"Above Water" lyrics
(feat. Keara Alyse)
[Mark Battles:]
Uh
I had to fight my whole life to keep my head above water
Had a kid as a kid, lost some kisses to my daughter
Plus they wanna see me fail, so that make my ass go harder
Tired of sittin' on the bitch, coach, I'm tryna be a starter
Young man, young man, please tell me where you headed?
I don't know, but for sure, this way further than you met us (Uh-huh?)
Any time you grow up broke, tend to have a money fetish (Yup)
And you know the hoes love it, she gon' bust it just like Bettis
No mustard, hold the lettuce, bitch, I only want the bread
Love the bros from my ghetto, nigga, who gon' keep 'em fed?
I'm the boss like Simon Says, I can't lead 'em to no ledge
Hard to take a pic' with Wayne because he tryna dodge the feds
Ayy, that other nigga crossed me, we gon' let that pussy beg
Now I'm pissin' on you niggas, bitch, it's time to shake my leg
SMH or shake my head, all that stupid shit they said
Tried to claim that I ain't have it, always have it, go your head
Automatics under beds, just so I can sleep at night (Uh-huh?)
Get some time, but when I'm gone, that pussy mine, bae, keep that tight
A lot of times I know I'm wrong, I hope these songs can make it right (Make it right), uh
Here's a kiss, say good night
Had to fight my whole life to keep my head above water
Had a kid as a kid, just a boy with a daughter
And they wanna see me fail, so that make my ass go harder
All the stupid shit I did, that just make my ass grow smarter
Had to fight my whole life to keep my head above water (My whole life)
Keep my head above—
Had to fight my whole life to keep my head above water (My whole life)
Yeah, yeah (My whole life), yeah
[Keara Alyse:]
We swimmin' now, ten toes, divin' for the finish route
Standin' up, push my way against the crowd
Taking all these L's, but we winnin' now
We winnin' now
Had to fight my whole life to keep my head above water
Head above water
Yours feels sunny for your daughter
Yours for them niggas that done left us
I'ma keep on pushin' 'til my chest hurt
You're applying pressure, watch them waves surf (Watch the waves surf)
Head above water
Head above water
Head above water
'Bout to keep my head above water (To keep my head above water)
Water
Water
Uh
I had to fight my whole life to keep my head above water
Had a kid as a kid, lost some kisses to my daughter
Plus they wanna see me fail, so that make my ass go harder
Tired of sittin' on the bitch, coach, I'm tryna be a starter
Young man, young man, please tell me where you headed?
