You Gotta Sink to Learn How to Swim

I got so far out forgot how to swim
Playing cards at the bottom of the ocean
No life gaurd and no life vest
Ain't no one gonna clean up my mess
Ain't no rain if you is already wet

I don't ever wanna not be a kid
But that attitude drove me to this
To telling my brothers it's sink or swim
That it's their fault they're homeless
That they should pull themselves up by their boot strap

You'd think with all this space well we could get
A single room for him to stay in
But the business man he raise the rent
Obsessed with his enormous profit
Tiny hands filling giant pockets

Fake news filled with real violence
Question mark for a president
Clear as mud it don't make much sense
But I know how to make it great again
Hire a bunch of Mexican

I ain't trying to be a pessimist
No I ain't got no solution
I'm just trying to have a conversation
'Bout how it hurts so good to be American
Remind myself that I'm human

We not here for a short sprint
We in it for the distance
So if you lose just go again
I said losing is a way to win
You gotta sink to learn how to swim
