The whole time had you by my side Color me blind, nice try Told every lie to lie the wool on my eyes Wool on my eyes My mama didn’t raise no fool, she done told me Watch out for the likes of you, and you must be Tripping if you thinking that I’m missing what is hidden You can’t chew what you bitten
Oh, you can drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Try to drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Put your hands around my neck Steal my last breath Drag me through the mud, but
I keep rising up (up, up, up) I keep rising up (up, up, up) I keep rising up, up I keep rising up
If you play me, you reap what you sow If you digging gold, hell no, you know My heart and my soul cannot be sold Cannot be sold My daddy didn’t raise me shy, he done told me Call ’em out when shit won’t fly, you won’t find me Sweating when you’re getting to be begging and I’m telling I ain’t buying what you selling
Oh, you can drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Try to drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Put your hands around my neck Steal my last breath Drag me through the mud, but
I keep rising up I keep rising up
I float down the river like a bird in a stream I fly if I want to or lay back and dream
Drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh
Oh, you can drown me in the devil’s water Whoa-whoa-oh Put your hands around my neck Steal my last breath Drag me through the mud, but
I keep rising up (up, up, up) I keep rising up (up, up, up) I keep rising up, up Keep rising up
