[Intro] Yeah… Ain’t got much. Never really did. But I learned how to make somethin’ outta nothin’. [Verse 1] Past is a river of blood, I been walkin’ beside it, Every scar got a story, every loss got a price attached to it Current keep pullin’, but I ain’t goin’ where it guides me, Had the whole world turn its back, still nobody could divide me Resources run thin when you need ’em the most, Had to build with broken pieces, make a meal from the crumbs No handout, no lifeline, no rope when I slip, So I learned how to swim with the weight on my wrists Water at my ankles, then it’s climbin’ to my chest, Every time I catch my breath, somethin’ else puts me to the test Undertow grabbin’ both legs, tryin’ to drag me below, I don’t fight for the current, I fight where I gotta go [Hook] I’m fightin’ the current, feet planted in the mud, River full of blood, but I ain’t givin’ it my blood Undertow pull hard, I can feel it on my bones, But I came this far alone, I can drown alone No boat, no bridge, no rope in reach, Still ten toes down when the water gets deep Past keep callin’, but I don’t answer that shit, If the river wants me buried, it’s gon’ have to work for it [Verse 2] I know what it feels like when the pressure gets heavy, When the tank damn near empty but you still gotta be ready Had a pocket full of nothing, still moved like I had plenty, ’Cause desperation make a man learn to stretch every penny I don’t need a crown, I need room to breathe, I don’t need somebody’s pity, keep that shit from me I’ve been face-to-face with the things I don’t speak, Still kept my chin high when the water hit my teeth Current got memories attached, every wave got a name, Every ripple in the water got a piece of my pain But I ain’t romanticizin’ what the river done took, I remember every face, every loss, every look Undertow whisper, “Come back,” I tell it, “Not today,” I been dragged through enough, I ain’t lettin’ it decide my fate If I gotta crawl upstream with my hands on the stone, Then that’s what I’ma do, I was never owed a road [Hook] I’m fightin’ the current, feet planted in the mud, River full of blood, but I ain’t givin’ it my blood Undertow pull hard, I can feel it on my bones, But I came this far alone, I can drown alone
