Swim

歌詞

[Intro:] I was 3 when my old man left in the wind Pushed me in the ocean, turned around & said "Swim" That's what I did even though I was scared I kept kickin' '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 every day it's like we kill a million dreams & it seems everybody on different teams I don't mean to get deep, I'm just speakin' the truth We in a 2-bed trailer with a leak in the roof I ate potatoes every way you could ever make'em When your hungry gotta use your imagination My mom did her best, she would hug & kiss me Even though we had more fuckin' mice than Disney I still had some polo's & plenty new draws While she was livin' life with the same two bras & lightning strikes like Garth say thunder rolls Life is cold like an Eskimo in summer clothes I suffer softly, but never let nothin' stop me & I miss my little girl like somebody shot me. They walk on me until I die Take me to die so now they'll come around. [Repeated in background] I was 3 when my old man left in the wind Pushed me in the ocean, turned around & said "Swim" That's what I did even though I was scared I kept kickin' 'cause a person only floats when he's dead. I be prison made cross, fuck diamonds & jewels Still flyer then Jordan when he was runnin' with bulls So many shots had missed, so many cops was pissed So many songs I have written in the past on this It's alot 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 bitch Caine killed Abel I'm not sure you understand it but I must express it Santa Claus is on heroine, there ain't no presents & Mom all this shit makes my eyes so watery Now I understand why you tried 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 Tryin' to run from a home that brought so many tears Bad luck like we must've broke a thousand mirrors. They walk on me until I die Take me to die so now they'll come around. [Repeated in background] I was 3 when my old man left in the wind Pushed me in the ocean, turned around & said "Swim" That's what I did even though I was scared I kept kickin' 'cause a person only floats when he's dead. They walk on me until I die Take me to die so now they'll come around.
