Tay White - Tread Water Lyrics

Often times we find ourself stranded
And feel like we on an island
When man, looks his destiny in the eyes
Some thrive, Over come all the adversity
And take themselves to a life previously unimaginable
Others shy away...
When you jump in the deep end...
Only one way to survive...
Tread Water

Kick your feet
As you try to swim to shore
Kickin for your life man
You gotta kick a little more
Your mentally exhausted
Your legs are getting sore
You just wanna do it like its never been done before
So...
Tread water
Look...
Tread water

Reflection in the water
The image all blurry
They say I lack race
So I'm always in a hurry
They say take shots
But with that I'm all curry
Only God can judge me
My peers be the jury
So I tread water
Avoiding my conviction
Camp fire liars
Bending truth into fiction
2 sticks crossed, like at Jesus crucifixion
I think they really started gaining friction

I am
What they want
What they can't do
Can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Imma do me
You should do you
And imma keep on grinding till it come true
I am
What they want
What they can't do
Can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Imma do me
You should do you
And imma keep on grinding till it come true

Mud's in the water
The image seems rippled
Stand for my thoughts
But they wanna see me crippled
So I roll out with...
Everything I got
They mean very little, but they seem to talk a lot
Truth within disguise
Truth within the lies
For half these new cats
The truth will be demise
Yeaaaa
It doesn't get much reala
I only want cheese like a fuckin quesadilla
Still I stay illa
Skin still vanilla
Wanna make waves as I'm sittin in villa
Natural born Killa
Shout Out Nykee Heaton
Trying to get the box
Like a mike Tyson beatin
Some took naps
Others started sleeping
Woke that ass up
Like a window when it's freezin
Yeaaaa
I can't be weeknd
Got 2 O's with my V
That's SZN

I am
What they want
What they can't do
Can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Imma do me
You should do you
And imma keep on grinding till it come true
I am
What they want
What they can't do
Can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Imma do me
You should do you
And imma keep on grinding till it come true

The water getting clearer
I see the image perfect
You know what you gotta do
But tell me if it's worth it
Is it worth it?
Tell me is it worth it!
You can play your heart out
It don't mean that you deserve it
Mr. Drop fire
Never drop nothin lesser
I was droppin heat
Writing rhymes on my dresser
Heart into pieces
I thought this would impress her
This would be my last shot
Imagine all the pressure
Yea
Ladies never gave me chances
Now they runnin back after failed romances
Now they tryna do me like the latest fuckin dances
But I'm just tryna paint my picture
Drawing on the canvas

I am
What they want
What they can't do
Can't tell me what I can or I can't do
Imma do me
You should do you
And imma keep prayin till it come true
