Holy Water

[Verse 1] That boy on the corner, he be sellin' fluff Can't tell him nothin' 'cause his life is tough Gotta make a livin', he be out all night But the old folks say Betty raised that boy up right [Chorus] My mama said "Boy, you need some holy water" My mama said "Sprinkle that boy with holy water" My mama said "Come on, come on, drink some holy water" My mama said "Come on, come on, child, take the Lord with you" [Verse 2] Babies makin' babies, doin' deals in the street Boy's got a deadline with a windin' sheet, oh His baby-mother, outta school, outta dreams Caught up in soaps while little Malcolm screams [Chorus] My mama said "Boy, you need some holy water" My mama said "Sprinkle that boy with holy water" My mama said "Come on, child, drink some holy water" My mama said "Come on, come on, child, take the Lord with you" [Chorus] My mama said "Boy, you need some holy water" My mama said "Sprinkle that boy with holy water" My mama said "Come on, child, drink some holy water" My mama said "Come on, come on, child, take the Lord with you, child Take the Lord with you, child"
