Staying Afloat

[Verse 1]

Red bottoms to announce my arrival...

Click clicking on that blacked out tile

I see em looking so I smile, all the while

Thinking you know I know

That even you doubted I would ever make it

Baby eat your heart out, tell me can you take it

Going too hard tryna get right

I be having blue dreams, up all night

I'm, straight shuttin it down with my chin up

Heard so many times I should give up

Now they gonna talk shit more than ever

'Sum inside won't quit, I remember

[Chorus]

Knowing where the wind will blow is impossible

When you're still in the sky

You gotta just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Knowing where the river goes is impossible

When you're still in the water

Gotta just let it flow

...just let it flow

And an indestructible faith Imma make it

Oh, is what keeps me afloat

[Verse 2]

So you're going to school I'm assuming?

Uh, no, I spend full-time on my music

People get so scared when they hear that

Why can't I be young and independent?

Face it

I'm a fucking monster

Nothings gonna stop me

I will never falter

Say it like tinashe

Yes it's from zimbabwe

Better start to practice

You'll mention me all day one day...

Don't you see what's wrong with the system?

These are the rules, shut up and obey them

Brainwash the babies, teach them the same stuff

Limit their minds so we all stay in line, so

[Chorus]

Knowing where the wind will blow is impossible

When you're still in the sky

You gotta just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Knowing where the river goes is impossible

When you're still in the water

Gotta just let it flow

...just let it flow

And an indestructible faith Imma make it

Oh, is what keeps me afloat

[Post-Chorus]

I am floating yeah

I am floating yeah

I am floating... yeah

Tryna stay afloat but the river's so deep

Tryna stay afloat but the current's pulling me, oh

Tryna stay afloat as it drags me out to sea

Tryna stay afloat, better swim— gotta breathe, oh

Tryna stay afloat but the river's so deep

Tryna stay afloat but the current's pulling me, oh

Tryna stay afloat as it drags me out to sea

Tryna stay afloat, better swim— gotta breathe, oh

[Chorus]

Knowing where the wind will blow is impossible

When you're still in the sky

You gotta just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Just let it blow...

Knowing where the river goes is impossible

When you're still in the water

Gotta just let it flow

...just let it flow

And an indestructible faith Imma make it

Oh, is what keeps me afloat
