Steady On Lyrics

He did not survive, however he left behind traces

Of their life- still legible after a century

In the water, a notebook found seven-hundred and eighty feet from the

Stern, in the west debris field, belonged to a young third-class passenger

He was seventeen years-old; when you look at his belongings

You find schoolbooks- You can still see the writing in here, even

Though it's quite stained.He used a pencil, and the pencil has

Remained legible.Here, on this page

(My name is Rayn) He's writing his name, I guess

Practicing writing his name in the correct way

(This is, um) You begin to see, just, this young boy

Going third-class by himself, (Titanic Part Two) hoping to make a better

Life for himself, perhaps that's why this is such a heart-wrenching

Object, uh, because it's his last notations

He's finished with school, he throws his schoolbooks

Into this suitcase, and.That's

The last that we hear of him.Here, the impact

Is frozen in time.The investigation is still

Probing the data, hoping to learn more about how the bow

Reached the bottom (I'm just gonna speak my mind on this one)

And the fact that the bow is intact means that they can

Also examine the most iconic mystery of the Titanic

The iceberg impact

Music has become my life, I just flow and I go in

Go through and wonder why, tryna cope as I wrote this

My shoes not the same as Christ, my soul's never floatin

So I'm trapped inside (Boats on the ocean)

I might kill myself, soon as I finish this album

On the mic, I did it well, you might not get it, how come

Despite gettin' the wealth, I still feel like I have none

My mind, it isn't well, I guess we'll see the outcome

Intrusive thoughts come often, and they come on strong

Shoot myself or drop hits, I ain't talkin' songs

What I'm doin' doesn't stop it, but makin' music holds 'em off

Usually I feel I lost in the booth or caught in fog

And my doom, it isn't heavy, 'cause to it, I get used

Writing, re-reading letters, but staying silent in this tomb

Tonight, my speech is deadly, but violence isn't too

Bright, I been forgetting what I've been taught to do

I know I'm goin' down, I'm Titanic, so I try to hold it

(Steady On)

I know I'll likely drown, I'm Titanic, but I feel

(It'll never be the same)

Feel ice all in my veins, I'm freezin' but I keep it

(Steady On)

Nights I lie awake, sinkin' as I'm sleepin

(In the middle of a hard rain)

So many people around me, I lied, I said I won't go

But I think that I'll drown an' I'm terrified with no hope

Death, it seems to surround me, I might die tonight, that's no joke

But if they see that I'm down, see I'm only (On a slow boat)

Titanic purpose, but I think I'm goin' down

Once I hit the surface, I'll either freeze or I will drown

So I spit these verses, Rayn season in a drought

Once I leave this Earth, maybe they'll keep me still around

My brain? The darkest, thinkin' 'bout the death of me

Hi, I'm Rayn, an artist; Can't sleep, I will not rest in peace

'Cause I've trained the hardest, these dreams, I chase relentlessly

And I've stayed regardless- this sea, it is my destiny

I know I'm goin' down, okay, man, I accept it

I know I'm s'posed to drown, this game will leave you breathless

Before I go to break, I go to bow, rotatin' lines like Tetris

Am I famous? How 'bout now? Afraid, my name's a message

I know I'm goin' down, I'm Titanic, so I try to hold it

(Steady On)

I know I'll likely drown, I'm Titanic, but I feel

(It'll never be the same)

Feel ice all in my veins, I'm freezin' but I keep it

(Steady On)

Nights I lie awake, sinkin' as I'm sleepin

(In the middle of a hard rain)

To everybody watchin, I am just what you made

I stand atop my yacht and I am damned to fail or fame

Maybe I could stop it, maybe I could change my fate

But when it comes to options, I'm (Too late)

I fell in love with hip-hop, to the mic, I gave my lines

Forever stuck in this, but, my whole life, I gave you mine

Never wanted to ship off, but I may be denyin

'Cause the second that this shit stops is the night I face the light

But if I do, then that's my choice, I make my own decisions

This music is my voice, and as I go to open it

This huge ship, all the noise, I guess I'm codependent

'Cause if I lose it, my view destroyed, then it's my show to end an

Until then, it's Steady On, though I keep a heavy heart

Children, I'm forever strong, until the day I'm not

Millions, I don't ever stop, though, in truth, I never start

Bills sent, I'm already gone, the moment you end this song, yeah

Yeah

(Steady On)

Try to keep it together, keep everything Steady On, but the truth is

(It will never be the same)

All I can do.just

(Steady On)

Just do my best to hold it together, and, uh.I don't know

(I am gonna keep my head on straight)

For right now, at least
