Roach in the Water

Roach in the water
Roach in the water
Don't go tokin' with the sheriff's daughter
Yeah that's how he got taken away

Her papa came across the evidence
Now he don't get to see his friend's
Cause he spending all his time in the state penitentiary

It all began out of chance
Thursday afternoon
He saw her dance, just one glance
And he surely knew
So he worked up the heart to ask
If there's anything they could do
She said tomorrow night my place
And baby bring a big ol' doob

Well that was a sweet friday night
By her side, gazing at the stars
With the smoke their eyes and the music
In their hearts
She took him down to the water
And that's when the fire starts
The younguns started lovin
And left the roach swimming in the dark

Roach in the water
Roach in the water
Don't go tokin' with the sheriff's daughter
Yeah that's how he got taken away

Her papa came across the evidence
Now he don't get to see his friend's
Cause he spending all his time in the state penitentiary

Her papa came home early morning like he usually does
He was the sheriff of the town coming
from the night shift hor his morning cup
He stepped outside to sip his joe down by the water
And that's when he found the roach
left there by that boy and his daughter

So he marched right up and he woke her out of bed
Asking, "Girl, what is this?" and you should hear just what she said
She told him, "I'm sorry Daddy but I had never hung out with a dread.
It's that neighbor boy's fault, you should go blame him instead."

And that's when her daddy turned the knob from ten to twelve
This little lady's lies would make this boy's life a living hell
'cause now her papa was determined to get his ass in a jail cell
Just for sharing some sweet ganja with this beautiful young belle
