Drowning - Carlton Carvalho, Squire

Man you don’t know my life I’m drownin'

Barely got time to write got me frownin'

I’m trapped in this trap & I’m trappin' again

Back being passive on my passion again

Mind weakening my body, make it hard for me to swim

But I gotta go in for my son & my daughter

Even when my lungs feel filled up with water

But how can I live when the real me is dying?

How can I write when a baby is crying?

I thought I was destined, is destiny lying?

I’m probably not, doing my best but I’m definitely trying… damn

HOOK

Tryna stay afloat, Gotta stay afloat

Negative brain waves tryna rock my boat

MAKE ME FEEL I’M DROWNING

Drinking by the swimming pool, drowning in these women too

Are you living life or is it living you?

Soon as I get a little free time, little bit of me time

I’m doing anything just to be fine

But I’m wasting my time, if I ain’t making these rhymes

That shit ain’t making me shine, that shit just making me fine

With dying & being at the bottom of the pond

Niggas ain’t swimming I’m breaking the bond

Cutting the ties that’s keeping me tied

Cause that don’t even SUIT me or look fly

And I’m tryna fly not just look fly, Be the guy that they look by

Like «He could’ve been great but he ain’t have what it takes, he’s a good guy»

HOOK

Tryna stay afloat, Gotta stay afloat

Negative brain waves tryna rock my boat

MAKE ME FEEL I’M DROWNING (DROWNING)

Til I jumped out the water like a muhfuckin' Dolphin

Had to get back up to PAR with the STROKE on my ART like Picasso golfing'

Rappers be spittin' I’m literally barfin' my heart &

Even a genius needs a genius to remind him he’s genius

Deception is cunning as lingus, especially when them thoughts start to linger

Gotta watch out who you cruise with

If that crew ain’t a cruise ship don’t even do it!

Niggas be caught in the CURRENT occurrence consuming and losing

They not even moving!

My homie got me out the water like a life jacket

Now I got a new flow that I’m right back with

Y’all fools be glued to the waves & the tides but

That’ll be the day that I say goodbye to DROWNING!

HOOK

Tryna stay afloat, Gotta stay afloat

Negative brain waves tryna rock my boat

MAKE ME FEEL I’M DROWNING

Drinking by the swimming pool, drowning in these women too

Are you living life or is it living you?
