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
