Mr. Wildenfree's The WILD (2015)

"Journey into The Wild… a sonic discussion on the duality of man. Venture into the calm, crazed mind of one who has to overcome his own internal adversities, and steps out to share his story. Witness the ups and downs and turnarounds of the one they call, Mr. Wildenfree."

10. Head Above Water (Prod. by Sean Momberger)

[LYRICS]
They only want your money when you don't got it They give you luxury for free when you got money ain't that a trip cause I'd love to afford it, but they never stick around when you on yo knees that's why we beg for head in return cause "bxtches" green they only like you if you make a whole lot of money… or at least that's how the media portrays it to be cause I've met quite a fine bunch of lil ladies and I'm just tryna keep my head above water and take my time to perfect my craft to make it last impression forever a favor; fulfill my endeavors There's no reason to debate on what we can surpass that's why we found the flow and zone in til we hit the end zone no Michael Vick but these dirty birds dance over dog bones And I'm just tryna save 2 birds from a rolling stone not too many hats but the league is where I called my home I'm Tryna find a dedicated wifey that stays in her dome One that don't mind when I stay in my zone Designing for the love of art and help me Get up and go Can spit some old bars with me like rigamarole Sure you can wear my snap but your Givin it back High five n be alright keep ya feelings intact I would stay but then some here would get attached And if you make me girl I'll fall out the sky and crash So make the most of the night Make a memory last…. (Chorus) and I just tryna keep my head above water Yeah, I just tryna keep my head above water and I just tryna keep my... (Verse 2) They only open fire when ya look like us… They be right there on the streets tryna wipe us clean Like look what happen to Dubose in Cincinatti It’s hardly on ya’ll screens, and they call what’s on ya’ll screens… Reality TV? And ya’ll wonder why I’m timid on these Tally streets? I feel it in my heart the fear is tryna follow me… I sought the bliss of ignorance man I can’t even deal with it cause fear came back around and Introduced the name Akeem…. I met my yute on a flight delay from JA A rising Soccer star with dreams of going very far… From the same hometown of the Great Marley And earned a full scholarship for his Athletics and no his hair wasn’t locked but I yeah kinda dreaded hearing where his connecting flight was headed... Right to the University of Cincinnati! And I just gotta pray for peace and silencing the piece that just keeps the reaper coming… hearing the percussion might give me a concussion adrenaline is rushing when I hear that (doot-doot) bussin’… Sure I can say a lot, but what’s really the cost? Be a father or a martyr the media lost? I would like to be a prophet but my soul is lost So I just pray cause reality is born from Thoughts... (Chorus) Keep my head high and my blessings to the sky praying for a better time looking for a peace of mind Gratitude and no other reflection written in my journal Cause the thoughts that I put out, are what I get in return Better lessons I’ve learned, isolated and yearned For the love all people all colors all creeds all fathers all mothers all sisters all brothers all lovers all peace prosperity Indelibly... look all I’m askin’ is that….wherever we individually, in our conscious state of mind… it’s time to take it up – One Time… And then…Two Times…. And then…Three Times… And I just gotta keep my…. I just gotta tryna keep my Head Above Water... And I just gotta keep my Head Above Water... (repeat) (OUTRO dialogue w/ my sister) [End]
