The Water (Freestyle)

[Intro] Yeah, uh [Verse 1] I ain't tryna be fifty and full of regrets, swim in a pool of success Drowning in tears, facing my fears, still wonder what's next Image I gotta protect, Puma gon' send me the check How much a dollar cost if you gotta trade in your respect? Watching my words ever so careful in interviews Public butt breaking niggas sad that y'all get amused Modern day lynching just for a contract extension Well aware that this rap shit don't come with a pension And to be honest I'm not rich enough to state my opinions But does that make me a minion, or I'm just moving with caution? We gotta keep this enginе running but I deal with exhaustion I'm not cutting my losses, only dеaling with bosses There's certain line I don't cross 'em, I'm a artist, I draw them I'm struggling with my vices, I keep falling in all of 'em I'm at a crossroads and almost lost hope 'til I found 'em Grandma told me stay up out that water, boy, now I'm drowning [Interlude] Yeah Grandma told me, she told me stay up out that water Yeah Stay your ass up out that water, man I ain't listened, I ain't listened I should've Yah [Verse 2] Okay, here I go again I keep it in my written so of course I [?] Trust issues, NDA's sent to my therapist, it's partly embarrassing I wrote this in Paris, but damn a nigga so Maryland I'm staying true to my roots I'm really the truth and it's still people I'm proving it too, and that's okay A slow burner and fast learner, a cash earner I'm really them crackers' worst nightmare since Nat Turner I thought I told you before Battle-tested, stood tall, I never folded in war Hundreds I throw in the drawer My heart colder than yours My scars older than yours My hands hold the awards I fuck with Pharrell but I can't be fooled by allure Fly so high that I sore, Jim Jones had to endorse Strapped up at the airport with my jewels of course I don't have no remorse End up crashing the Porsche, life is a crash course [Outro] Yeah Life is, you gotta have your motherfuckin' seatbelt for this shit, man. You gotta be able to move and break and zoom, you hear me. Like me and my niggas, like we always got that shit in drive, never you know, in reverse. Never looking in the rearview mirror too much, just looking forward on what's ahead, you know, what's on side of you versus what's behind you, you feel me. You know what I'm saying. It's just another day in the life Yeah Ten thousand (Ten thousand) (Forty thousand) (Ten thousand)
