[Intro]
Think I'll let that shit breathe 'cause it just sounds so beautiful
Ah, ah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
Standin' in my own way, anytime I go, there's a mile away
I find no way to stop myself or slow down
Runnin' at my own pace, ain't got no time to waste
I'm countin' down all my days, I gotta let it go now
It's written all over my face, I'm spinnin' all over the place
I can't get a moment or break, I think I'm 'bout to break down
And I just might beat the brakеs off a tr—
I'm close to the edgе, 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 hearin' shit that my umi said
Been grievin' ever since I found out that my homie dead
Told me hold my head, my crown is heavy
Got tears flowin' like broken levees
In New Orleans tryna stay alive by any means
These days, got a lot of enemies
Feedin' off of my energy, lately, been channelin' my inner chi
Tryna reawaken 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?
If I change course, will you come with me?
Heard they comin' for me
So I keep a piece to protect my peace
Gotta watch my six when I cross these streets
I ain't no vegan, I ain't scared of no beef
Let's cut straight to potatoes and meat (Uh)
Mama was a DUS, so I gotta be (Gotta be)
Please don't pull a demon out of me (Uh)
I ain't never been a trouble starter, I'm a troubleshooter
Bitch, please don't bother me
Got a lot of stress, please don't be the reason I release it out of me
My head is hot, but the block is hotter
Red dot, red dot, I'm a top shotta with a switch, nigga
Start reflectin', what's the bigger picture?
See my reflection when I depict ya
Broke nigga, no, I can't fix ya
What's six figures to a rich—
Who you mad at, me or yourself?
How contagious is your mental health?
Deep down, you been swimmin' in doubt
Shit, you might be as good as Michael Phelps
On the low, this the lowest you felt
But your pride too high just to ask for help
See, you the problem, I figured you out
How I know? 'Cause I know myself
[Bridge]
I ain't no perfect man, I'm just tryna do my best
I spent 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 'til I take my last breath
[Chorus]
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)
[Post-Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
Ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe, ah, ah
Breathe
[Outro]
Coming up for air
In a whirlpool of despair is where I face my fear
Keep ruining my lifeboat, I'm in deep water, no life jacket
Just tryna stay afloat
