Mark Edmond - Afloat (feat. Paragon P & Maine1) Lyrics

Mark Edmond, if you didn't know...
I don't, know
When I'ma, go
But I gotta stay, afloat
Growing up, didn't have much
Corn Flakes, no Captain Crunch
See why I had free lunch
One of many that was out the bunch
Made it feel like the norm
Didn't know going through a storm
Shit, on the day I was born
Outside, it was probably pourin'
Grew up, rocking Faded Glory
No cable, nigga watching Barney
Or The Big Comfy Couch
On a big, comfy couch
Can't help but reminisce
Sometimes I miss, being five and six
Right before my parents split
And I became at risk
Up against all odds
Made plans, that wasn't God's
But, I kept the faith
Please, Lord, keep me safe
So, I can receive these blessings
Go diamond telling my confessions
Letting go of things I can't control
Maybe then, I'll be happy as I was before
I don't, know (I don't know)
When I'ma, go
But I gotta stay, afloat
Goddam, linked up with Edmond
Better know this pain and pressure
Lot of days I ain't have no dough
How I know, getting cake my preference
Few times, I ain't know where to go
Gotta flow with the angle selected
Can't rush, gotta wait on perfection
Swapping out my prayers for blessings
Got a few homies laid up and resting
Living life, hope Satan don't catch me
Right now, mind locked on major
Tryna make a way, no going back with it
Bust it down, put the work on the table
I'ma be a paper chaser 'til the last minute
Got locked one time, now I'm back in it
Got locked one time, now I'm back with it
We can't trip
Ain't no game, we can't kick
They want fame, I want rich
Shoot for the stars, I just hope I don't miss
Jump in my bag, jump out the mix
Jump on the track, know this bih lit
And it's all facts, we too legit
Mark, Maine and Pat
We got a hit
I don't, know (I don't know)
When I'ma, go
But I gotta stay, afloat
Ooo ooo, I gotta stay, afloat
