Above Water Video (MV)

Got my head above water
Still feel I can't breathe
Got too deep with these streets
I won't fall out like leaves
Went to war with my brothers
Over shit that ain't what it seems
I seen PTSDs turn into RIPs
No bankroll in my pocket
Ever did shit for my conscience
Like the Xanax I was poppin
Ecstasy I'm up like rockets
Can't find no in-between it's always high or low
Don't fall victim
Thinking everything that shines is gold
Cold nights made me the hottest
With no sunrise
It was just me and my rocket
Working full time
And you can't be quick to trust your partner
When the whole hood slime
And these my real eyes
But it took time for me to see lies
Then I realized
Ice all over my wrist watch
I freeze time
Roll call getting shorter
Fly in paradise
And I ain't tripping over no love
That was never mine
What they say when you see real
And can't be recognized
He don't even look familiar
A lot of our shooters died by the gun
Death just breeds the killers
Never leave a witness
All rise for Judge Conscience as I plead guilty
Just tie a noose around my neck before I fall for it
I spent years calling out on my knees
To watch my calls forward
And if you never yes or no what I called for
It's all love
Least I know this world is mine
Ain't gotta hear it's all yours
Got my head above water
Still feel I can't breathe
Got too deep with these streets
I won't fall out like leaves
Went to war with my brothers
Over shit that ain't what it seems
I seen PTSDs turn into RIPs
No bankroll in my pocket
Ever did shit for my conscience
Like the Xanax I was poppin
Ecstasy I'm up like rockets
Can't find no in-between it's always high or low
Don't fall victim
Thinking everything that shines is gold
Have you ever felt the pressure
Of a love and hate relationship
Going right or left
On top of picking who you taking with you
Seeing shit for what it was
Knowing you can't fake a picture
Get high as jets and everyday
I'm shaking missiles
Naw won't let them shoot me down
I hear Shiem over my shoulder
I wish I was with you
Always keep my Taurus ready to go
Won't hear that safety click
Now I let the ecstasy caress
And get the best of me
It's the only way I cope
With fallen soldiers that was next to me
Running out of patience
Which direction, should I change the route
Gangsters move in silence
Have the steppers clap and make it loud
Told her speak on what you know
Before the shit you heard around
(Uh-huh)
Told her speak on what you know
'Fore what you heard around
All this smoke inside my lungs
Should I let it out
Only nigga turned his back on me we hawked him down
(Ah-yeah)
Got my head above water
Still feel I can't breathe
Got too deep with these streets
I won't fall out like leaves
Went to war with my brothers
Over shit that ain't what it seems
I seen PTSDs turn into RIPs
No bankroll in my pocket
Ever did shit for my conscience
Like the Xanax I was poppin
Ecstasy I'm up like rockets
Can't find no in-between it's always high or low
Don't fall victim
Thinking everything that shines is gold
