These Waters

(album: so, what are you doing? - 2016)

I been drownin in these waters, I been
I been drownin in these waters, I been
I been drownin in these waters, I been
I been drownin in these waters
I been gaspin for breath, hand on my chest
Tryna feel my heart risin to the surface
I been drownin in these waters
Said I been drownin in these waters
Said I been drownin in these waters

But I think I'm bout to swim though
Waters all around me tryna drown me but I been soaked
Don't need no fans to dry me, just try me bitch, I been dope
You need to get your facts straight, you don't know what you info
Treadin water though I speak resilient
Drunk cause when you numb gets easier to face your feelings, word
And see it's easier to chase some millions than chase what's real
And I been tryna do the latter but I'm formally a mess, anxious and depressed
Short breath, heart poundin in my chest, vision vexed, just the curse of the complex But these waves don't define me, I can see underwater though these waves try to blind me
I was never comfortable in the ocean
I'm a city boy but been disturbin the peace since 2Chainz was Tity Boi
Cause I'd sink 'fore I'd go with the flow for calmness sake
This what it sounds like when water breaks, I'm reborn

I been swimmin in these waters, I been
I been swimmin in these waters, I been
I been swimmin in these waters, I been
I been swimmin in these waters
I been climbin towards the surface, I been startin to see a purpose
I been swimming for the shore cause now I'm sure that it's worth it
I been swimmin in these waters
Said I been swimmin in these waters

Keep your confidence through the roof
It's gettin kinda tricky feelin fishy in this scuba suit
I flex maneuvers through, no obstacle keeps me phased
Don't judge a man by his current but by the waves in his [?]
Hoppin out the deep my dungarees are soakin
Loathin these waters but soon enough was butterfly stroking
I'm turnin my ambitions to prophecy, damn, switchin up topics and then ya'll plans be tryna logically ban
Swashbucklin raiders are tryna fuck with me man
Cause I drew an X where my brain was buried under the sand
I bring the light into your treasure map, asshole
I'm prayin that these whitecaps don't wash away my castle
Was bashful, but now I pilot this ship
I raised a skull and crossbone mast and enemies split
Is that land I see peakin on horizon, sun risin?
What's a rainy day to a Poseidon?

I been walkin on these waters, I been
I been walkin on these waters, I been
I been walkin on these waters, I been
I been walkin on these waters
Said I been walkin on these waters
I been walkin on these waters
Said I been walkin on these waters
I been walkin on these waters
