Drowning

Lyrics

[Intro: Miles Chancellor] Hi, Manny  Tonight one of them nights I need for me I been pouring into the wrong things Might as well pour me a drink  [Chorus: Miles Chancellor] Drowning  Drowning in all of my thoughts and emotions And all the nuances I'm picking up on them Won't pick up my phone Tonight I need for me I was there every other time they needed me Burning the candle Both ends  I woke up And I burned the blunt at the wrong end  I know this fin' be a long night Time don't exist, so it won't end  Made a song about one of my old flames  We got closer when I had her open  I'm not alone, I'm a loner  I'm not a romantic, it's hopeless  [Verse 1: Miles Chancellor] I got some goals that need planning And then once I plan them  They can't leave my focus  Talk to Manny  He know how it feel  That's why that's really my brudda  We identify with each other  Driven by the love of our mothers  Me and Brodie We got in a huddle  Me and Brodie We got the same hustle  Anything that we got off the strength it's 'cause niggas knew that we got it from the muscle  I be hearing the rumbles  Time to make 'em Arthur they knuckles  I been had a chip on my shoulder No wonder some feathers got ruffled No wonder I'm back in my duffle  I cannot be modest or subtle  They often mistake that for humble  I'm the best  Ain't no stutter or mumble  Elephant in the room, I go dumbo  My vision is bridges and tunnels My stories been building from rubble  'Til my floor don't got nothing above it [Chorus: Miles Chancellor] Drowning  Drowning in all of my thoughts and emotions And all the nuances I'm picking up on them Won't pick up my phone Tonight I need for me I was there every other time they needed me Burning the candle Both ends  I woke up And I burned the blunt at the wrong end  I know this fin' be a long night Time don't exist, so it won't end  Made a song about one of my old flames  We got closer when I had her open  I'm not alone, I'm a loner  I'm not a romantic, it's hopeless  [Verse 2: Miles Chancellor] Tryna drown out all the voice in my head The people in my ear So I can differentiate between them I'm not explaining myself no more I tell them niggas I got my reasons  Some people around for a reason, a season Same damn time Shawty a blessing, a lesson  The last time I  Feel like I ain't learn my lesson  I mastered self-sabotage  I'm the best at it Pushing away people that want what's best for me  Or the best version of me  But that shit subjective  To know that, you would have to know my objective  And to know that is to feel all the pressure Of people that use you for stepping stones Vessels, credentials  They think they Jerry  Lorenzo, they think they essentials Came face to face with that nigga Was almost my killer  Shit get spooky for real I was standing in the mirror  I was parked up with some pills Got there with reckless steering  Turned my location off Ain't want nobody near me I ain't been tryna let nobody down Either seems like you going to clearly  That's why this Spook shit is deeper than rap I had to make me some food for my spirit Stop worrying 'bout who want this, who want that  Matter fact, this is exactly how I'm carrying  [Outro: Miles Chancellor] Tonight one of them nights I need for me  Drowning in all of my thoughts and emotions And all the nuances
