"Highs & Lows" lyrics
I've been tryna breathe under water
I've been tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
Confusing which is one from the other
'Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
Another writing session
Caught me rapping about myself again
Change my train of thought of what life could've, should've, would've been
Homies working corporate
I ain't saying that's what I should've did
But pressure lingers—crazy—while I'm trying to get my foot up in a game
Where their constipated stomach ache
'Caught they full of shit
Say their grass is greener
'Til I ask, "Bring up the footage then."
Of course it gets corrupted like body cams on crooked feds
If I knew what I know now, I'd probably never shook them hands
Damn
This all go back to younger me
Passionate 'bout not passing classes
Knew more was underneath
Saw me as a joke 'til bars were hot enough to catch some steam
And that's when all the homies I never had came out the weeds
Who am I to trust?
Why am I who they judge?
God gave me this chance
Must have known that I would be strong enough
But my eyes closed from this blindfold over my soul
Trying to escape things
We know, time shows
How our mind's mold
Through the highs... lows
And I'm trapped 'caught lately
I've been tryna breathe under water
Tryna breathe
Tryna breathe
Tryna breathe like
I've been tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
I'm tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
No
Confusing which is one from the other
Confusing
Confusing
'Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
'Cause it doesn't mean so much
No
Comparison's the killer of the blessings you've earned
You got a book of them in front of you
You still question the words
If you look enough, you'll take what someone else's deserved
But rather work to make it yours
Just blame life 'til you burn
You suffer greatly 'cause hell's closer the more that you fail
When you fall, your perspective flawed
You're suffocating yourself
Your fear's a mile wide, but an inch deep
But you won't step
So, you can't see it
This is just a song
But try and prove me wrong
You can fool us all, but you can't deceive the mirror
Don't need to make it clearer
Act like you ain't sinking
And there ain't nothing to fear
And your demons take control
Your life's the ship
You let him steer it
Get called out
Start lashing out
Because you just ain't trying to hear it
I suggest you put more faith in your instincts
I know they ain't been forgiving
But trust: your recipe's fine
There's only one thing is missing:
Define your enemies lines
Don't quit the fight 'til you're winning
War and peace is a cycle
Just keep that in mind while you feel it and singing
I've been tryna breathe under water
Tryna breathe
Tryna breathe
Tryna breathe like
I've been tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
I'm tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
No
Confusing which is one from the other
Confusing
Confusing
'Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
'Cause it doesn't mean so much
No
I've been tryna breathe under water
I've been tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
Confusing which is one from the other
'Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
I've been tryna hide 'cause I'm scared
Confusing which is one from the other
'Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
Another writing session
