Water


I come from the southern heat filled with country accents

From a mom who worked hard now her back's bent

I've had an uncensored mind since adolescence

Seen the truth as a child I was learning lessons

Wash away the posessions and I'm just a scared young man

I got ideas and dreams with an indefinite plan

I try to influence others and show them what's good

But sometimes my mouth is dangerous and then I'm misunderstood

I'm want to be water to the masses

Pure and natural filling them with happiness

Behind the camera is just a local comedian

As soon as we talk the jokes began

Just your average american mister

Am I eligible even without a filter?
