Drowning

I reminisce about the days where she used to be addicted

Hella up tight she be Boa-constricted

Blood shot eyes

Same color of her lip stick

Fiendin for a rise

She would trick you in an instant

Misfit, animalistic, sweet honey

Smooth on the surface

But a serpent round money

She wanna be a star

Do whatever for the fame

But she soon figured there’s a price to the game

Flamethrower and her rage done burned her hands

She done burned dem bridges, now she burned dem plants

To get high

And fill another void inside

Then lie to the people she loved straight to their eyes

Swimming in the waters of denial and addiction

Blocking out the real cause you wanna live in fiction

Wanna have it all without the work and the time

Wishing for a life jacket in the pool of your mind

She’s drowning

And now you’re drowning cause you outta control

And now ya standing there with no where to go

Cause what you want ain’t what you need

Baby that truth gone set you free

Ya better grab hold of what you want it to be

And now you’re drowning cause you outta control

(Now you drowning and you outta control baby)

And now ya standing there with no where to go

(Now ya standing there with no where uh)

Cause what you want ain’t what you need

Baby that truth gone set you free

Ya better grab hold of what you want it to be

So baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it yeah

Baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it now

Baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it yeah

Baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it

I remember back when his demeanor was calm

Before he ever wrote his own rhyme for a song

Now he’s seeking validation from the internet’s spawn

Frantic on the grind, and his mind is gone

Blaming others for his failures, slips and misfortunes

Accountable to none, he trips, his rage scorching

If only he grasp some patience

But he’s falling with the mass of instant gratification

So eager with a sip of passion

See the vision in his eyes

Mesmerized

Like they dipped in acid

It’s a gift of madness

Get a glimpse in passing

Brain flips

Kinda like a light switch to magic

See I

Used to be just like him

Obsessing over dreams that I couldn’t begin

Cause we wanna have it all without the work and the time

Wishing for a life jacket In the pool of your minds

He’s drowning

And now you’re drowning cause you outta control

(Now you drowning and you outta control baby)

And now ya standing there with no where to go

(Now ya standing there with no where uh)

Cause what you want ain’t what you need

Baby that truth gone set you free

Ya better grab hold of what you want it to be

And now you’re drowning cause you outta control

(We’re drowning)

And now ya standing there with no where to go

(Ain’t got no where to go)

Cause what you want ain’t what you need

Baby that truth gone set you free

Ya better grab hold of what you want it to be

So baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it yeah

Baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it now

Baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it yeah

Baby let’s talk about it

Baby let’s talk about it
