I think I'll let that shit breathe, 'cause it just sounds so beautiful Ah Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe Like I'm underwater trying to reach (ah, ah) For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (ah, ah) It's like I'm trapped and I just can't seem to free myself Standing in my own way, anytime I go there's a mile away I find no way to stop myself and slow down Running in my own pace, ain’t got no time to waste I'm counting down all my days, I gotta let it go now It's written all over my face, I'm spitting all over the place I can't get a moment of break, I think I'm 'bout to break down And I just might beat the brakes off of- I'm close to the edge, I might just slip I'm sick in the head and I know that shit Too long since I seen the dead piss Feel like Mos Def, I ain't hearing shit that my umi said Been grieving ever since I found out that my homie dead Told me hold my head, my crown is heavy Got tears flowing like broken levees In New Orleans tryna stay alive, by any means, these days, got a lot of enemies Feeding off of my energy, lately, been channeling my energy Tryna re-awaken my Kundalini Know God talkin' to me through my dreams, I’m just tryna figure out what it means Do I stick it out, or go a different route?

'Cause I know myself I ain't no perfect man, I'm just tryna do my best I spend time searching for my way and I just went left No one knows of the pain I'm carrying on my chest And still I fight each day to let in my last breath Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe (ah, ah) Like I'm underwater trying to reach (ah, ah) For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (ah, ah) It's like I'm trapped and I can't seem to free myself (ah) Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe (ah, ah) Like I'm underwater trying to reach (ah, ah) For the surface, but I'm stuck underneath (ah, ah) It's like I'm trapped and I can't seem to free myself (ah) Yeah, you saved me from myself Darling, come closer and catch me from falling No one knows how bad I want it Spent my whole life waiting for this moment Yeah, you saved me from myself Darling, come closer and catch me from falling No one knows how bad I want it Spent my whole life waiting for this moment (Waiting for this moment) (Waiting for this moment) (For this moment) Ah Breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah Breathe, ah, ah Breathe Coming up for air In a whirlpool of despair Swear, I face my fear Keep growing in my life God, I'm in deep water, no life jacket Just tryna stay afloat
