Up & Down

I've been up and I've been down I've been tryna get my feet up off the ground Swore I had to learn to swim before I drowned It been so much ways to keep me down I've been going through it baby Ooh wah Ooh wah I've been going through some pain baby lately Ooh wah Ooh wah I've been going through some thangs heart beating out my chest Tryna shake my pain I can barely get my rest I just lost my job Still tell me that I'm blessed But I know rent due it's kinda hard not to stress Thought I was skipping work I had to take my girl to school I thought it was important how'd they get that misconstrued I'm a whole damn daddy what am I supposed to do And I know my kids watching so I gotta keep my cool Yeah I've been up and I'd been down I've been tryna get my feet up off the ground Swore I had to learn to swim before I drowned It been so much ways to keep me down I've been going through it baby Ooh wah Ooh wah I've been going through some pain baby lately Ooh wah Ooh wah Stayed down Down Stayed down I called my granny tell her pray for me I kiss my kids head while they lay to sleep My auntie tell me baby this your destiny I hit rock bottom now he blessing me Cause I've been through so much I stayed down I've been up and I'd been down I've been tryna get my feet up off the ground Swore I had to learn to swim before I drowned It been so much ways to keep me down I've been going through it baby Ooh wah Ooh wah I've been going through some pain baby lately Ooh wah Ooh wah
