LYRICS:
“Still waters run deep… and cold. Let’s dive.”
[VERSE 1]
Born into the chaos, cradle rockin’ on the tide,
Mama prayed the waves would spare me, kept a pistol by her side.
Concrete jungle symphony, the birds don’t ever sing,
Just the echo of the sirens, cuttin’ through like violin strings.
Early mornings, cereal boxes next to a stack of bills,
Learned the math of survival, how to stretch a dollar’s will.
On the corner, I watched OGs pour liquor for the dead,
While they whispered to their demons, conversations in their head.
Movin’ weight, not in kilos, just the burdens on my back,
Every step a calculation, tryna dodge the next attack.
But the scars became a canvas, painted stories I don’t tell,
In the silence of the night, I hear ’em echo like a bell.
[CHORUS]
Cold waters keep risin’, I can’t see the shore
Every move’s survival, every step’s a war
I’m just tryna find my balance, keep my feet on the floor
But the tide’s pullin’ harder than it ever has before
[VERSE 2]
Dodgin’ shadows in the daylight, trust became a currency,
Fake smiles and handshakes hold a blade you couldn’t see.
Taught to keep my circle tighter than the laces on my kicks,
’Cause the ones you let in closest are the first to play the tricks.
Polaroids on the dresser, faces frozen in the frame,
Time don’t heal the wounds, it just reminds you of the pain.
Tried to build a bridge, but it collapsed from lack of trust,
So I’m runnin’ on the ashes of the bonds I had to crush.
They say growth is in the struggle, but the struggle’s all I know,
Every sunrise feels like debt, every breath another loan.
But I’m climbin’, step by step, though the path is never straight,
Turnin’ lessons into lyrics, lettin’ pain illuminate.
[CHORUS]
Cold waters keep risin’, I can’t see the shore
Every move’s survival, every step’s a war
I’m just tryna find my balance, keep my feet on the floor
But the tide’s pullin’ harder than it ever has before
[OUTRO]
“Sometimes the waves don’t drown you—they teach you how to swim.
But the water’s still cold.”
