Head Above Water

[Intro: Blu & Smoke DZA]
Coal mining in the coal mines
We struggling and striving to unearth the diamonds
Coal mining

[Verse 1: Smoke DZA]
Uh, pray
Glory be to God, it's going down
The pack was in transit, it made it here safe and sound
Treading deep water, hope I don't drown
300 for the zip, 48 for the pound
Moving this shit like I'm outta town, staying from outta bounds
Shawty play me close, she don't do the club or the lounge
She just wanna hang, her day job is accounting
Feeling like Nino, I'm on top of the mountain
Perrier fountain flowin'
I don't even need the chain with this amount of glowing
Could never run out of bud with this amount they growing
Got a good thing going
It's smooth as my cologne when I walk in the room
Paul Ellering cool with the Legion of Doom
Take a trip to Barneys, spend a grip on swag
A Broadway Joe with my mink on drag

[Chorus: Fly Anakin, Blu & Smoke DZA]
I gamble, hustle and scramble
Like a savage, I turn trife life to lavish
Struggling and striving to unearth the diamonds
Coal mining
I keep my head above water
Hustle and scramble
'Cause I'm a savage, I turn trife life to lavish
Struggling and striving to unearth the diamonds
Coal mining
Mutant shit, nigga

[Verse 2: Fly Anakin]
Yeah
Number two headband, hair hanging down my back
Stadium packed, linebacking niggas pushing crack
Silently stacked 'til bail money needed, 'tis the season for velour jumpsuits
The tusk grew since the last rendezvous
Stash the dick in her shoe then run a route, I would assume
We hit Peru, I left her with two
They got the warrant for my style, ten thou'
They keep me in the cage for plenty days
I give you my confessions like the stage been wired
Elbow drop, shoot at undercover cops
The billion may be handy, they watching you round the clock
It's like a handful of rappers in my class
Ayo yo
And you ain't got the courage to return the slab
Kon said it best, niggas
Got our readers at arm's reach
We pump the illest shit, dropped jewels, they pawn rings
Waited for palm trees, mama fueling my RV
She paying for mystique
No drugs under the seat, what?

[Chorus: Fly Anakin, Blu & Smoke DZA]
Why gamble, hustle and scramble
Like a savage, I turn trife life to lavish
Struggling and striving to unearth the diamonds
Coal mining
I keep my head above water
Gamble, hustle and scramble
'Cause I'm a savage, I turn trife life to lavish
'Cause I ain't messing with no 9 to 5
Nights are colder, days are shorter
I'm tryna keep my head above water

[Verse 3: Blu]
Make enough bread to feed my daughter
Teach her how they body slam Sergeant Slaughter
Fuck around, caught up in a situation
No bail, violate probation, in jail
More time, extended duration, incarceration
Violent crimes, mas ain't paying visits, writing letters
Better have, bitter half, but never have
Even have to wire cheddar
Judge addresses you as criminal to get into you
No one opposed or even let you do what you was meant to do
Self defense, five hands backed you up on the fence
He raised his fist and you flinched
You broke his wrist and he's snitched, life's a bitch
Landlord sees remorse coming out your house
On who was looking out my (BLAOW), nobody now
Since I was five years old
I make a grown shawty shout
34, can't see firearms for 20 more
Three down many more to go
Uh, head above water
