Lewis M. - Underwater Lyrics

Nigga
The only Earth underneath me is scorched
Dive into waters uncharted, Nolan North
This life... each breath is accompanied by remorse
Apologies with every exhale, but of course
Not bending to the force of anxiety's the movement
Like Stella wondering where her groove went
Sharpen up the knife that I use to cut through bullshit
Spit the kinda truth that only comes with tons of bruises
Nigga... This here is cataclysmic wisdom
The kind that's capable of shattering the system
Splattering the vision, cause a perilous collision
Of what a nigga wants and what a nigga really needs
And that perfect storm where the two begins to bleed
Is where you'll find me sitting atop a lightning rod
Scripting a manifesto into the f*ckin clouds
With my playlist as just a bunch of thunder sounds
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
Look around, and all my people are sinking to the bottom
So what the f*ck's the point of jumping in
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
Look around, and all my people are sinking to the bottom
So what the f*ck's the point of jumping in
Nigga
I'm no closer to catharsis
Than I was when I originally started
This shit. I know the whispers are vultures
Flying over until curtains fall
But, while I'm on, might as well keep dancing
Til someone sandmans me off this damn stage
My rage is pervasive. Can't tell due
To a reserved cadence that masks all
The chaos tucked in pockets of grace
I hide behind still
Like doing pirouettes through a minefield
Yet, why do I feel so at home here
When everything is exploding around me
I'm in a state of constant almost-drowning
Gasping for air that won't reciprocate
My embrace. I'm coming for the air that I'm owed
So, surprise morherf*ckers, I'm alive. Even so, I ask
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
Look around, and all my people are sinking to the bottom
So what the f*ck's the point of jumping in
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
Look around, and all my people are sinking to the bottom
So what the f*ck's the point of jumping in
Why can't I be stronger
Why can I no longer walk without burning the bridges I stand on
And, I never planned on my life being a mess
So, condolences to my potential, lay it to rest
Let it rest
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
Look around, and all my people are sinking to the bottom
So what the f*ck's the point of jumping in
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
Look around, and all my people are sinking to the bottom
So what the f*ck's the point of jumping in
What good is breathing underwater if a nigga can't swim
