Underwater


Under water all this noise i feel like im drowning the only thing i hear is bullets sounding I walk past the baseball field and see this kid rounding third base Im trynna drop this case Im drownin Im drownin in the drama dont wanna dissappoint my momma Grew up in the hood no my life wasnt good. When i was young i was sad and i was always depressed The bottom line is my life was a mess I tried to end my life with a sharp knife It was something i couldn't bring myself to do My momma looked at me and said baby i got you. My momma looked at me and gave me a hug She looked at me and said stop beIng a thug She said promise me you gonna raise yoUr children right Promise me this get a good wife. THAT'S MY LIFE
