Drowning Lately

(album: Twenty One - 2021)

Ayy
I've been overthinking everything, tryna make some sense of it
Tryna be a better person, tryna not be pessimist
Do this cause I need to, I don't do this just for benefits
Battling myself I swear that I'm my own damn nemesis
I'm just tryna be the man, that you can count on baby
Way you pick me when I'm down, it's astounding baby
I'm just tryna be the man, that you can count on baby
I just need to clear my head, cause I've been drowning lately

Let me address it, all the problems I'm suppressing
Yeah I need to watch my drinking, yeah I need to watch my spending
Why the fuck do I do it so often, that's really the question
Maybe it's because it helps me when I'm struggling and stressing
It's a problem and it needs to stop, I need to learn my lesson
All the spending that I do, will prevent me from progression
All the drinking that I do, that shit just lead to aggression
And I seen it tear people apart, like my parent's wedding
Yeah, shoutout to my woman don't you know you everything to me
Put that ring right on you just to show you this no game to me
This music give me purpose, this is more than just the fame to me
I need to check myself before I become who I'd hate to be

I've been overthinking everything, tryna make some sense of it
Tryna be a better person, tryna not be pessimist
Do this cause I need to, I don't do this just for benefits
Battling myself I swear that I'm my own damn nemesis
I'm just tryna be the man, that you can count on baby
Way you pick me when I'm down, it's astounding baby
I'm just tryna be the man, that you can count on baby
I just need to clear my head, cause I've been drowning lately

I know, I know, I know, that it's gon' be alright
I know, I know, I know, that you gon' hold me tight
This life that we building together it's what I dreamed of
But you know them demons inside of me just won't ease up
I just gotta keep my head held high
Cause I know my shorty love me I can see it in her eyes, ayy
I just gotta keep my head held high
Cause when the darkness over yeah the sun gon' rise

I've been overthinking everything, tryna make some sense of it
Tryna be a better person, tryna not be pessimist
Do this cause I need to, I don't do this just for benefits
Battling myself I swear that I'm my own damn nemesis
I'm just tryna be the man, that you can count on baby
Way you pick me when I'm down, it's astounding baby
I'm just tryna be the man, that you can count on baby
I just need to clear my head, cause I've been drowning lately
