"Underwater" lyrics

I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been trying to hide 'cuz I'm scared
Confusing which is what from the other
'Cuz it doesn't mean so much in the end
I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been tryna breathe
I've been trying to hide 'cuz I'm scared
I don't know what to do
Confusing which is what from the other
But it doesn't matter
'Cuz it doesn't mean so much in the end
It don't mean nothing

Yeah, yeah
I've been dealing with the lies
I've been busy cutting ties
From all the other people
Who not giving me their time
And lately I've been feeling like the only one behind
'Cuz I'm always giving out but I'm never getting mine
I always kept it real and had good intentions
But people on the internet faking their friendships
Tryna benefit when they see you progressing
And quick to turn they back when they onto the next one
A sad way to live
I can't ever relate
And nowadays I can't tell the real from the fake
'Cuz everybody poppin'
And everybody paid
Til you see their real life and it never look the same
I show 'em how I did it, I've been real authentic
I won't ever tell a lie just to boost my image
'Cuz I'm good where I'm at
I don't need no gimmicks
I just put away my phone enjoy the life I'm living, yeah

I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been tryna breathe
I've been trying to hide 'cuz I'm scared
I don't know what to do
Confusing which is what from the other
But it doesn't matter
'Cuz it doesn't mean so much in the end
It don't mean nothing

Aye, yeah, yeah
The more that I do, the more that I believe
Everything always goes how it's meant to be
And I don't try to force nothing, I just let it breathe
If it's out of my control then it's not for me
To worry 'bout, I just let it play out
I be living optimistic, I don't ever have doubt
That it's all gonna work but I don't know how
All I do is play my role til the curtain come down
Yeah, I'm lucky that I never had to work 9 to 5
But I put in all that time til my dream came alive
The story never ends if you always gonna try
And I never let nobody ever tell me otherwise
So if you really want it then you better go and get it
'Cuz nothing gon' happen if you don't put in the effort
The finish line never in sight when you be waiting
So go enjoy the journey 'cuz there ain't no destination

I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been tryna breathe
I've been trying to hide 'cuz I'm scared
I don't know what to do
Confusing which is what from the other
But it doesn't matter
'Cuz it doesn't mean so much in the end
