Swim Good

Lyrics

[Intro: 360] Uh Yo, yeah [Verse 1: 360] I'm being honest, yo, I think that I'm a good dude But I got no idea lately what I should do I just can't believe the test that I've been put And I've just got no choice but to be strong and push through Had a simple plan, now this shit is different, damn Unexpected negatives and everything has hit the fan I wanna run, but I gotta be the bigger man The shit that's goin' down has me feelin' like a little ant And if you really understood then you would not blame me And people seein' my success and see I'm complainin' I know my song's played every single day But apart from all the music, everything is goin' wrong lately And if you don't know me well then you won't know I've mastered the art of feelin' that I don't show And don't go and judge my life if you don't know Half of it is high, but the other half is so low And music's good, but unfortunately I've seen a standup family get brought to their knees Normally he'd [?] deal with it would talk to a beat But lately, that ain't an option and frankly, that is a problem You see I wanna write these words 'cause it helps But I can never put it out 'cause it'll hurt someone else Listen, so the pen is like my psychiatrist And the music is the only set of wings that I am flyin' with It's hard to describe exactly what I get from music I'd be a fuckin' nervous wreck if I ever lose it I've got problems and this shit is therapeutic I start hittin' rock bottom if I never use it I love life, but honestly, I'm stuck See, it's got me in a rut, I wanna run, but that's the worst way And sometimes it makes you wanna turn to drugs But the drugs are the reason that it's fucked in the first place [Chorus: Frank Ocean] I'm about to drive in the ocean I'ma try to swim from somethin' bigger than me Kick-off my shoes And swim good, and swim good Take off this suit And swim good, and swim good [Verse 2: Prime] Yeah They got us fightin' for control over somebody no one's ever heard of Swearin' on a bible that we don't believe a word of Too cool for a mentor, there's no one we can learn off This show's gettin' too real, I vote that we should turn off But every channel's the same, reality's changed You can't tell who's puttin' on an act for the game I can't tell if I'm actually sane 'cause people tell me I'm different when everyone else is exactly the same Or how even though I'm attracted to fame and people tell me "Shoot for the stars," all I do is practice my aim So you can say what you want, you can say I'm deceitful I can say in a song what you can't say to some people You been keepin' up appearances, I was comin' on slow 60 tell me "Tryna get my game on pronto" I was at the party, off my face on Cointreau I was tryna party, get my rage on: Rondo Career had a tag without a name on: John Doe If they identified it as dead they were wrong though It ain't a crime, I wanna live clean Doin' what I done best since I was sixteen I got a small opportunity, a big dream Tryna see both points of view like a split-screen My ears pinned back, ready for the future Till I get my cape on and everything is super [Chorus: Frank Ocean] I'm about to drive in the ocean I'ma try to swim from somethin' bigger than me Kick-off my shoes And swim good, and swim good Take off this suit And swim good, and swim good, good [Bridge: Frank Ocean] I'm goin' off (Oh, my pretty love) Don't try stopping me I'm goin' off (Throw me a line) Don't try saving (Broke my heart) No flares (Broke my heart) No vest (Drove my love) And no fear Waves are washin' me out [Chorus: Frank Ocean] I'm about to drive in the ocean I'ma try to swim from somethin' bigger than me Kick off my shoes And swim good, and swim good Take off this suit And swim good, and swim good, good [Outro: Frank Ocean] Oh no Don't die, don't die, don't die Oh no, oh no no Don't die, don't die, don't die Oh no Don't die, don't die, don't die Oh no, oh no no Don't die, don't die, don't die
