The levee's gonna break, the water's so high
And they're tryin' to make me move
it's been rainin' 6 days and 14 nights

I got way too much to lose

I built this house with my daddy's hands

My first boy was born inside
I promised my momma I would be a man
I ain't leavin' here tonight


City's on fire
Under water

Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters


I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know

River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone you know


Hey listen now
Dirty $$# water, water everywhere

And not a drop to drink
I went to cast my vote but the poll was closed
And then the city just started to sink


I wonder if they'll find us in a thousand years
And say who let this go down

The river rose up on a trillion tears
And washed the poor folks out of town


City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers

Sons and daughters

I am someone you know

Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go


I am someone


I reached out my hand
But you did not notice
it's ok, I understand

Lord knows these times are hard

Just know that I am here

If you need $$#urance
I have made my choice
And the Lord will hear my voice


I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door

I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go


I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know

Spending all my money on the president's war

Freedom isn't free

Especially when you're broke
Take me by the hand
I can't take it no more


Trying to get a job
There ain't no jobs around

Trying to feed my family
On this change I found


There's the Govorner's house
Looks so good on the hill
You got to stand in line
Got to get your fill


Swear I heard one man, one vote
Sure as hell ain't all she wrote
I got bills and they're all late
I'm still waitin' on the state


Oooooh
I am someone you know
