Stay Afloat - Pule

Water rising up to my nose and fire burning under toes

Where do I go, where do I go, where do I go

Drama trying to bring me down and my problems want me to drown

I just don’t know, I just don’t know, I just don’t know

So I try to stay afloat, I try to stay afloat, I try to stay afloat

I try to stay afloat, I try to stay

Pockets on empty and my Chevy is too

But that don’t matter cuz my Chevy can’t move

I Got a fucking blown engine and my rent past due

Yeah its late, like the period of that chic I last screwed

Fuck was thinking, didn’t proceed with caution

What the fuck was I drinking, got no money for abortion

This is a portrait of a portion of my problems

Still I’m trying to hold on like an orphan to a momma

Fresh up out of college all I make is 10 dollars

Fuck is a degree, swear I was better off without it

Life is full of shit, therefore my colonic is this pad

Full of these melodic notes I’ve jotted want it bad

And they say it can’t happen

Cause you live in Atlanta where everybody’s rapping

But I survived cancer bitch and everybody hasn’t

So I do it for my homies that are absent

When that money calls I pray I recognize the accent

Damn it if I don’t that means I jeopardize my family

Praying that a nigga don’t end up like my daddy

Hate him cause he left me love him because he had me

Paying student loans to this bitch that go by Sallie

Sadly I don’t know what I owe this ho exactly

Heading down the road to success but I’m in a taxi

And I’m going to get out and run I hope that driver don’t catch me

Question

Will they love me if my whip ain’t flashy

If my bitch ain’t bad as fuck and if my hooks ain’t catchy

Listen can’t control what nobody think

I rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I ain’t

Water rising up to my nose and fire burning under toes

Where do I go, where do I go, where do I go

Drama trying to bring me down and my problems want me to drown

I just don’t know, I just don’t know, I just don’t know

So I try to stay afloat…
