Sometimes I feel just like I'm drownin'
Sometimes I feel just like I'm drownin'
And I know my people all around me
But I feel like these folk tryna drown me
I don't got my hand out
Cuz I don't want no handout
It might not even pan out
But I'm proud I ain't ran out
I think I'm losin' myself
Tryna be all street
But I gotta conflict
Cuz I woke up on wall street
Tryna make all green
Stock market balling
I'm like an activist
Occupy all streets
Now when I look at the time
I need to get on my grind
Cuz I'm countin' nickels and dimes
And these niggas movin' brick at a time
Now when I look at the time
I gotta pivot my mind
I gotta get with it now
So I don't regret at the end of the line
I been through this before
Waitin' on my team
Met a couple niggas
When I came up on the scene
Tried to put 'em on
Waited on my team
Then they turned they backs
And they blamed it all on me
I ain't got time for this shit
Posed to be grindin' and shit
It ain't no whinin' and shit
I'm tryna line up a lick
Ain't met a real one
With a plan just like mine
I don't f*ck with no favors
Or no hands out or no lifelines
Just like I'm drownin'
Sometimes I feel just like I'm drownin'
And I know my people all around me
But I feel like these folk tryna drown me
I don't got my hand out
Cuz I don't want no handout
It might not even pan out
But I'm proud I ain't ran out
