Afloat

Said it's the work that I put in that'll keep me afloat
Stay focused, never lose sight of my ultimate goal
Pressure stacking, it's really easy to succumb to low
But I'ma keep pushing and trusting in the road

Just gotta know, pain comes with every given thing
Till we reach a point where our stories get noticed and we begin to sing
Yeah, we don't take no L
Yeah, you know it, hard to keep believing cause my faith been tested

But under pressure, the diamond's what I manifest
Cause you know life ain't no fairy tale but it don't have to end in woe
Got my eyes on the throne as I throttle the flow
Holy Spirit, lift me up, it's time that I stay afloat

Okay, never take no shortcuts cause good things take time to unfold
Even though it's dark, I'm hoping still as life deals blow after blow
Can't lose that will, my heart says never quit
So I'll keep going, dragging myself up until the morning

So many promises been declared and then broken
Blindly seeing but still led astray
You walking in, lit up by these streetlights
My lights all around me

I'ma be who I am and never follow them trends blindly
That perspective will save me from the darkness
Gotta keep the faith, clock still ticking
Moving, never stopping, stay consistent

Jumping out of bed, motivated, ay, yeah
Searching hard for a way out of this mess
My folks told me that hope's not something to stress
But hope is my light in the dark

It's my oasis in the gloom
A product of fate and a portion of luck for a man on the move
Hope for tomorrow, visions come true
By facing all the sorrows that life throws at you

Hope for tomorrow and focus on your goals
Cause we're gonna make it through this world that's full of holes
Looking for a purpose, a cause to believe in
I'm resilient and ready for whatever I'm facing

Cause see, if I keep moving, I can make it through the fire
And the closer I get to my dream, I'm inspired
Been a long time, I've been living in the shadows
Anxiety and pressure, emotions backed up like a bottle

In all these years I thought if I just concentrate
And focus on all the wrong things that life put on my plate
Still there's hope for a better tomorrow
Not gonna give in to sorrow, no not no way

Ay, cause you know I'm about to drop that beat
Switch, said, it's the work that I put in that'll keep me afloat
Stay focused, never lose sight of my ultimate goal
Pressure stacking, it's easy to succumb to low

But I'm gonna keep pushing and trusting in the road
Just gotta know that pain comes with every given thing so don't let go
So many promises been declared then broken, blindly seeing
But still led astray, you walking in

Yeah, lit up by these street lights, my lights all around me
I'ma be who I am and never follow them trends blindly
That perspective is what saves me from the darkness
Gotta keep the faith, clock still ticking, moving, never stopping, stay consistent

Jump out of bed, being motivated, topping all the haters like a new plateau
Okay, change it for the better, don't be afraid, no, chart a path
Yo, just know, life won't be easy
Just gotta keep putting in the work to stay afloat

Stay focused, never lose sight of your goals
Pressure stacking, it's easy to succumb to low
But I'ma keep pushing and trusting in the road
Just gotta know that pain comes with every given thing
