dunn d - undertow كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
i was actin’ so triumphant, but couldn’t catch a break
so is that an act of fate or just a culmination of what my actions make?
so i can close my eyes, it takes me away to that happy place
it used to be the home that we made, but turns out all that was a masquerade
last year was a tough one, i sat back and watched my marriage break
self_medicate from my problems, but the drugs’d make ‘em exacerbate
out on the town, gettin’ smashed for days, if they looked at me wrong, then i’d smash their face
knocked a few gronks out, but my best mate did the same, think i got locked by the magistrate
sh_t, i guess i dodged some bullets ‘cause i been swingin’ punches
tryna keep my cool until they call me out, that’s when i bring the ruckus
when i was feelin’ down, i had to use the drugs as a pick me up
wake up in the mornin’, i hit the poison, that’s just the sh_t that i did to function
in the clutches of addiction, hungered for a different substance that’d give me comfort
then i lost myself into the waves again and had to take a breath as i begin to plunge
tellin’ me to rise above, i was slowly sinkin’ under
so god bless my daughter ‘cause we all gotta live for somethin’

[chorus]
and so i held my breath
before i sunk below
tryna stay afloat
caught in the undertow
and so i held my breath
before i sunk below
tryna stay afloat
caught in the undertow
[verse 2]
i was fourteen years old when i first jumped up on a stage tryna catch fame
six years from the last lp, seventeen years in this rap game
thought this’d be the easy option, my way of avoidin’ a rat race
but the gravity of it’ll way down on ya frame ‘til the point that your back breaks
i remember thinkin’ at the reunion, this is everything i hoped to do
standin’ on stage while they chantin’ my name and i thought to myself that i’d broken through
spent most of my life tryna reach that peak, but if i only knew
but when you get to the top and you look back down on it all, it’s a lonely view
i went from one of my greatest moments, a month later, i was layin’, broken
from one o’ the pinnacles in my career into the lowest point in my state o’ motion
my openin’ round was like a fabled omen that could see the future that my fate foreboded
went and dropped a verse about his mental health, when the battle was finished, that was my main opponent
minute of silence for the love that we lost, i had to take a moment
all the friends o’ mine i saw laid to rest, now my relationship had the same emotions
she was havin’ trouble stayin’ focused and i was havin’ trouble stayin’ sober
the same debates from where the blame was placed, we both made mistakes, but i’m tryna gain atonement
i remember sittin’ there at my dad’s house when he gave me some stern advice
he was fourteen when his old man dropped dead, so he dropped out o’ school, started workin’ nights
said bad things happenin’ to everybody, we feel the pain and it hurts inside
when we get knocked down, have to jump back up, keep movin’ forward, not desert the grind
now i’m headin’ interstate on an early flight with some money in my bank and a verse to rhyme
‘cause i’m thirty_three and i’m certain i don’t wanna be livin’ at my mum’s when i’m thirty_five
ain’t asked for a perfect life, we all end up in the dirt sometimes
i just hope when it comes to an end that the destination’s been worth the ride
[chorus]
and so i held my breath
before i sunk below
tryna stay afloat
caught in the undertow
and so i held my breath
before i sunk below
tryna stay afloat
caught in the undertow
