Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Yah, yah
It’s just a minor setback
At least what I tell myself
When the plans all flop
It never does stop
Another road block
Trying to get ahead
Never mind on top
Trying to find joy in the process
But my wallet can’t take these losses
No more
I don’t want talk negativity
Into my own dreams but
But I get these battles that I’m fighting
Up in me
Why am I on this earth
With a gift like this
But I look like that
And it feel it bigger than me
Comments still bitter, I see
But I work, ain’t a quitter in me
Why my voice this deep
And my soul feel old
And reality weak
And I’m always in
Between
Wanting to leave
Ready to bleed

I got too
much fire
There’s a light up in me
I’m fighting, I’m tired
I hope these blessings hit me
Three bills down
With roaches in the kitchen
And eviction notice sitting
In on my living room floor
And I feel like
Giving up some days
And others feel like
I gotta give way more

[Chorus]
I light it up
I drink one down
If I’m lucky, no
I won’t drown
Today or tomorrow
I light it up
I drink one down
If I’m lucky, no
I won’t drown
Today or tomorrow

Today or tomorrow
Today or tomorrow
Today or tomorrow
Today, today

[Verse 2]
The water gets choppy
And the weather gets cold
And the beauty fades out
And the body gets old
And I
I know
Nothing is special
But I
Still grow
The high comes down
And the hype
All lies
And the fear takes over
And your heroes die
And I
I know
Time moves quick, but it feels so slow

Mistakes feels big
And there’s never much time
And I try to stay present
I’m along for the ride
Cruising
Struggles never last
They go on to the past
But the scars still left and
I’m hurt so bad
It hurts so bad

[Chorus]
I light it up
I drink one down
If I’m lucky, no,
I won’t drown
Today or tomorrow
I light it up
I drink one down
If I’m lucky, no,
I won’t drown
Today or tomorrow
