Anderson .Paak - The Waters Lyrics
[Intro:]
Yes lord, yeah
[Verse 1 - Anderson.Paak:]
Tried to tell niggas, in 2012, nigga
Volume one was too heavy for you frail niggas
So I got leaned like codeine and pills
It's the visionary, in the vintage Chevy
It's been a while but wow you still care
Free Nash 'til the pass out obituaries
In bold caps, "your bitch-ass was not there"
And I can do anything but move backwards
The hardest thing is to keep from being distracted
My big sister still claim me on them taxes
Tell Uncle Sam I just need a second to add this
And she packed and went to Chumash with it
Could triple the worth and give me half of it
Half of it I took in the back of the air mattress
A quarter stash was stashed in a box with the Air Maxs'
The rest got lost in Saks with my wifey, no BM
Whack niggas dropping links in my DM
Bad bitches up and down a nigga TL
I'm glad that you finally made it to the future but you're late
And the price is through the muthafuckin' roof
If you want you could wait outside the building
I ain't takin' no more meetings
[Chorus - BJ the Chicago Kid:]
Stepped in the waters
The water was cold
Chi in my body
But not in my soul
[Verse 2 - Anderson.Paak:]
I bring you greetings from the first church of Boom Baptists
United Fellowship of Free Nationals
Residing pastor is thy.Paak
And the first lady is a bad bitch
With slanted eyelids and thick asses
Sunglasses, Martin Luther King fan for you bitch niggas
Sweating on my Patent Leathers
Pressure turned their feather weight into a Cinderella
I ain't seen the ground in days since I grew propellers
We'll do one better
Word to the liquor that killed my grandpa liver
I know you finally look proud, a nigga smiling
To every hundred niggas that came and gone missing
Only a handful will go the distance
I swear I seen this shit coming as if I was living up under the plumbing
While niggas was riffing and mumbling 'bout, what they could do
I was cooking gumbo whipping the voodoo
I was in the jungle running with Zulu's
We was looking past the struggle while life was moving so fast
You had to be shopping at Ginsu
To the top of the food group
Doing what I want and how I should too
[Chorus - BJ the Chicago Kid:]
Stepped in the waters
The water was cold
Chi in my body
But it didn't touch my soul
Stepped in the waters
The water was cold
Chi in my body
But it didn't touch my soul
[Outro:]
Ladies in gentlemen, the most fantastic day in history
Would you boys mind explaining the cause
Of what made this great park go underneath this hood
Take a look at this

Anderson .Paak The Waters Comments
Cé é louco o bagulho é paulada atraz de paulada no flow desse mano , ta é de parabéns
Produced by Madlib
Classic....😎
You would think Madlib shows up in the recommended list
This is gonna quickly become a fav for me
Tainted love sample aghhhh one of my favs
Sad I’m just now hearing this.
Lord forgive me for I have sinned.
This will go down as one of the best hip hop albums of all time. And the best album of 2016. @ me bitch I got time to argue! #Paak
I love the way the bass guitar rides the beat. Gives it that FUNK!!
I would have enjoyed Kendrick on this joint instead of tints
“ I'm glad that you finally made it to the future but you're late
And the price is through the muthafuckin' roof
If you want you could wait outside the building
I ain't takin' no more meetings “
2:17 that part 🔥🔥
I was in the jungle runnin with Zulu 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The chorus is from an old gospel song.
the madlib playing some j d groove over here, pure gold.
No disrespect to BJ but Bilal would have murdered this. Anderson and Bilal collab please!!
Dilla/Kev Brownish beat, with New Bilal Stee....He can flow tho...Nice bass bouncin track...im feelin it
Yes lord, yeah
I tried to tell niggas, in twenty twelve nigga
Working hand to hand and no avail
Volume one was too hippy for you frail niggas
So I got leaned like codeine and pills
It's the visionary, in the vintage Chevy
It's been a while but while you still care
Free Nash 'til the pass out obituaries
In bold caps, "your bitch-ass was not there"
And I can do anything but move backwards
The hardest thing is to keep from being distracted
My big sister still cling to me on the taxes
Tell Uncle Sam I just need a second to add this
Gave my momma ten racks
And she packed and went to Chumash with it
Could triple the worth and give me half of it
Half of it I took in the back of the air mattress
A quarter stash was stashed in a box with the Air Maxs'
The rest got lost in Saks with my wifey, no BM
Wack niggas dropping links in my DM
Bad bitches up and down a nigga TM
I'm glad that you finally made it to the future but you're late
And the price is through the muthafuckin' roof
If you want you could wait outside the building
I ain't takin' no more meetings
Stepped in the waters
The water was cold
Chi in my body
But not in my soul
I bring you greetings from the first church of Goon Baptists
United Fellowship of Free Nationals
Residing pastor is thy .Paak
And the first lady is a bad bitch
With slanted eyelids and sick hashish
Sunglasses, Martin Luther King fan for you bitch niggas
Sweating on my Patent Leathers
Pressure turned their feather weight into a Cinderella
I ain't seen the ground in days since I grew propellers
We'll do one better
Word to the liquor that killed my grandpa liver
I know you finally look proud, a nigga smiling
To every hundred niggas that came and gone missing
Only a handful will go the distance
I swear I seen this shit coming as if I was living up under the plumbing
While niggas was riffing and mumbling 'bout, what they could do

We was looking past the struggle while life was moving so fast
You had to be shopping at Ginsu
To the top of the food group
Doing what I want and how I should too
Stepped in the waters
The water was cold
Chi in my body
But it didn't touch my soul
Stepped in the waters
The water was cold
_fuego_
do anyone have instrumental??!!!!
Those background vocals. Just such a nice layer to song. Really compliments Paak's flow on this one. Incredible track.
Thank you to my Uber driver who brought me here (coincidently he looked a lot like Anderson .Paak with locs...would be nice to see him again...) Anyway absolute BEST music suggested to me in 2019 so far. Can't wait for the concert.
who's listening in 2019?????????
These 2 artitists the TRUTH
About 300 people who disliked this, dont know, or dont have soul.
Borring!
Smh 🤦🏽♂️
THIS RESTORED MY FAITH IN MUSIC!!! BEING 40 YEARS OLD!!! THANK YOU
Never knew Madlib produced this, man. I'd announce an album with Paak and Madlib asap, maybe even powder in some supervillain as well.
Song starts of like straight Maxwell, i love it
Bilal Vibes..........
People disliking this... 🤭 you for real?
2018 December 1st still dope af

Sounding like diangelo
Sebastian Stan😍😍😍
Still fire in late 2018
fresh flow n dope beat. Why haven't I heard this befoe???
d angelo j dilla vibe
The Bassline sounds a little bit like the one from GTA 5 Intro
"It's the visionary in the vintage chevy" Reminds me of the Charlotte, NC show August 2017
2k18 first time finding out bout this dude yikes
Chilled my body but not my Soul
Under..... rated.....
“It’s the visionary in the vintage Chevy”
That’s a classic line
Imagine if you met Dilla ..it would be the perfect marriage of styles

2:22 - 2:35
I love this part. Great Soulful Vocal Arrangement. Reminds me of that D Angelo vibe from the Voodoo Album I! So much love for Anderson Paak from Cologne Germany.
This one of the best songs ever!
Meeeeeeaaaaaan
As a South African hearing this song is too dope
One thing though....we don't live in JUNGLES, do we?
But that was a bar
this one aint bout fucking bitches
2:05 "I was in the jungle running with Zulus" so proud to be a Zulu right now... NANS' INGONYAMA BAKITHI BO
You pump my blood
The best off the 2016 xxl cover hands down
Wtf have i been. This dude's amazing he like Kendrick lamar, Deangelo, slum village love child. Loving the vibe
I'm sick of seeing comments saying he sounds like kendrick. Fuck out of here with that bs
MADLIB!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
this singing ass motherfucker raps better that nearly everyone
My soul smiled when I heard this song for the first time!
Stepped in the water; the water was cold. Chilled my body, but not my soul...
Closest I could get to BJ probably. Anyways...
Babe can you empathize with me at least? It feels weird...when that thing in your chest that you tried to suppress for the sake of others was real the whole time...you know?
This sound more like Bilal singing the hook other than BJ the Chicago Kid.
Thumps up who is still listening on this 👌👌 the waters Baby
$$$$$$$$$$
Who knew this guy when he was Breezy Lovejoy?
ahh <3
Stepped into the waters, and now i'm drowning in Dope!!!
Still Bumping... May 31st 2017 AYEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Getting some Solange vibes from the instrumental, especially.. anyways a dreamy track
I love them this was a good colab
Welcome to my repeat jams A.Dot.
You're voice sounds like a well aged, classy, smooth Bourbon: drink in portions, save it for special moments and let it take over :)
SLB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
viva ao SLB!!!! SLB SEMPRE!!!!!!
Please pardon me Mr. .Paak, you are a genius songwriter. Thank you for this album I bought from iTunes \m/
Never would've guessed madlib produced this, but I definitely hear it in the bass, all of the baselines in his beats sound a certain way, like a vibrating sound
he uses timestretch to give it that effect.
man this album is so good!!! I'm still listening to it a year later.
bassline remind me "talib kweli & hi tek - the blast"
dope he killed dre album to
