Jon - Stay Afloat lyrics

Chorus: Water rising up to my nose and fire burning under toes Where do I go, where do I go, where do I go Drama trying to bring me down and my problems want me to drown I just don't know, I just don't know, I just don't know So I try to stay afloat, I try to stay afloat, I try to stay afloat I try to stay afloat, I try to stay Verse: Pockets on empty and my Chevy is too But that don't matter cuz my Chevy can't move I Got a f**ing blown engine and my rent past due Yeah its late, like the period of that chic I last screwed f** was thinking, didn't proceed with caution What the f** was I drinking, got no money for abortion This is a portrait of a portion of my problems Still I'm trying to hold on like an orphan to a momma Fresh up out of college all I make is 10 dollars f** is a degree, swear I was better off without it Life is full of sh**, therefore my colonic is this pad Full of these melodic notes I've jotted want it bad And they say it can't happen Cause you live in Atlanta where everybody's rapping But I survived cancer b**h and everybody hasn't So I do it for my homies that are absent When that money calls I pray I recognize the accent Damn it if I don't that means I jeopardize my family Praying that a n***a don't end up like my daddy Hate him cause he left me love him because he had me Paying student loans to this b**h that go by Sallie Sadly I don't know what I owe this ho exactly Heading down the road to success but I'm in a taxi And I'm going to get out and run I hope that driver don't catch me Question Will they love me if my whip ain't flashy If my b**h ain't bad as f** and if my hooks ain't catchy Listen can't control what nobody think I rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I ain't Chorus: Water rising up to my nose and fire burning under toes Where do I go, where do I go, where do I go Drama trying to bring me down and my problems want me to drown I just don't know, I just don't know, I just don't know So I try to stay afloat…
