Drowning
2KBABY Lyrics

I'm drowning, I cannot escape my surroundings
I'm overwhelmed and trapped in my current environment, feeling like there is no way out.

They doubted, alone at the top of the mountain
People didn't believe in me, but now that I've succeeded, I feel isolated and lonely at the top.

Keep smiling, this money, it just keep on pilin'
I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and focus on making money, even though it feels like it's always coming in and piling up.

Like Fiji, my neck and my wrists is in water
I have expensive jewelry that's so blinged out, it shines like I'm underwater in Fiji.

These VV, remember I just had a quarter
I used to have very little but now I have some very valuable items that people notice and remember.

Wasn't easy, lil' bitch, I went harder than harder
I faced challenges and obstacles, but I pushed myself harder and harder to overcome them and succeed.

They don't know the game now, yeah
People who doubted me initially don't understand how the game works now that I'm successful.

They don't know about them late nights with the gang now
People who doubted me don't know the hard work and late nights I put in with my friends and colleagues to achieve success.

I remain the same now, yeah
Despite my success, I haven't changed who I am as a person and still maintain my values and principles.

Now I got some change, my nigga, I ain't never changed now
I now have financial wealth, but I'm still the same person and haven't let the money change me.

Love me 'cause my chain's hard, yeah
People like and admire me because my jewelry is flashy and expensive.

Me and Busta swervin' lane to lane in the same car
I ride in the car with Busta Rhymes, switching lanes and swerving around traffic.

Fuckin' on the same broads, yeah
We sleep with the same women.

I'm like Jordan, he like Scottie, we just something that you can't guard
I'm like Michael Jordan and my friend is like Scottie Pippen, we're an unstoppable duo that can't be guarded or stopped.

She ain't wanna fuck me, now she love me 'cause I came far
A woman didn't want to be with me before, but now that I'm successful, she wants to be with me.

'Member I was ugly and won't touch me wearin' rain gloves
People used to think I was unattractive and wouldn't even touch me unless they were wearing gloves in case they caught something.

Brazy how it happened, now I'm stackin' with the same squad
It's crazy how things turned out, but now I'm making money with the same group of people I started with.

All these niggas cappin', they be rappin' what they ain't are
A lot of people in the rap game are lying and pretending to be someone they're not.

I'm starvin', but gotta keep movin' the smartest
I'm still hungry for success, but I need to be smart about my moves to avoid falling behind or making mistakes.

Heartless, swear to God, man, I'm the hardest, yeah
I'm tough and ruthless, and I swear to God that I'm the toughest around.

Swear to God that I'm the hardest, they label me a target
Because I'm so tough and successful, people see me as a target to try and take down or compete against.

And I ain't even started, yeah
Despite my success so far, I'm just getting started and have big plans for the future.
