Baptized In Muddy Waters

Pain I feel

You won't see in my eyes, no

I write it down on paper, and I

Let my fingers glide, oh

I'm tired of people

Pretending to know

Who I am, where I'm from

And where I'm bound to go, and

I'm tired of tryin'

And aimin' to please

So I'm gonna play my music

And bring these people to their knees

You know I'm baptized

In muddy water, baby

I have been baptized

In muddy water, baby

It's time we all listened up

To what one another has to say and

Open our eyes to these

Brand new kind of ways, well

It's time for an evolution, a revolution

Of making love not war, if we

We learned from our past mistakes and not

Do mistakes been done before

You know I'm baptized

In muddy water, baby

I have been baptized

In muddy water, baby, oh

Listen, my soul's on fire

Feel me as I burn hotter

That's what happens to a man

Who has been baptized

I have been baptized

In muddy water, baby

I said I'm baptized

In those muddy waters, baby

Uh, uh, uh
