Lyrics

CHORUS

I’ve been trying to breathe under water.

I’ve been trying to hide ‘cause I’m scared.

Confusion which is bore from the order.

Cause it doesn’t mean so much in the end.

VERSE 1

Somebody call Aqua Man
‘cause I think I’m drownin’!

These problems I got
bout to hit rock bottom.

Be thinkin’ ill shit
to get through tomorrow.

Mouths to feed.
I’m tired of borrowin’.

Landlord raisin rent
seem like err Friday.

Be fuckin’ wit these bookers with ill intent…
irregardless.

Taken chances with my freedom
Hopin to get a pardon.

Cause no matter what
these bills comin’ like beans and fartin’.

CHORUS

I’ve been trying to breathe under water.

I’ve been trying to hide ‘cause I’m scared.

Confusion which is bore from the order.

Cause it doesn’t mean so much in the end.

VERSE 2

You know what?

I feel you.

Shits hard.

All these expectations.

Dreams and fascinations

Privilege verses discrimination.

Haters within your own pigmentation.

Indoctrination by segregation.

Having your own mind could get you involuntary penetration
via
mass incarceration.
——————
Somebody throw me a life raft.
the sharks are common!

Don’t leave me hangin’
like ole girl did
when the Titanic plummeted.

Hands tied behind my back
while standing on one leg.
Still reaching for my dreams
tryin’ to get paid.

Standing on the shoulders
of those who paved the way.

I’ma thought from a dream
that was envisioned
back in the day.

Breathing under water
is a metaphor we live with.
Is all relative
like kindred spirits.

CHORUS

I’ve been trying to breathe under water.

I’ve been trying to hide ‘cause I’m scared.

Confusion which is bore from the order.

Cause it doesn’t mean so much in the end.

I’ve been trying to breathe under water.

I’ve been trying to hide ‘cause I’m scared.

Confusion which is bore from the order.

Cause it doesn’t mean so much in the end.
