I've been up and I've been down
I've been tryna get my feet up off the ground
Swore I had to learn to swim before I drowned
It been so much ways to keep me down
I've been going through it baby
Ooh wah
Ooh wah
I've been going through some pain baby lately
Ooh wah
Ooh wah
I've been going through some thangs heart beating out my chest
Tryna shake my pain I can barely get my rest
I just lost my job
Still tell me that I'm blessed
But I know rent due it's kinda hard not to stress
Thought I was skipping work I had to take my girl to school
I thought it was important how'd they get that misconstrued
I'm a whole damn daddy what am I supposed to do
And I know my kids watching so I gotta keep my cool
Yeah
I've been up and I'd been down
I've been tryna get my feet up off the ground
Swore I had to learn to swim before I drowned
It been so much ways to keep me down
I've been going through it baby
Ooh wah
Ooh wah
I've been going through some pain baby lately
Ooh wah
Ooh wah
Stayed down
Down
Stayed down
I called my granny tell her pray for me
I kiss my kids head while they lay to sleep
My auntie tell me baby this your destiny
I hit rock bottom now he blessing me
Cause I've been through so much I stayed down
I've been up and I'd been down
I've been tryna get my feet up off the ground
Swore I had to learn to swim before I drowned
It been so much ways to keep me down
I've been going through it baby
Ooh wah
Ooh wah
I've been going through some pain baby lately
Ooh wah
Ooh wah
