' they tail
Like follow me, now, don't be afraid
I'ma show you where all the jinns and spirits pray
If you scared to face this life, you shouldn't stay
So, I kept on swimmin', grabbed on to her fin to help me out
As we got close I seen the boat all shot up with his anchor out
Then she asked me politely what I'm thinkin' about
I said nuttin', she said nuttin' leaves nuttin'
If you fill me up, bet this'll bring that out
I seen rubies, diamonds, smothered under octopus
Jellyfish sharks soar, aquaproof pocketbook
Pearls on the mermaid girls
Gucci belts that they rock for no reason from a different world
Up ahead lies Noah's Ark but that's waves away
And way to the right, that's one of our bangin' spas
She quoted I took notice, Spongebob in the Bentley Coupe
Bangin' the Isleys, he slow backed up
Then he passed me swoop, seen his chick eyein' me hard
He got vexed and smacked his boo
Took off, continued my travels, seen a rock from the Titanic
Lookin' fat and, nah, it wasn't damaged
Then I seen somethin' real big, sky blue and gold
with white walls, behind a large city
That was lost before Christ walked the walk
Upon the waters that's so bright
Every time we got close the mermaid held on tight
All I heard was "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
Bismillah ar-Rahman, ar-Raheem", Allah screamed
That we heard from afar
Everyone salat and the world's banginest mosque got crowded in
With life that I can't explain
They said sir, yes, I'm glad you came
Greeted me with Qu'rans and Torahs
Prayed after that we said, "Amen"
