Lyrics of Someone you know

The levee's gonna break, the water's so high
And they're trying to make me move
It's been raining 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 leaving here tonight

The city's on fire
Underwater
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 ass water, water everywhere
And not a drop to drink
I went to cast my vote but the polls were 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

The city's on fire (city's on fire)
Underwater (underwater)
Mothers and fathers (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 assurance
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 (i am someone, someone you know)
Especially when you're broke (i am someone, someone you know)
Take me by the hand (i am someone, someone you know)
I can't take it no more (i am someone, someone you know)
Trying to get a job (i am someone, someone you know)
There ain't no jobs around (i am someone, someone you know)
Trying to feed my family (i am someone, someone you know)
On this change i found (i am someone, someone you know)
There's the governor's house (i am someone, someone you know)
Looks so good on the hill
You got to stand in line (i am someone, someone you know)
Just to get your fill
Swear i heard, "one man, one vote" (i am someone, someone you know)
Sure as hell ain't all she wrote (i am someone, someone you know)
I got bills and they're all late (i am someone, someone you know)
I'm still waiting on the state (i am someone, someone you know)
Oh (i am someone, someone you know)
I am someone you know... (i am someone, someone you know...)
