Head Above Water

(album: The $100 Mixtape - 2021)

In the kitchen and it's Taysty

Tryna keep my head above water, above water
Above water, above water, yeah
Tryna keep my head above water, above water
Above water, above water

Y'all would never understand the pressure that's accumulating on me
God gave it to me 'cause he knew that I could handle all these pussies hating on me
Paying all my mama's bills, I don't even think twice 'cause the money ain't good as the honor feels
I'ma let my haters shoot they own careers first, I know that karma kills
I've been touched by the grace of God
Even though the Devil at my front do' daily, tryna break him off
Demons in my inbox, they've been on the path I can't wait to cross
Had to learn how to take a loss, burn a bridge, cover it in frost
My heart numb from the years of people eyeing me and then making assumptions
When they've never been around my circumference
I ain't busy tryna judge another grown man
Your mind in need of reconstruction
Focused on my own team
I put the work in and end up triumphant
'Cause being the man of the house incumbent
And daddy left me in on my dick without a paddle up shit's creek
I made twenty-five this week
How could y'all hate on this?
I count up the blues, it add to my mystique
I'm treading waters that's a bit deep
But the tide's in my mind in sync
Social distance from the bullshit
Say you playing with mine, leave 'em six feet

'Cause they gon' mention my name, tryna keep up, but they can't hang
Took the long route to win, took some L's, but I ain't changed
I got this out the mud, won't be hearing me complain
But I've been through so much fucking pain

Tryna keep my head above water, above water
Above water, above water, yeah
Tryna keep my head above water, above water
Above water, above water
