lyrics

Just take a second, pace yourself
What’s the rush for, calm yo self
Your mind is madness, dumb yourself
Complex thoughts in temptation storms
When courage thunders will you bolt like lightning
or stand and be striking
Everyday my mind is like this
And it’s frightening
But all day this is just me
A stressed out athlete, competing in the God games
What you see as normal, to me it’s a mountain
I drown in fountain, while you swim in ocean
While I’m begging for money, It takes me a year
Just to show you
I’m drowning in debt like...

And it feels like I’m drowning here lord, will you save me?
And my hands don’t reach the sky lord, so I’m drowning

I’m to grown to rap kid stuff
Don’t need beef to come eat up
You deal drugs? I never did that
You run streets, I never did that
You lucky, I’ve never been that
Radio, stereo, merry go, here we go
That’s a year you’ll never back
Everybody’s story is different
My story's fucking boring
No guns, no drugs, no sluts, all that
No ends, no gangs, no feds, all that
What’s eating me up?
Feels like I still got my wrist in a slipknot
Dragged along when I can’t cope

And it feels like I’m drowning here lord, will you save me?
And my hands don’t reach the sky lord, so I’m drowning

I’m sitting down, in bottom of slum
In bottle I slumped, 'til I’m full and full
But not full enough, full of regrets
I vomit remorse, poverty sucks
I do not endorse, I do not partake in showing off horse
These diamonds, ain’t cut
There’s blood in the stone, and I trace it

Back to the gun in the face, 'til they put you in your place
Now you running, rat race
Show off money
Show money
This is your money
This is show money
So show money
How you love money
How you love money
Until the crowd applaud
Now that’s more money
For sure

And it feels like I’m drowning here lord, will you save me?
And my hands don’t reach the sky lord, so I’m drowning
