T-Bone - To Da River Lyrics

feat. Lil Zane, Montell Jordan
Intro [T-Bone (Lil Zane)]
album- The Fighting Temptations Soundtrack

Ahh, for shiggity
Mr. Boney Bone Corleone, Lil Zane
And the one and only busta Javiggadink
(Lil Zane, ahh ahh)
Yo, holla at em Zane
Let em know how we do pimpin'

[Verse 1: Lil Zane]
Wasn't for him, I wouldn't be alive
Chastized for tellin' lies, since then baptized
Look in my eyes can you see the pain
Why does the sun shine when it rains
Hard times got me feelin' daddy never did a thang
I'm Gods chosen he put me in a Rolls and
Keeps my wrists frozen, never brown nosin'
Like an explosion, I cause a commotion
Spit the truth like a prophet, I talk to the ocean
People fear what they can't understand
I thank God that I can, I stay focused keepin' him in my plan
Never losin' my faith, haters gonna try to degrade
Gotta be in my state of mind or relate
Gotta know this is the end and ain't no time to waste
Time to face your fate and I pray you don't end up in a lake
Do whatever it take, so many mistakes we made
But we gon' all get it right once we down by the riverside

Chorus [Montell Jordan (T-Bone)]

Going down
(We going down to the river, take it to the river)
Going down, baby
(Yo, Yo, down to the river, take it to the river)
Going dow-ow-ow-own
I'm going down, baby
(We going down to the river)

[Verse 2: T-Bone]
I'm gonna lay down...
All of my glocks and automatics
I'm charismatic like crack addicts
Ya wreak havoc like road rages and bad traffic
It gets drastic but he's fantastic
And attracting, no more packin'
Now we're fastin', has no more passion
How can I get this life everlastin'
Sick of blastin' and dashin'
Flashin' like Charles Manson
He paid the ransom
Now I'm glory, halla-dancin' (ooohhhwee) like 'hallelujah
I'm flippin' and rippin' a couple-a lyrical sounds y'all never heard
Tryin to reach em partners that be on the corners flippin' birds
Forget the English spit rhymes para mi gente
Buster and Geovanni bringin' beats like Tito Fuentes
Salsa, merengue, ritmos calientes
Azucar sabrosa pa' ti y pa' mi

Headin' down to the riverside so I can let the old man die
When I come out of the water a new man fit to come alive
Revived with the Holy Ghost and tears in my eyes

Chorus [Montell Jordan (T-Bone)]

Going down
(We going down to the river, take it to the river)
Going down, baby
(Yo, down to the river, take it to the river)
Going dow-ow-ow-own
I'm going down, baby
(We going down to the river)

[T-Bone & Lil Zane]

We...So...Hot!
We...Don't...Stop!
We take it to the river
You know we go down, down
Cuz
We...So...Hot!

[Verse 3: T-Bone & Lil Zane]
[T] I'm sick of packin' all these nines, slayin' dimes
And smokin' on the marijuana
Chillin' with dirty mommas from Havana and the Bahamas
Plus demons tryin' to see me hot like I'm in the sauna
And I'm just tryin' to get ya loose kinda like Madonna
[Z] Everybody I know, tell em it's time to go
Me and T-Bone in a six fo' sittin' real low
Bout to roll to the riverside, put that liquor to the side
Ain't no need for gettin' high; stay alive, play it tight
[T] Plus...
El Shaddai, Elohim
Got me trippin' y'all
Never really letting down my burdens
Cause I don't want to be left and burning
Flirtin' with death and ain't promised my last breath
Dressed in prison blues, Holy Spirit got me under arrest
[Z] I used to be a thug, sold drugs, might assault ya
Stepped up in the church, got converted at the altar
And I don't fault ya, fell back and he caught ya
Out tryin' to false better live what he taught ya

[Chorus: Montell Jordan] + (T-Bone)
Going down
(We going down to the river, take it to the river)
Going down, baby
(Yo, down to the river, take it to the river)
Going dow-ow-ow-own
I'm going down, baby
(We going down to the river)

[T-Bone & Lil Zane]

We...So...Hot!
(Going down)
We...Don't...Stop!
(I'm going down, baby)
We take it to the river
You know we go down, down
Cuz
We...So...Hot!

We going down to the river, take it to the river
Yo, yo, down to the river, down to the river
