Above The Water Lyrics

Aye, tryin to keep my head above the water yeah yeah

Tryin to keep my head above the water yeah

Cuz what don't sink must swim and what don't swim must sink

Tryin to keep my head above the water just got paid this week

Tryin to keep my head above the water yeah yeah

Tryin to keep my head above the water baby

You gotta change the root, if you wanna change the fruit

Collected all the apples and I made me some juice

Materialistic, I can't even lie I'm materialistic

Cuz I ain't never had shit I wanna have shit to see if it'll make me feel different

Let's be realistic, I made it out real trenches

When you see me I be real drippy

And now she got the goo goo eyes for the Guru

Cuz she thinking I'm her meal ticket

I'm like girl quit it, I'm tryin to eat just like you

You can't have a piece of my food

You wasn't with me shooting in the gym

Or painting I'm the studio, you don't know what I done been through

We done bed through hell and hot water

Held in cop cars, neglected by fathers

Me and my brother went harder

Beating all odds, tryin to get farther

I love you Mama imma do this for you

Yo son is a beast I escaped out the zoo

Skinned some chinchillas and made me a jacket

And inside that jacket I keep me a ratchet

I know what to do

Take that negativity and flip it til it's meant for me

Been fighting demons mentally

I hope the lord can save me, I hope that it's true

Don't know what I am meant to be

But I can feel it spiritually

I think I'm finding inner peace

I'm praying for my enemies

I am simply, one of the greatest

I think I elevated when I spit that last line

It ain't even halftime

The game is long, I done waited long

But I ain't do it to past time

I was told that time wait on no man or woman

So go and get it, go and get it if you want it

Cuz it ain't promised, it ain't promised nah

Tryin to keep my head above the water yeah yeah

Tryin to keep my head above the water yeah

Cuz what don't sink must swim and what don't swim must sink

Tryin to keep my head above the water just got paid this week

Tryin to keep my head above the water yeah yeah

Tryin to keep my head above the water baby

You gotta change the root, if you wanna change the fruit

Collected all the apples and I made me some juice

My head above the water, my neck full of water

My wrist full of water, so I get attention from such and such's daughter

See I been going harder the beat get man slaughtered

From all the bars I thought of

I could of been a barber

I'm giving out fades for all of you out of order

I'm am not your ordi- nary person that's for certain

I made a wave can you surf it

My flow on point yeah it's perfect

I work hard so I deserve it

She held it down so she deserved it

All the jewelry and the purses

Emotions make a nigga nervous

If I fall I hope my dawg carry me

I got yo back most definitely

I want my money, love, and time

All of the above to have longevity

I want peace and prosperity

Going 50/50 yeah that's fair to me

When I ask ya how you feel tell me what's real

Baby quit sparing me

I remember all them hard times, I used to think of giving up

All them critics on the sidelines, but I could never give a fuck

I was raised on tough love so by default I'm tough

Yeah my vault untouched

You can't call my bluff, it's Guru

I was told that time wait on no man or woman

So go and get it, go and get it if you want it

Cuz it ain't promised, it ain't promised nah
