High Water

(album: Pressure Point - 2020)

I got stress on my back, I got bills of my own
Friends don't get back to me, pick up the phone
Nobody's there when I'm swimming in the high water (yeah)
I been needing a place, I can hide from the drones
If you came looking well, nobody's home
I ran away and I'm swimming in the high water (yeah)

Make room for the getaway
I feel like I been in this bitch for 7 days
Pretty Sick and tired of fucking second place
Medicated and stressing for the Medicaid
But the people see me smiling at the show
Cuz I take what I got and make it the most
Cuz you only get one life and then you ghost
But I'm trying hard not to drop
Trying to run faster than the all the clocks but sometimes I need to stop and
Break down these fucking walls
Break up out of this place
Take no more of your calls
Find me high up in space
Let me just be me
Not have to act fake for it
Got spikes in my VC
But not enough to get paid for it
I got three deals on three wheels
2 clips for a free meal
4th down on a mean field
Fifth stone gets me killed
Everybody's been telling me to be thankful I'm still alive
I just want to tune all the static out so I'mma take me a dive

I got stress on my back, I got bills of my own
Friends don't get back to me, pick up the phone
Nobody's there when I'm swimming in the high water (yeah)
I been needing a place, I can hide from the drones
If you came looking well, nobody's home
I ran away and I'm swimming in the high water (yeah)

Make moves for the getaway
I feel like I just wanna up and levitate
Gave me lemons I tried to make some lemonade
But I fucked it up by adding in some remoulade what an escapade
And now I gotta go
Cuz I told y'all on my last joint y'all could float
But nobody wanna jump into the boat
And I'm trying to brave these rough seas
With a bad back and some buck knees
Now you acting like you give a fuck please
I thought it was one for all
You were out running for yourself
I was trying to get us to tomorrow
You were trying to just get some wealth
Everything has been about you taking life out my IV
And long as you could chase clout through getting all them likes on your IG
What a sad state I been swimming in
Now I feel like I'm seasick
Choking on an all the cinnamon
While trying to savor this sweet shit
Everybody's been telling me to be thankful I'm still alive
I just want to tune all the static out so I'mma take me a dive

I got stress on my back, I got bills of my own
Friends don't get back to me, pick up the phone
Nobody's there when I'm swimming in the high water (yeah)
I been needing a place, I can hide from the drones
If you came looking well, nobody's home
I ran away and I'm swimming in the high water (yeah)
