M. J. Withers - Chasin' Lyrics

Lately I've been tryna stay afloat
Feel the fire dying in my soul
Down and out I'm hazing
Drowning out I'm hazy
In the life I'm chasing

Pray for a lifetime voided of sin
To the lord every day yo I try to repent
Losing all to the fall while I deal with the flaws
I want it all, ask the Lord are there blessings involved
Can I explain?
How I deal with the pain?
All the years down the drain
Still deal with the pain
Heavy felt and I take the blame
No gain
Question if my heart's sane
Questing in the dark bane
Everybody asking for a meaning
Try to find an answer but the feeling's so demeaning
Take a shot of liquor then I'm fighting off the demons
Everything I ignore I abhor for a reason
Tears on the floor but I see my eyes dry
Look into the mirror hate who's on the other side
Won't lie how I wish how I wish I could fade away
Too bent out of shape to escape the fray
And I pray for a way out of all this hell
More days in the lab for the cancer cells
That they say that I have but they cannot find
Hope they figure out quick cause I'm on lost time
Don't know who to tell, I don't want attention
Ain't even like anybody gonna listen
Always alone here
Why am I alone here?
Always alone here

Lately I've been tryna stay afloat
Feel the fire dying in my soul
Down and out I'm hazing
Drowning out I'm hazy
In the life I'm chasing

Caught in this whirlwind spinning like hold up
Feeling hopeless losing focus holed up
Said it in my mind how it seems to go
Keep the hammer on grind they don't need to know
Let it burn if I say so
Burn if I say so
Roll around in this spot
Watch me hold it down in my plot
If I see another nigga start ruffling figures
I swear to God I might pop
I ain't gonna flex to test, I might break your neck
I might cave your chest in this lot
I need to keep it cool, need to simmer down
Cause I ain't gonna be a fool but I'm breaking down
Light's getting dimmer now
Run with it? Escape fate? I'm in it
I've been living in the dark
I let sparks emitting
Good riddance, if I were to die kill me today
I equate what I nullify, leave me to lay
Hey, I've been bugging, tryna maintain
Will I curb anything if I swerve in the lane?
Try to confide, I apply all the realness
Pour up the shots on the rocks till I feel this
Plagued by the passion, heart of assassins
If they wanna jump, let them jump, I'm blasting
To another level where I really need to settle
Put the pedal to the medal
Try to reach a state to fettle
Pleading that I don't drain
Fiending for the remedies
Speeding down the fast lane
See my friends as enemies
And those kin to me
Losing my patience
Hung by a thin line
See my world wasting
Gone

Lately I've been tryna stay afloat
Feel the fire dying in my soul
Down and out I'm hazing
Drowning out I'm hazy
In the life I'm chasing
Lately I've been tryna stay afloat
Feel the fire dying in my soul
Down and out I'm hazing
Drowning out I'm hazy
In the life I'm chasing
