Underwater

Yeah Uh Feels like I'm tryna breathe underwater Like I can't go any farther I carry this weight on my shoulders, I never needed a spotter Every day getting stronger, and still I rise Flipping the page to the next chapter I'm feeling different lately, I'm willing to try Seeing it through, even though I been so fuckin stressed Thinking at this rate that I'll probably work myself to death But I just gotta keep the pressure on they fucking necks 'Cause I know I got it I never had a doubt about it Feeling my youth slipping away, I need to find the fountain Approaching 30 years old, another milestone So I know it's time to reevaluate all my surroundings Habits I have I'm checking the status I'm at I came a long way from sitting in class in the back Instead of paying attention, I was having a laugh Teachers said I wouldn't be shit, and now I'm stacking this cash Now I made it above the water Emerged from the darkest of places If people asked me back then if I thought I would make it I woulda told 'em they were crazy and scoffed in they faces Now I'm motivated for real To see just how it pans out, like I'm making a meal Focused on making a mil So I can ball on these bitches like I'm the Lakers' Shaquille, uh Breaking the boards Sub thumping, I'm making some noise If JackSounds up in this bitch, then I'm shaking the floor I put a lot of hours in to be paid and secure And now people supporting the music that were hating before Full circle I treat this beat like it's a full journal Once in a while, I might roll it up and pull purple But it's less than I used to, just like me seeing people Stay away 'cause I won't fake it when I disagree with people These are my raw thoughts making it onto the page I realized that my own mindset is what got in the way Holding me back Now I been in the mode to attack This is my destiny, and no one controls it but Jack So I had to go trimming the fat Can't have no dead weight If you don't get it now, the record's getting set straight I got my eyes on all green like I'm at Fenway And I been making headway 'Cause when it's not all sunshine and rainbows, those are the best days In deep thought, got me writing like an essay Thinking 'bout how I can elevate my net pay They tryna play the game like it's chess, well, this is a checkmate
