UNDERWATER

I think I'll let that shit breathe, 'cause it just sounds so beautiful
Ah

Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe
Like I'm underwater trying to reach (ah, ah)
For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (ah, ah)
It's like I'm trapped and I just can't seem to free myself

Standing in my own way, anytime I go there's a mile away
I find no way to stop myself and slow down
Running in my own pace, ain’t got no time to waste
I'm counting down all my days, I gotta let it go now
It's written all over my face, I'm spitting all over the place
I can't get a moment of break, I think I'm 'bout to break down
And I just might beat the brakes off of-
I'm close to the edge, I might just slip
I'm sick in the head and I know that shit
Too long since I seen the dead piss
Feel like Mos Def, I ain't hearing shit that my umi said
Been grieving ever since I found out that my homie dead
Told me hold my head, my crown is heavy
Got tears flowing like broken levees
In New Orleans tryna stay alive, by any means, these days, got a lot of enemies
Feeding off of my energy, lately, been channeling my energy
Tryna re-awaken my Kundalini
Know God talkin' to me through my dreams, I’m just tryna figure out what it means
Do I stick it out, or go a different route?
If I change course, will you come with me?
Heard they comin' for me
So I keep a piece to protect my peace
Gotta watch my six when I cross these streets
I ain’t no vegan, I ain't scared of no beef
Let’s cut straight to potatoes and meat
Mama was a DUS, so I gotta be (gotta be)
Please, don’t pull a demon out of me
I ain't ever been a trouble starter, I’m a troubleshooter
Bitch, please don't bother me
Got a lot of stress, please don’t be the reason I release it out of me
My head inside, but the block is hot
Red-dot, red-dot
I’m a top shotta with a switch, nigga
Start reflectin', what's the bigger picture
See my reflection when I depict ya
Broke nigga, no, I can't fix ya
What's six figures to a rich-
Who you mad at, me or yourself?
How contagious is your mental health?
Deep down you been swimming in doubt
See, you might be as good as Michael Phelps
On the low, this the lowest you felt
But your pride too high just to ask for help
See, you the problem, I figured you out
How I know? 'Cause I know myself

I ain't no perfect man, I'm just tryna do my best
I spend time searching for my way and I just went left
No one knows of the pain I'm carrying on my chest
And still I fight each day to let in my last breath

Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe (ah, ah)
Like I'm underwater trying to reach (ah, ah)
For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (ah, ah)
It's like I'm trapped and I can't seem to free myself (ah)
Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe (ah, ah)
Like I'm underwater trying to reach (ah, ah)
For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (ah, ah)
It's like I'm trapped and I can't seem to free myself (ah)

Yeah, you saved me from myself
Darling, come closer and catch me from falling
No one knows how bad I want it
Spent my whole life waiting for this moment
Yeah, you saved me from myself
Darling, come closer and catch me from falling
No one knows how bad I want it
Spent my whole life waiting for this moment
(Waiting for this moment)
(Waiting for this moment)
(For this moment)

Ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe

Coming up for air
In a whirlpool of despair
Swear, I face my fear
Keep growing in my life
God, I'm in deep water, no life jacket
Just tryna stay afloat
