Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama don't sleep well
She worries 'bout the kids all night
And the kids don't eat well
They worry 'bout they mama so they hustle on the side
[Verse 2]
Daddy workin' three jobs
The sweat keeps drippin' in the Buffalo sunshine
So he drives that car
Promises, "Someday, mama, we will be alright"
[Verse 3]
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
[Verse 4]
Sister's got a new car
No new friends, she got money in the bank
And everyday she works hard
She plays hard, baby knows how to drink
[Verse 5]
Her brother's in a bad place
Take prescriptions for pain to keep his demons at bay
So she, so she drives that car
Promises "Someday, brother, we gon' be alright"
[Verse 6]
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
[Verse 7]
It's pullin' me down, down, down
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
[Verse 8]
Every day, I pray and I pray, it feels like there ain't no escape
Every day, I pray and I pray, I pray that I find my way
Every day, I pray and I pray, it feels like there ain't no escape
Every day, I pray and I pray, I gotta find an escape
[Verse 9]
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
[Verse 10]
It's pullin' me down, down, down
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
It's pullin' me down, down, down
Sometimes feels like QUICKSAND
QUICKSAND's pullin' me down, down, down
