Tread Water

De La Soul

DOVE:



I was walking on the water when I saw a crocodile



He had daisies in his hat so I stopped him for a while



He delivered me a message a massage to soothe my stage



What it was was more then plug up dosage



More than DAISY age



Conversation drew a rule



Which the crowd will roar by millions



Mr. Crocodile said 'Dove you must look



For now the villains try to hold you underwater



But one thing we all must heed



Sony Walkmans keep us walking



De La Soul can help you breathe when you tread water'



As I walked along my journey,



I thought 'What have I just learned?'



In a flash I saw commotion



There was movement in these ferns



Silently the silence came, was it the end of my world?



I shouted out in fear, 'Who's there?'



'It's me,' said Mr. Squirrel



'I've searched for you all over, now you're found,



No time to waste. We must find the Preacher Man,



We must find the P.A. Mase. All my population's dying,



And we're all in tune to doom.



Like the Daisy, I need water



I need chesnuts to consume.'



'Mr. Squirrel,' I said, 'I'm sorry,



But the problem can't be solved



If there's no one here to help, and no one to get involved



Always look to the positive and never drop your head



For the water will engulf us if we do not dare to tread



So let's tread water'



POS:



Now one weary day I woke, my alarm said 'Plug time's up'



Filled my bath up with the water, gargled with my gargle cup



As I bathed I felt a presence, and I'm sort of ticklish



I looked down and then around and I heard,



'Hi! I'm Mr Fish. How do you do? As for me,



I'm in tip-top shape today, cause my water's clean
