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)
