Dirty Water Lyrics


I don't know where I'm coming from
Only know where I belong
There's dirty water in my bones
She, I know she will follow meBut she ain't got no sympa
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no moneyAlright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeahAt the age of eighteen
Came on the scene clean
Now I know what pains means
Spent time in the darkest places
Beautiful faces in the dark oasisTrying to take this to the full extent
Am I real heaven sent?
Clark Kent's my alter ego
Took that girl down to Puerto Rico
Now I find out that we're not amigosTreated her foul never as an equal

Now I'm all sad just because my ego
Had a golden key, couldn't find a key hole
Yo, stop let the beat rock
Conscious hip hop is gettin' droppedWake up saw B and the little one
Little son had b-phids done
Easy come, easy go
Everyone thinks they know
'Bout the thing, high unknownPut their thoughts on a throne
Then they name it G O D
Colonize, you and me
But I'm free in the sky
Me, myself, and I, wordI don't know where I'm coming from
Only know where I belong
There's dirty water in my bones
She, I know that she will follow meBut she ain't got no sympa
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no moneyAlright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeahI was walkin' down the mountainside
No matter what I did I couldn't hide
From all the things inside of me
Seems that I was living fantasySinging, oh, how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
This life I know is goneOh, how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
This girl I like is gone
And now I leave homeShe ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money

k-os (born Kevin Brereton on February 20, 1972 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer of Trinidadian descent. His real name may also be cited as Kheaven, a spelling he adopted later.

The alias "k-os" is pronounced "chaos" and is an acronym for "Knowledge of Self," although in a later interview he also said that it stands for "Kheaven's Original Sound." His music incorporates a wide variety of music genres including but not limited to rap, funk, rock, and reggae. The lyrics frequently focus on promoting a "positive message" while at times expressing criticism of mainstream hip hop culture's obsession with money, fame and glorification of violence. A musician as well as a producer, k-os has written and produced a large portion of all four of his albums. k-os usually performs with a live band, something that is uncommon in the hip hop genre. He sometimes plays guitar and keyboard both during live performances and in the studio.

k-os received his first musical exposure with the single "Musical Essence," released in 1993. After the release of his second single "Rise Like The Sun" in 1996 he withdrew from the industry because he was dissatisfied with his musical style. He reappeared briefly in 1999 and released his debut album Exit in 2002. The album received positive reviews but sold relatively few copies. He released his second album Joyful Rebellion in 2004, which received platinum status in Canada. Joyful Rebellion received positive reviews, but at times was criticized for speaking extensively on the state of hip hop. k-os's third album, Atlantis: Hymns for Disco, was released in 2006, and his fourth album entitled Yes! was released in April of 2009.
