[Intro: Musik]
I'm swimming in muddy waters I'm crashing with the waves
I'm brushing off the stardust Off of these broken wings
Can you hear me callin'? No, y'all don't hear me callin'

[Verse 1: Musik]
I got a way with dealin' with shit I've been feelin'
I let it buildup on my plate Give it a couple of days
Marinate in my pain then dish it away I take a fifth to the face
When shit gets heavy I'm hoping it shifted the weight
But I feel it drifting away Part of the reason I held
Back and didn't engage Just stick to my faith
Specifically had an epiphany Shout that whenever I pray
Like nobody listening I found it Interesting
Who was around whеn I was afraid
Keep it a hunnid these waters arе muddy But my heart is flooded I'm stuck to my ways I'm sinkin' in deeper and deeper and deeper
I just keep drownin' in my mistakes

[Verse 2: Juice Boi]
Sometimes I wonder, "Why try when we gon' die?"
I think of my mother and all she had sacrificed
We had each other, that's all we need to live this life
'Til my number is called out I'm still gon' ride
Out the muddy waters drippin hard with blood and sweat
Got the love from my father, music's all we ever had
Had to move a lil smarter I was livin' life way too fast
Turn it up I go harder pray God I can make it last
[Pre-Chorus: Musik]
I'm swimming in muddy waters I'm crashing with the waves
I'm brushing off the stardust Off of these broken wings
Can you hear me callin'? No, y'all don't hear me callin'

[Chorus: Juice Boi]
You think I wanna ride around with it
I live this life and doubled down with it
I know they wanna see me drown in it
No, I won't let them see me drown in it
Hell nah, I'm swimmin' through muddy waters

[Verse 3: Musik]
I bet it seems crazy, don't it?
Can't keep hatin' on it Take what's broken, Change your focus
Can't keep waitin' on it Gain control, Create your moment
Not much too lose But just enough to get you hopin'
'Cus they kept us hopeless
I got the weight of the world on my shoulder
My people are dying I'm searching for closure
The way we were raised our standards were lower
According to culture we gotta be soldiers
It's hard to be sober when all of my n***as around
Are down and broken as me
But nobody talks about it we just walk around it
That's the way that we chose it to be
[Juice Boi]
Yeah, Got it out that mud, out the mud I dug, kept it thug
At the bottom I was stuck, struck out, outta luck what the fuck
Hooked my own self up, did it with no plug they know us
Mean mugs and shrugs, pistol whip them sluts, Ain't no love
This for all my G's Who kept it hunnid with me, Ooh we
All my dawgs gon' eat Bust down we gon' feast Like loose leaf
Turn it up I'm a beast I'm livin' life like a fuckin movie
Still I'm gon' do me

[Pre-Chorus: Musik]
I'm swimming in muddy waters I'm crashing with the waves
I'm brushing off the stardust Off of these broken wings
Can you hear me callin'? No, y'all don't hear me callin'

[Chorus: Juice Boi]
You think I wanna ride around with it
I live this life and doubled down with it
I know they wanna see me drown in it
No, I won't let them see me drown in it
Hell nah, I'm swimmin' through muddy waters
