Lyrics Drowning - Carlton Carvalho, Squire

Drowning

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?
