Get yo ass in the water and swim like me!
It was the 14th of April
When the news got around
The great ship Titanic was goin´ down
The captain was warned
She was runnin´ too fast
The ship hit the ice
With a helluva blast
Way down below
In the boiler room hole
The brother called Shine
Was shovelin´ coal
Shine felt the crash
He moved out fast
The ocean was risin´
Up to his ass
He ran to the captain
Said, “Cap’n, here´s the score
We´ve got 9 feet of water
On the boiler room floor“
The captain said,
“Shine, git on back down
We´ve got 48 pumps
Yo ass ain´t gonna drown“
Iceberg dead ahead
That´s what the warning read
Increase the speed
The captain said
The ship was sinkin´
The passengers freakin´
The scene was manic
Goodbye Titanic
Shine says,
“Your bullshit is good and
Your bullshit is fine
But this is one time
You ain´t bullshitin´ Shine“
Shine jumped in the ocean
A swimmin´ fool
For a propeller
He was usin´ his tool
A Big Man from Wall Street
Ran up on the deck
Screamin´ and crying
And wavin´ a check
He hollered,
“Shine, you´ve got to save poor me
I´ll make you as rich as any black man can be“
Shine said,
“Your money ain´t nothin´ down here in the sea
Get yo ass in the water and swim like me
Iceberg dead ahead
That´s what the warning read
Increase the speed the Captain said.
The ship was sinking, the passengers freaking
The scene was manic, goodbye Titanic.
Up leaped a shark
said, “you’d better swim fast.
I’ve got a mouth full of teeth
for the back of yo ass!“
A millionaire sweetheart
Was jumpin´ up on the deck
Her panties ´round her knees
Her skirt ´round her neck
She said,
“Shine, honey, don´t forget about me
I´ll give you more lovin´ than you´ll ever see“
Shine said,
“You´re fine and you´re freaky
But it´s time to flee
Get yo ass in the water and swim like me
A whale shot up and said, “Your stroking fine.
Miss one stroke and your booty is mine.“
The captain yelled,
“Save me, Shine
I´m so scared I could pee“
Shine said,
“Get yo ass in the water and swim like me“
Iceberg dead ahead
That´s what the warning read
Increase the speed
The captain said
The ship was sinkin´
The passengers freakin´
The scene was manic
Goodbye Titanic
Iceberg dead ahead
That´s what the warning read
Increase the speed
The captain said
The ship was sinkin´
The passengers freakin´
The scene was manic
Goodbye Titanic
Shine swam like a champ
Till he hit New York Town
He spread it all around
That the Titanic was down.
The people asked Shine,
“How do you know?“
“Cus I left that sucka 60 minutes ago“
When word got around
The Titanic had sunk
Shine was on Broadway
As drunk as a skunk
Thousands died
When the ship went down
The crowd asked Shine
“Why didn´t you drown?“
Shine said “I don’t have no money
and never went to school
but for stayin alive I’m nobody’s fool.
Rich folks call me Shine
But those fishes know my name
I´m a streak of lightnin´
And swimmin is my game“
“I told all those big shots
Prayin´ on their knees
Get yo asses in the water and you can swim like me“
Iceberg dead ahead
That´s what the warning read
Increase the speed
The captain said
The ship was sinkin´
The passengers freakin´
The scene was manic
Goodbye Titanic
