Текст песни Above Water - Arealius

Just tryna keep my head above the water man

This shit getting harder and harder everyday it seem
That don't mean you back down though you just gotta keep going man
Keep yo head up lil nigga

Keeping my head above water-just tryna pass by
Looking for a way out-so I look up at the sky
So I can talk to God and he can show me how
To get thru this madness going on as of now
The pain don't last-the rain always gone pass
All problems got a solution-man I treat it like math
Can't dwell on the past tho-cuz that shit keep you down
Fuck I look like sitting around and arguing with some clowns
All the gossip around me but I don't make a sound
I just keep my head on the swivel-trying not to drown
Niggas dropping like flies everywhere that you look
The city of chefs-with the way that we cook
Worse than Hell's Kitchen nigga cuz this shit get real
You say the wrong thing you just might get ya cap peeled
One wrong turn in the hood-and now ya blood spilled
This the real life call of duty-man you born in the field

Above water that's the only place I need to be
I always feel like I'm drowning so it be hard to sleep
But if you can't sleep-then how else can you dream
I need some oxygen man it's getting hard to breathe
It's getting hard to breathe
Above water that's only place I need to be
I always feel like I'm drowning so it be hard to sleep

We come from the ships-so I ain't seasick
I'm destined for success-and I'm just waiting to reach it
On my Nipsey Hussle-nigga this dedication
On the road to success it's hard-but you gotta embrace it
You know the story-this life shit it can be hard
But you gotta see the beauty that come With ya scars
I been grinding for mines two Summers back to back
I'm on some drake shit-now I just need a Maybach
So rewind and replay that
One of the greatest unknown-yea you prolly could say that
Don't think shit sweet tho-yo money I'll prolly take that
Ain't no way I can fake that
Cuz when it come to this rapping shit-I'm really starving
And when I start eating it's gone show- like Martin
Like the show but it's going bad like in Manhattan
Was dealt a fucked up hand-but ima make it happen
Cuz when you come from where I come from all you see is madness

Above water that's the only place I need to be
I always feel like I'm drowning so it be hard to sleep
But if you can't sleep-then how else can you dream
I need some oxygen man it's getting hard to breathe
It's getting hard to breathe
Above water that's only place I need to be
I always feel like I'm drowning so it be hard to sleep
