Holy water (my mama said)

That boy on the corner, he be sellin?fluff

Canî–­ tell him nothin,î–œause his life is tough

Gotta make a livin,?he be out all night

But the old folks say Betty raised that boy up right

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

Babies makin?babies, doin'deals in the street
Boyî–¬ got a deadline with a windin'sheet
His Baby-Mother, outta school, outta dreams

Caught up in soaps while little Malcolm screams

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

Sprinkle that boy with Holy Water, child

Everyone knows you canî–­ fight fire with fire!

Ashes to ashes, from cradle to grave

Drink Holy Water, that boy can sure be saved!
