Vincent Boyd, Danny Cratez, Marquette - Waterways Lyrics

Yo
Give me a pen and a pad and I'm attackin
I'm never lackin
Do these flows so dirty that they ask for a napkin
Came in this earth not knowing what happened
Grew like a seed in the dirt, it's like I can see in reverse
I've been in this scene before, ain't no need to rehearse
On the path to bigger and brighter things
I'm not referring, to diamond rings
But all the joy
That life brings cuz' I refuse to dwell in the past
Most of y'all don't know how well you have it til' it's gone
Then you decide to look back
That's why I stay on track
If you wanna move forward you can never slack
Simple as that
But easier said than done
I been tryna stay present
As much as possible
Dealing with past pain, moving through these obstacles
Trying to realize, it's always mind over matter
Fuck what you think is important it doesn't matter, uh

Sweet serenity
So much ahead of me
That voice is telling me
(Try not to think about it)

Who here's a friend to me?
No one to check on me
Could be the end of me
(Guess I can live without it)

Sweet serenity
So much ahead of me
That voice is telling me
(Try not to think about it)

Who here's a friend to me?
No one to check on me
Could be the end of me

I'm navigating down the waterway
If I go, I'm going all the way
Just waiting on the Lord to call my name
But the way it ends is all the same
(It's all the same)

I'm navigating down the waterway
If I go, I'm going all the way
Just waiting on the Lord to call my name
But the way it ends is all the same
(It's all the same)

They get uncomfortable when I get out my comfort zone
(Yeah)
I used to cover up these flaws and now they're all I show
(Yeah)
I black out my peripheral now I'm in tunnel mode
(Yeah)
I know what lies beneath, that's somewhere I don't wanna go
I can't just sit here acting clueless when so much is known
They'll get up in ya feathers I don't let em' ruffle those
Might take a couple highs and mix em' with a couple lows
Just to cancel out a single problem with a double dose
And when that buzzer blows
That's when you know your time's up
Forget what's left behind us
You know just where to find us
It's not about whats on the outside, it's what lies inside us
There's no need for reminders
When it walks right beside ya
I'm flippin on my blinders
To blind em' from my mindless
Decisions, even tho we're forgiven by something beyond us
They clowning but that's not it
Isn't it funny how it
Happens to the weakest with it?
Let's see how strong you are without it

Sweet serenity
So much ahead of me
That voice is telling me
(Try not to think about it)

Who here's a friend to me?
No one to check on me
Could be the end of me
(Guess I can live without it)

Sweet serenity
So much ahead of me
That voice is telling me
(Try not to think about it)

Who here's a friend to me?
No one to check on me
Could be the end of me

I'm navigating down the waterway
If I go, I'm going all the way
Just waiting on the Lord to call my name
But the way it ends is all the same
(It's all the same)

I'm navigating down the waterway
If I go, I'm going all the way
Just waiting on the Lord to call my name
But the way it ends is all the same
(It's all the same)
