Swim

I was 3 when my old man left in the wind

Pushed me in the ocean turned around and said swim

That's what I did even though I was scared

I kept kicking cause a person only floats when he's dead

If I had one wish, it wouldn't be wealth

It would be that if we could just love ourselves

Cause everyday it's like we kill a million dreams

And it seems everybody on different teams

I don't mean to get deep, I'm just speaking the truth

We in a two bed trailer with a leak in the roof

I ate potatoes every way you could ever make 'em

When you're hungry gotta use your imagination

My mom did her best she would hug and kiss me

Even though we had more fucking mice than Disney

I still had some Polos and plenty of drawers

While she was living life with the same two bras

The lightning strikes like Garth say thunder rolls

Life is cold like an Eskimo in summer clothes

I suffer softly but never let nothing stop me

And I miss my little girl like somebody shot me

I was 3 when my old man left in the wind

Pushed me in the ocean turned around and said swim

That's what I did even though I was scared

I kept kicking cause a person only floats when he's dead

I be prison made, cross bitch, diamonds and jewels

Still flyer than Jordan when he was running with Bulls

So many shots and missed, so many cops was triffed

So many songs I have written in the past on this

It's a lot of imposters try to tell you the same

But how the fuck can I explain no one knows my pain

From the cord on my navel, I was a G from the cradle

I don't snort cause they say that fucking Cain killed Abel

I'm not sure you understand it but I must express it

Santa Claus is on heroin there ain't no presents

And mom all this shit makes my eyes so watery

Now I understand why you try to win the lottery

We gon' make it I promise don't let the memories haunt us

I remember we was at the bus stop in pajamas

Tryna run from a home that brought so many tears
