[00:11.888]Mhmm mhmm mhmm
[00:26.777]Oh I swam for miles only to realize the current
[00:32.345]Is fightin'against me and I'm so tired I'm floatin'now
[00:38.540]Oh from here on out I've got to realize the power
[00:44.178]Of learnin'to let go and just let God
[00:46.149]Enjoy the ride
[00:46.806]Yeah look
[00:47.890]Born into pain alcoholic veins
[00:50.753]Over analytical brain a product of the shame
[00:53.654]And runnin'from a past that's checkered like the game
[00:56.592]Somewhere 'long the way somebody snatched my peace and main
[00:59.626]Maybe that's the reason I spent decades seekin'fame
[01:02.368]And fortune hopin'that a proper portion would contain
[01:05.351]The sadness in my eyes remember when I came
[01:08.442]In this music business all their questions was insane
[01:11.332]Why you never smile in your pictures I refrain
[01:14.221]From giving you the answer 'cause that answer wasn't plain
[01:17.157]Enough for me to see 'cause at the time
[01:18.739]I knew my name
[01:20.53]But didn't know myself and so I dealt with s**t the same
[01:23.41]As a fugitive but running from the truth and s**t
[01:25.370]I shoot the s**t with n**gas
[01:27.39]But they never knew the s**t that's hidden deep
[01:28.809]Within the crevices like ever since I was a child
[01:31.800]Seen my mama with the pistol pointed at her dome and how
[01:34.229]In the f**k do you expect for me to
[01:36.154]Ever be the best lil'me
[01:37.669]That I can be when trauma's deep inside of me
[01:39.793]Like IV fluid pumpin'through the blood of wifey
[01:42.190]While she's giving birth
[01:43.192]To my child I know my thoughts are runnin'wild
[01:45.921]Bear with my style this just a trial run
[01:47.790]Just heard these kids don't know 'bout Malcolm
[01:49.357]And I'm sort of heartbroken
[01:50.693]'Cause the elders lost hope in our youth
[01:52.869]And here I sit dead in the middle
[01:54.589]Not a little boy no more
[01:55.852]But not quite old yet wakin'up in cold sweats
[01:58.125]Scared that I'm too disconnected from the kids'perspective
[02:01.603]The world ain't got no patience for some s**t that's introspective
[02:04.383]So where in the f**k that leave me irrelevant I guess
[02:06.962]Went from heaven sent to hella bent intelligent but stressed d**n
[02:13.252]Oh I swam for miles only to realize the current
[02:18.720]Is fightin'against me and I'm so tired I'm floatin'now
[02:25.11]Oh from here on out I've got to realize the power
[02:30.68]Of learnin'to let go and just let God
[02:32.705]Enjoy the ride
[02:33.920]One more time
[02:35.495]Swim good enjoy the ride yeah
[02:37.316]Every day I rise thank God that I am alive yeah
[02:40.538]Yeah swim good enjoy the ride yeah
[02:42.909]Every day I rise thank God that I am alive uh
[02:47.11]Permanent vacation for forever
[02:48.984]Some things you gotta leave behind some people just like weather
[02:51.465]And seasons for that reason I know I'll always have a leg up
[02:54.496]Weatherman forecast me dead last think I'm just another n**ga
[02:57.862]Maybe I'll be the next Black Beatle like Swae Lee
[03:00.696]Yeah I know my worth these colonizers got to pay me
[03:03.675]Yeah I had to go first 'cause the rest would never last
[03:06.411]I had to show the positives for those that couldn't add
[03:09.616]Looking at the ads they only love us if our a**
[03:12.150]Out and so I'm out I got an audi and it's bad
[03:15.439]I said that line 'cause n**gas only respect you if you brag
[03:18.20]It don't work on me the same don't give a f**k 'bout what you have
[03:21.585]Everybody claimin'boss none of you n**gas got no staff
[03:24.168]It don't measure up the same what's a quarter to a half
[03:26.903]Of a whole lot of problems n**ga who taught you to add
[03:29.882]Where I'm from we don't recognize that it's good math
[03:32.259]If you don't teach the ones
[03:34.149]That's coming up to multiply their cash
[03:36.224]Think for themselves think beyond sales
[03:39.205]Everything with worth don't come with some whistles and some bells
[03:41.835]The ones I gotta leave behind the ones you gotta bail
[03:44.716]Meek mill I'm workin'hard ain't too far from a meek mil'
[03:47.395]To keep it real the realest n**gas I know always kept it real
[03:51.66]And I'ma tell you black-on-black murder been whack
[03:54.223]9th turn me up so they can hear me in the back
[03:57.432]Yeah and that's pretty hard for me
[04:00.20]But you see hopeful n**gas and where they all ought to be
[04:02.653]Scared to grow wings Birdman with a bunch of Carter beef
[04:05.483]That's old news look n**ga you talking to modern me
[04:08.471]Smarter we had better conversations sittin'with barbers
[04:12.178]Puttin'hearts and heads in n**gas who don't think ahead who taught you
[04:15.78]Schoolyard schoolyard welcome to the schoolyard
[04:17.813]Teach you how to make moves without needin'a U-HAUL
[04:20.845]I was on you all when I was growin'up
[04:22.966]Now it's you all that's all on these nuts
[04:25.583]I'm ballin'havin'a ball and I got the balls to say it
[04:28.963]Who needs inspiration where you know when you can play it
[04:31.818]Carolina to the heart nobody here gon'play us
[04:34.587]The day that we expire Carolina's where they'll lay us
[04:37.420]I woke up feelin'like Aaliyah yeah a million and one bucks
[04:41.08]Told these n**gas I don't give a single million and one f**k rap
[04:47.60]Oh I swam for miles only to realize the current
[04:52.571]Is fightin'against me and I'm so tired I'm floatin'now
[04:58.927]Oh from here on out I've got to realize the power
[05:04.241]Of learnin'to let go and just let God
[05:06.619]Enjoy the ride
