This Water Lyrics

People keep on asking me, like, oh, you sure this what you want to do, are you sure this

You sure that

Yeah, I know

I know what I want to do

Of course, I'm sure

People acting like it's just so hard, and it's just so straining

Like, all you got to do is stay consistent

All you got to do is keep on doing it

Like, that's it

Like, you just got to keep doing it, and then it's going to pay off

Like, of course, man

Like, these people crazy, dude

They just acting like it's just the most hardest thing in the world

No matter how it come man, I just want it

I'm just now getting to bed it's 8 o'clock up in the morning

I been up all night writing facing a multitude of torment

I don't feel the fire burning try to light it's unresponsive

Start to wonder if I'm dumb because

I got up out my comfort and stepped right off in this jungle

With these lions, tigers, bears, it rain and Thunder

Difficult to conquer suppose to be a dream

Instead I'm woke up from the slumber

With this love that I have didn't know it'd be this bad

I expect to see results when I'm busting my ass

Guess I wasn't truly in touch with the fact

This a roller coaster ride it goes up then it's back

Down questioning if I'm stuck in a trap

And is it really worth all the hurt it attracts

What a scary game I'm disturbed to the max

Where the fortune and fame I'm deserving of that

Not that entitled I'm just in a spiral

Feeling like a load of clothes in this vicious cycle

Really how far can I go before I throw the towel

Hard to see this being over up on a high note

I always looked at my idols wishing

I can be just like em

Never did I think about the road before they earned the title

Thought I would just come explode

Walking with a blind fold on a tight rope

Things alright though then here comes the trials

Like surprise

Oh, you think you fly

Sure you got the drive

Say you want the prize

Okay, then tell me why

Because you spit that fire

You still not qualified

That's not going to satisfy

They still going to criticize

Wipe them tears from your eyes

No where to run and hide

Got to push to survive

It was your choice to try

Boy you better pay attention when you dive

Up in this water, up in this water, never easy, it gets harder

Up in this water, up in this water, careful when you up in this water

Up in this water, up in this water, gonna have to think a little smarter

Up in this water, up in this water, when you up in this water

Up in this water, up in this water, never easy, it gets harder

Up in this water, up in this water

Have you thinking, why did I start this, why did I start this, why did I start this

When so many want to be artists

Up in this water, up in this water, hard when you up in this water

Up in this water

Expect your family to support, your cousin bumpin' everybody, music but

Yours

And your momma telling you to go to college, take a course

No opinion from your dad because he been walked out the door

Your girlfriend left you cause she said she wanted more

Now your confidence drained all the way down to the floor

Then doing, what you love suddenly turned to a chore, pressure built up in your head, literally

Can feel the force

So now you wanna up and try to quit now

That so called hard work its gonna end now

Same goals but you decide to put the pen down

Wanna be rich, cook up to get a mill out

You act like that you so hardcore, cut from a thick cloth, you just all talk

Boy, so just shut your big mouth, this game will chew you up and spit you out before you

can count to ten

Can't swim, then I guarantee you will drown

Nose deep in the trenches, no solid future to be content with

You droppin' songs, don't nobody listen

All you hear is crickets, they say they must've missed it

Went to the studio and dropped your best verse

They sat there with a plain face and never said a word

Somebody came whack and it's the best they ever heard

They always get encouraged, you know that it's absurd

Pretending to be unbothered, raging inside

Not a single idea on how to get farther

Too many years passed by and the effort haven't paid off yet

Identical to torture

If you ask the small team I had, went ghost chose to

Do they own thing, we dearly departed

Solo mission, put my ten toes in it

This a tricky business, you know things get fishy when you up in this water

Up in this water

Never easy, it gets harder

Up in this water

Careful when you up in this water

Up in this water

Gonna have to think a little smarter

Up in this water

When you up in this water

Up in this water

Never easy, it gets harder

Up in this water

Have you thinkin' why did I start this

Why did I start this

When so many want to be artists

Up in this water

Hard when you up in this water
