Think I'll let that shit breathe, 'cause it just sounds so beautiful Ah, ah Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe Like I'm underwater tryin' 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 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 brakes off a tr- I'm close to the edge, 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 lotta 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 outta me (uh) I ain't never been a trouble starter, I'm a troubleshooter Bitch, please don't bother me Got a outta stress, please don't be the reason I release it outta 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?

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 I ain't no perfect man, I'm just tryna do my best I spent time searchin' for my way and I just went left No one knows of the pain I'm carryin' on my chest And still I fight each day 'til I take my last breath Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe (ah, ah) Like I'm underwater tryin' 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 tryin' 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) Yeah, you saved me from myself, darlin' Come closer and catch me from fallin' No one knows how bad I want it Spent my whole life waitin' for this moment Yeah, you saved me from myself, darlin' Come closer and catch me from fallin' No one knows how bad I want it Spent my whole life waitin' for this moment (Waitin' for this moment) (Waitin' for this moment) (For this moment) Ah, breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah, breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah, breathe Comin' up for air In a whirlpool of despair is where I face my fear Keep ruinin' my lifeboat, I'm in deep water, no life jacket Just tryna stay afloat
