Grandma, the water is risingMy boundless hair has gotten green

I′ll be your swimming forest island

Bid you walk safely, safely over me

Raised in the gutter, I ain't really had nothin′

No silver spoon, I was raised a rusty shovel

Granny used to tell me boy stay up outta trouble

But the hunger in my tummy had me stayin' on my hustle

When I'm livin′ in a bottle with my head all cloudy

Stomach rumbling like a thunderstorm up in Maui

Pray over me and I′m hoping that I make it

Like a last dollar in a slot machine in Las Vegas

Need good luck, stay trusting my gut

If they can't hold me down, then you hold me up

Trapped in the lies then, nobody I could trust

I′d give it all away before I give it all up

Now tell me have you ever ever ever in your life

Hear something wrong and you know it wasn't right

Now you′re up late night thinking that night

All along sorry, know it wasn't right

Same sense again, tell me would you think twice

I did that yesterday, put it on my life

Once a day passed, would a feelin′ never last

While I flick away my problems with the cigarette ash

Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep

Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak

Stayin′ up late, I could never ever sleep

Feelin′ all my hunger every time my belly speak

Grandma, the water is rising

My boundless hair has gotten green

I'll be your swimming forest island

Bid you walk safely, safely over me

Grandma, my sleep is narrow

Bid you bring me some strong drink

Strain out the pulps and set them close outside

For when my belly

For when my little belly speaks

Grandma, there′s air beneath my bed

And it whispers

And it whispers when I rest

Bid hem the skirts in salt and vinegar, vinegar

And hover closely

Hover closely under head

Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep

Feelin′ all my hunger every time my belly speak

Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep

Feelin′ all my hunger every time my belly speak

Grandma, I've been unruly

In my dreams

And with my speech

Drill little holes into my eyelids

That I might see you

That I might see you

Grandma, the water is rising

My boundless hair has gotten green

I'll be your swimming forest island

Bid you walk safely, safely over me
