Keep Swimming
chriseanrock Lyrics

They threw me in the deep end and didn't
I was put in a difficult situation without any guidance or support

Teach me how to swim
I wasn't given the necessary skills or knowledge to overcome the challenges

Promised my family I won't drown
I made a commitment to my family that I will succeed and not be defeated

I'm gon' win (I'm gon' win)
I am determined to achieve victory and succeed despite the obstacles

Just keep swimming, yeah, yeah
I must continue moving forward and pushing through difficulties

Just keep swimming (Keep swimming)
Persist and persevere, don't give up

Kumbaya (Kumbaya)
It means to support and stay by someone's side

It means, I'ma stick beside ya (Beside ya)
I will remain loyal and supportive of you

It wasn't really safe to make it on my city
The environment I grew up in was full of dangers and challenges

Yeah, I watched my brother
I witnessed my sibling's struggles

Shaking and baking, soul the codeine
My brother was affected by substance abuse and its harmful effects

Nobody could answer our questions
We were left without any guidance or answers to our inquiries

What does it mean be fall on a depression?
What does it signify to experience deep sadness and despair?

What does it mean to lose
What does it entail to no longer have

Your parents to drugs?
The support and care of your parents due to their drug addiction?

What does it mean when you
What does it signify when you

Don't know how to love?
Lack the understanding of how to truly express love?

Don't stop swimming till you blue in the face
Keep going relentlessly until you exhaust yourself

(Get it) dedication either make it or break
Showing commitment can determine success or failure

I found Rock in a hard space
I discovered strength and resilience in a challenging situation

Looking for love in the wrong place
Searching for love or acceptance in inappropriate or harmful environments

A broken clock is right two times a day
Even something flawed or broken can be occasionally correct

Every trash can still get a stake
Even the least valued or deserving can find success or opportunity

I guess what I'm tryna say is just stay
What I'm trying to express is to remain determined and persistent

The grass greener where you water it up
If you invest effort and attention, things can flourish and improve

Moving on to July, started from scratch
Continuing to progress and rebuild despite starting over

Just keep swimming, baby, follow the map
Keep pushing forward, follow your path and directions

If you hear the song
If you understand the message or the underlying meaning

Then you on the right track
You are moving in the right direction

Me and twinnem, like Cody and Zach
Me and my close friend, inseparable like the characters Cody and Zach

Give me love, then I'm giving it back
If you show me love and support, I will reciprocate

Nothing less, nothing more, be exact
Be precise, don't settle for less or expect more

Hurt people, hurt people to max
Those who are hurt often hurt others the most

So much work to do it's hard to relax
There is a lot to accomplish, making it difficult to find relaxation

Falling back, baby
Withdrawing or stepping away from a situation, my dear

I ain't jacking that up and down
I won't engage in inconsistent or uncertain behavior

You my lil' sour patch
You may sometimes be difficult, but you're still important to me

In the deep end, knee deep
In a complicated or challenging situation, deeply involved

In, drowning in your love, see you
Overwhelmed or consumed by your love, recognizing you

Somebody got a little to the story
Someone knows more details of the situation

Finding Nemo, baby swimming like Dory
Moving forward persistently, just like the characters in the movie Finding Nemo

I like my bitch in the house like Corey
I prefer my significant other to be loyal and committed like Corey

God, please remove the things
A plea to God to eliminate or take away

That ain't for me
Things or aspects that are not meant or suited for me
