Drowning

[Verse 1]
Everybody's very scared of drowning but i'm also scared of swimming
Anybody on who i've been counting, got away if they were winning
And i got so much to deal with, trust me it's not a lil bit
You see the sadness in me but can you still see Philip
Real shit, lately i've thinking that i could never kill it
I'm destined to live on a path that i will hate and i feel it
I woke up in a nightmare, right here, where i couldn't fight fear
Same place, different time, distance felt like there been a lightyear
I've been stepped on and avoid like i was just some dog shit
Asking when will the fog split? They say doves dodge the frog spit
But they still aiming though, life showed me mother's crying
Brother's dying, fathers praying, we've been going back with leaps of giant
Lovers are lying, birds are scared of flying
Dreaming feels better than trying, but we all looking for triumph
The water's rising, the word horizon has lost his meaning
Tell me how to be an angel when you're surrounded by demons

[Verse 2]
Everybody's very scared of drowning but i'm also scared of swimming
Anybody on who i've been counting, got away if they were winning
I tried to stick with the homies and if i can, show them love
Our stories go beyond the money, and i remember how it was
Struggling, hustling, still looking for that fast money, cash money
Living in this world is being treated like you're another crash dummy
If you go away you might get shot and if you stay home, well you might not
Try to stay up when the bodies drop and to keep up when nobodies stop
Good luck to live like this, in a world where you might just
Follow rather than rises or leave now and be lifeless
Fuck man now it's a crisis don't forget life is priceless
So just try to act righteous and you may find surprises
I won't turn back after i walked all of this distance
In case you missed it, you stay persistent for your existence
I'm just trying to leave a mark, i'm not tryin' to be heroic
Just to be one of the million others street poet
