UNDERWATER

[Intro]

Think I'll let that shit breathe 'cause it just sounds so beautiful

Ah, ah

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe

Like I'm underwater trying to reach (Ah, ah)

For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (Ah, ah)

It's like I'm trapped and I just can't seem to free myself

[Verse]

Standin' in my own way, anytime I go, there's a mile away

I find no way to stop myself or slow down

Runnin' at my own pace, ain't got no time to waste

I'm countin' down all my days, I gotta let it go now

It's written all over my face, I'm spinnin' all over the place

I can't get a moment or break, I think I'm 'bout to break down

And I just might beat the brakеs off a tr—

I'm close to the edgе, I might just slip

I'm sick in the head and I know that shit

Too long since I seen the dead piss

Feel like Mos Def, I ain't hearin' shit that my umi said

Been grievin' ever since I found out that my homie dead

Told me hold my head, my crown is heavy

Got tears flowin' like broken levees

In New Orleans tryna stay alive by any means

These days, got a lot of enemies

Feedin' off of my energy, lately, been channelin' my inner chi

Tryna reawaken my kundalini

Know God talkin' to me through my dreams

I'm just tryna figure out what it means

Do I stick it out or go a different route?

If I change course, will you come with me?

Heard they comin' for me

So I keep a piece to protect my peace

Gotta watch my six when I cross these streets

I ain't no vegan, I ain't scared of no beef

Let's cut straight to potatoes and meat (Uh)

Mama was a DUS, so I gotta be (Gotta be)

Please don't pull a demon out of me (Uh)

I ain't never been a trouble starter, I'm a troubleshooter

Bitch, please don't bother me

Got a lot of stress, please don't be the reason I release it out of me

My head is hot, but the block is hotter

Red dot, red dot, I'm a top shotta with a switch, nigga

Start reflectin', what's the bigger picture?

See my reflection when I depict ya

Broke nigga, no, I can't fix ya

What's six figures to a rich—

Who you mad at, me or yourself?

How contagious is your mental health?

Deep down, you been swimmin' in doubt

Shit, you might be as good as Michael Phelps

On the low, this the lowest you felt

But your pride too high just to ask for help

See, you the problem, I figured you out

How I know? 'Cause I know myself

[Bridge]

I ain't no perfect man, I'm just tryna do my best

I spent time searching for my way and I just went left

No one knows of the pain I'm carrying on my chest

And still I fight each day 'til I take my last breath

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe (Ah, ah)

Like I'm underwater trying to reach (Ah, ah)

For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (Ah, ah)

It's like I'm trapped and I can't seem to free myself (Ah)

Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe (Ah, ah)

Like I'm underwater trying to reach (Ah, ah)

For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (Ah, ah)

It's like I'm trapped and I can't seem to free myself (Ah)

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, you saved me from myself, darling

Come closer and catch me from falling

No one knows how bad I want it

Spent my whole life waiting for this moment

Yeah, you saved me from myself, darling

Come closer and catch me from falling

No one knows how bad I want it

Spent my whole life waiting for this moment

(Waiting for this moment)

(Waiting for this moment)

(For this moment)

[Bridge]

Ah

Breathe, ah, ah

Breathe, ah, ah

Breathe, ah, ah

Breathe, ah, ah

Breathe, ah, ah

Breathe

[Outro]

Coming up for air

In a whirlpool of despair is where I face my fear

Keep ruining my lifeboat, I'm in deep water, no life jacket

Just tryna stay afloat
