I've been trying to breathe underwater I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusion which is one from the other Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
I've been trying to breathe underwater I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusion which is one from the other Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
So many say they love me, but how many really mean it
Say we was down for life, now distant strangers for no reason
The ones that love you, they can hurt you most, it hits the deepest
I hope the angels find me, I've been hiding from them demons
I gotta keep moving forward, failure just can't afford it
That water keep getting higher, treading but getting tired
Wonder will it ever change, too many days on the pavement
Had to confront the pain and make some changes, no complaining
Getting older is difficult, focusing on my spiritual
They say that things can only make you strong if they not killing you
Blinded to the things that give me life, that's an oversight
Had to face defeats still show my teeth just like an overbite
I'm painting like an artist, lyrics from where my heart is
Still repping M-U-S-U, they been with me since I started
The reason I go harder, mother, sisters, and daughter
Father, sons, and my brother, and family that's above us
I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusion which is one from the other
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
Gary Payton in my lungs, I love the way it tastes
Roll an eighth in the dutch then get half-baked
The life I'm livin wouldn't have it any other way
My auntie Cheri laced me up with alotta game
I was trouble as a youngin, always into somethin
Bending corners, gettin money, thinkin bout my cousins
Smoke my blunt, think my thoughts, then it's back to thuggin
It never came to me easy, now get it like it's nothin
Heavenly Father, forgive me for my life full of sinnin
I'm not afraid to admit it, a little narcissistic
Learned my lessons, now I'm doing shit just a little different
So please believe I'ma get it long as my clock tickin
Not even close to my pinnacle, make my way up the ladder
Learned the ways of a dragon, and then became a master
To me it don't matter, less currency is on the platter
Life with good health and abundance is what I'm truly after
I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusion which is one from the other
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
