Speech Debelle – Fish Tea lyrics

You see this fish? this a snapper
The fish I made here, use traps and catch him
Sometime rough, rough weather come
And take away the trap with the fish in it
And this fish will live in this trap
And the trap will catch other fish
And feed him until he grows big
And the trap get weak
And one day, him just wriggle
Well, it's just so, you must know!

Big fish, big fried snapper
This aint just bars, this ain't just a beat
This ain't just a cage, this ain't just a beach
This is how we harvest, this is how we eat
The race ain't for the swift, but those who can endure
And generally speaking, the power's in the poor
From pineal to the floor, they blossom to the soil
The earth to the oil, no wonder they call us crude, so
Let the spring showers wash away your doubts
We are made for the earth like words are made for the mouth
Like keys are made for the house, like keys made from the ounce
Like keys making the sound, we kiki then we bounce
We easy with it, all the gold, we’re gonna leave with it
Let them easy with it
Only the real illuminate so let the lunar moon in June fully illuminate the place
Not even a reason to question what we’re serving on the plate

Big fish, whoa, whoa, whoa
We are big fish, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are big fish, oh no, we won’t fit inside your cage
Fit, fit inside your cage
Big fish, whoa, whoa, whoa
We are big fish, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are big fish, no, no, we won’t fit inside your cage
Fit, fit inside your cage

Ring the alarm, I think I got a plan
I got some roast pork spun in the back of the bully van
Ting a-ling, a-ling, school bell a-ring
Come use your knife and fork and fight for this ting
I got a call from the spirits, homie
I hear the greatest love ain’t crack, Whitney
Loving yourself is the one true act, homie
I said goddamn, I better get the app homie
But it come in like the monkey love my back, homie
They said that’s melanin, you got a lot of black, homie
Let it tweak through the spinal tap in your back homie
I said who is this, they said this is Tupac homie, you hear me
Hey, to who much is given much is tested
I had sacrifice my lack of pride and broken spirit
Take back my power from the parasites and pillages
Go where the people is and let us feast amongst the fish with all the villagers

Big fish, whoa, whoa, whoa
We are big fish, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are big fish, oh no, we won’t fit inside your cage
Fit, fit inside your cage
Big fish, whoa, whoa, whoa
We are big fish, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are big fish, no, no, we won’t fit inside your cage
Fit, fit inside your cage

Wriggle
Well, it's just so, you must know
Wriggle
Well, it's just so, you must know
Them just wriggle
Well, it's just so, you must know
