Waterboy by Francis Arevalo

There’s that waterboy
Will he go and seize it?
Will he go explore?
Guess we’ll wait and see if
He gon’ chase his dreams?
Are they make believe ish?
I hope he knows that there’s more in store, yeah
There’s that waterboy
Will he go and seize it?
Will he go explore?
Guess we’ll wait and see if
He gon’ chase his dreams?
Are they make believe ish?
I hope he knows that there’s more in store, yeah

Now imagine this
A young Francis with talent for raps and this
Little knack for the language, he had the wit
He’s passionate, a path that he had to stick
He’s your waterboy, but he knows he’s wanting more
At the water store, rapping while mopping floors
At his day job, 6 days a week
Til it pays off, helping customers while replaying beats
But sooner or later, 10 years pass
Many jobs but he still finds his way back
He’s not leaving Vancity now, he’s committed
This is what he signed up for and isn’t quitting
People wonder what the hell he’s still doing here
Why’s he wasting his time, he should use a mirror
While he’s wondering where all of this is going then
All he knows: Cascade keeps holding him

There’s that waterboy
Will he go and seize it?
Will he go explore?
Guess we’ll wait and see if
He gon’ chase his dreams?
Are they make believe ish?
I hope he knows that there’s more in store, yeah
There’s that waterboy
Will he go and seize it?
Will he go explore?
Guess we’ll wait and see if
He gon’ chase his dreams?
Are they make believe ish?
I hope he knows that there’s more in store, yeah

Another day, another dollar bill
But I swear there’s a hole in my wallet still
Used to wanna cop a mill, if we’re talking real
I really used to want a deal, now I gotta deal
All I wanna build is life that can hold me
Sown so deep, growth moving slowly
Now all I wanna feel is light I can grow from
All I wanna feel’s the life that i’ve chosen
No one, knows of, the sacrifices I made just to rap the nicest
Kept crafting these raps with a passion, I just
Kept writing my past just to pass my crisis
Now i’m still here! know I’m never gonna leave this
Promise to be the kind of kuya to believe in
Keep dreaming, even on days that I wanna stop
I find my flow at the water shop

Won’t see if you never leave (leave)
So boy you better leave (leave)
Won't fly if you never try (try)
So boy you better try (try)
Won’t know if you never go (go)
So boy you better go, yeah
Now boy you better go, yeah
Now boy you better go

There’s that waterboy
Will he go and seize it?
Will he go explore?
Guess we’ll wait and see if
He gon’ chase his dreams?
Are they make believe ish?
I hope he knows that there’s more in store, yeah
There’s that waterboy
Will he go and seize it?
Will he go explore?
Guess we’ll wait and see if
He gon’ chase his dreams?
Are they make believe ish?
I hope he knows that there’s more in store, yeah
