Underwater

I had to ask myself
Can I really do this
What will I gain with releasing of this music
Ain't been the same since the summers didn't do shit
Years going by feel I didn't go through it
Tears in my heart
Feel I haven't released
Cause talking's been alright
But feel I haven't gone deep
Like treading water all this is open there ain't no creek
Been wondering for a while am I the person that I preach

Days turn to nights
Nights turn to seconds
Counting down the clocks
And wake up feel the blessings
Second chances keep knocking do I really feel their presence
Reflecting on these lessons do I really get their message
Dazed and confused
Waving off any dues
Just me and my pen exploring freedoms I didn't choose
Lack of motivation been stemming through all my passions
Trying to right my ship on this current but it ain't happen
2 sides to the coin who am I without the currency
What's the value in return of all this energy
Exerting all this passion into pages with the pen in me
I've been trying everyday to be the better me
Stuck between doing what is best for others and for myself
Haven't had a selfish thought there is no pride I felt
Maybe need to find my happy place it's overdue
Maybe need to stop the chatter I don't know what's true

Tears in my heart
Tears overflowing I just don't know where to start
Can't seem to find the balance I move through the dark
Use to not want to be seen now I feel I wear this bling to make a statement
Postgame interview I have 48 for the payment
Averaging way too much to be worrying about my placement
But why does it feel like I'm stagnant, over complacent
Need new scenery to strive or am I overthinking
Time to recalculate
Time to understand if it's me or if it's my fate
Up to this point feel like everything for me was made
If this was the chess we were playing it's check mate
Time to understand that it's my future in my plate
Choose to cut it through or leftover for later date
I've always had this hunger can't relate
Chip on my shoulder was given everything can no longer wait
I got no more summers to waste

Days turn to nights
Nights turn to seconds
Counting down the clocks
And wake up feel the blessings
Second chances keep knocking do I really feel their presence
Reflecting on these lessons do I really get their message
Dazed and confused
Waving off any dues
Just me and my pen exploring freedoms I didn't choose
Lack of motivation been stemming through all my passions
Trying to right my ship on this current but it ain't happen
2 sides to the coin who am I without the currency
What's the value in return of all this energy
Exerting all this passion into pages with the pen in me
I've been trying everyday to be the better me
Stuck between doing what is best for others and for myself
Haven't had a selfish thought there is no pride I felt
Maybe need to find my happy place it's overdue
Maybe need to stop the chatter I don't know what's true

One more chance
This my therapy
Felt like I got a lot to share
It's easier this way writing words to the beats that Will presenting me
I still get nervous any time I need to share it's me
Open up to my peers man that was never me
My biggest fear is not reaching the man I sought to be
The potential I think I have scares the shit out of me
But that's how it feels underwater
Steady with the currents I take everything in strides
Early in investments to my future see me rise
Been letting my ego get the upper hand and prosper
You gave me new perspective I can see it's not much farther
Clearing up my mental with your gentle grace
I've been having dreams fearing it was all too late
But chances they keep coming
It's clicking
It's a feeling and I can feel that now
So grateful for everything I got it figured out

Days turn to nights
Nights turn to seconds
Counting down the clocks
And wake up feel the blessings
Second chances keep knocking do I really feel their presence
Reflecting on these lessons do I really get their message
Dazed and confused
Waving off any dues
Just me and my pen exploring freedoms I didn't choose
Lack of motivation been stemming through all my passions
Trying to right my ship on this current but it ain't happen
2 sides to the coin who am I without the currency
What's the value in return of all this energy
Exerting all this passion into pages with the pen in me
I've been trying everyday to be the better me
Stuck between doing what is best for others and for myself
Haven't had a selfish thought there is no pride I felt
Maybe need to find my happy place it's overdue
Maybe need to stop the chatter I don't know what's true
