Lyrics
[Chorus]
I keep my head above this water
I've been in this way too deep
See, these days are gettin' shorter
Nights get long, still I can't sleep
Even all this potent ganja still can't put my mind at ease
I need somethin' a lil' bit stronger
This music's my therapy
[Verse 1]
It go like, one more hit
One more rhyme, one more riff, one more line
One more just to make it right
Rush this shit, now take your time
Time show, records, more
Get rid of what's been holdin' mine
Problems show, killers show
Now everything seem black and white
It's clearer right now
I had to go get it right now
I can't just be sittin' around
Lettin' 'em down
Pick up the pen, I get down
Like I've been off of the brown
Even that off for the brown
I said, "Keep it brewin'"
I figured it out, we royal
We meetin' the crown for what we infusin'
[Chorus]
I keep my head above this water
I've been in this way too deep
See, these days are gettin' shorter
Nights get long, still I can't sleep
Even all this potent ganja still can't put my mind at ease
I need somethin' a lil' bit stronger
This music's my therapy
[Bridge]
Yeah
Look
[Verse 2]
Decisions I can't decide got me stuck up at the red light
Thinkin' of suicide 'cause the lows got me on edge
I still remember the time they only saw my complexion
Lookin' up in the mirror for more than just my reflection
I've been reflectin' on life while I'm workin' on the double
Second they hear my line, they be connected with trouble
Now I gotta realize even pain will come with lessons
Mama said, "Pay no mind, baby boy, know you's a blessin'"
[Verse 3]
I keep my head held high
I ride this soul inside
My speakers never low
The sound alone is gold
I know my mind's insane
But who am I to blame?
When music speaks to me
That's when I know I'm free
[Chorus]
I keep my head above this water
I've been in this way too deep
See, these days are gettin' shorter
Nights get long, still I can't sleep
Even all this potent ganja still can't put my mind at ease
I need somethin' a lil' bit stronger
This music's my therapy
