Treading Water

Certain complications make this harder
Certain complications make this real, Don't think I can make it any farther
Intoxication only thing that makes me feel, Swimming in the deep and treading water
Hit a buck 40 with no hands on the wheel, What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
With some luck my plans will surely be revealed
I'm seeing beautiful things, Women approach me with beautiful names
I get what I want, simple and plain, I'm a savant, I stay in my lane
My lyrics are different, the font is the same I listen to rappers and ask myself
Where is the growth? Where is the change? How do you sleep? I find it strange
Such mediocrity, Observing the game like Socrates
I'm taking notes, your girl quite fond of me I know it hurts to know when you at home and she front row
I aim high, you punch low, Fortify my destined road
I'm on time, you moving slow Cross that line, force me to blow
I hear some barking, take that talk on a walk, The sign says no parking, but I post up on the spot
Aligned with my calling, there is nothing that could stop
The longing I have, so long, I have truly fought
Looking back, vision 20/20 Looking back, I do not recognize that kid
Looking back, all I wanted was some honey, Looking back, now I was just a kid
Certain complications make this harder, Certain complications make this real
Don't think I can make it any farther, Intoxication only thing that makes me feel
Swimming in the deep and treading water, Hit a buck 40 with no hands on the wheel
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger, With some luck my plans will surely be revealed
Looking back, vision 20/20 Looking back, I do not recognize that kid
Looking back, all I wanted was some honey, Looking back, now I was just a kid
