[Verse 1]
Tattoos I got at eighteen
'Forever' loves are breaking up
And maybe my goals are daydreams, fairy tales suck
Cracks in my walls are showing
My little brother's growing up
And I'm on the edge of choking but I'm really stuck
[Pre-Chorus]
Washed out in the riptide, ooh
But I'ma try to stay alive every time
I'll cry 'til I'm navy blue, but
[Chorus]
Mama didn't raise no quitter
Throw me in the deep end, I'm a good swimmer
I don't get mad, not bitter
Take me to the water, I'm a good kicker
Drowning and my lungs on fire
I'm going under
Mama didn't raise no quitter
Throw me in the deep end, watch me swim
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
My daddy's getting older
I didn't know the world's so cold
I wasted my wishes on airplanes and satellites
[Pre-Chorus]
Washed out in the riptide, ooh
But I'ma try to stay alive every time
I'll cry 'til I'm navy blue, but
[Chorus]
Mama didn't raise no quitter
Throw me in the deep end, I'm a good swimmer
I don't get mad, not bitter
Take me to the water, I'm a good kicker
Drowning and my lungs on fire
I'm going under
Mama didn't raise no quitter
Throw me in the deep end, watch me swim
[Bridge]
This shit gon' make me stronger
I am my mother's daughter
Head up in troubled waters
(I'm a good swimmer)
This shit gon' make me stronger
I am my mother's daughter
Head up in troubled waters
(Watch me swim)
[Outro]
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
I'm a good swimmer
