What did I do to deserve this
I'm finding my purpose
I have a feeling I know what it is
I'm finally swimming to the surface
What works when the work don't work out
I feel hurt my church done burnt down
No blood no take the bread
No love my faith was dead
So I built another platform
My homies asking what that's for
I answer I'ma build an arc
Why, 'cuz it's just the start
And in my heart I feel like it's time
When I do it wrong I gotta write my rhymes
Like I right my wrongs when I'm outta line
And I'm feeling strong 'cuz I changed my mind
It's not set in stone the way I thought it was
I would come and go like I bought a bus
I just wanna grow
And I wanna know
And I wanna show there's a lot of us
And we're on the cusp
What did I do to deserve this
I'm finding my purpose
I have a feeling I know what it is
I'm finally swimming to the surface
Have you ever felt lost in the ocean
In a way where you're not floatin'
Submerged, can't keep focus
Look around to see if anyone noticed
They didn't
Cuz you're in a bubble
Quickly you realize you're in trouble
Grab a shovel, try to dig your way upwards
But you're in the sea and that's not how it works
On the turf of Poseidon tryna find Atlantis
It's all fun and games 'til you're stuck there stranded
No land in sight
I could die tonight
So I sit and cry 'cuz that's not how I planned it
I went dancin' with mermaids
Like in Burbank
This is my brain in the first place
And it hurts right
When you think that it'll work fine
But it ends up not working at all
The abyss is darkness somehow I saw the light
I nearly lost it without fully knowing why
Holy water and soap
I wash the sin from my hands
Holy father and hope
I found the surface again
What did I do to deserve this
I'm finding my purpose
I have a feeling I know what it is
I'm finally swimming to the surface
