Tinashe - Staying Afloat lyrics

Red bottoms to announce my arrival
Click clicking on that blacked out tile
I see em looking so I smile, all the while
Thinking you know I know
That even you doubted I would ever make it
Baby eat your heart out
Tell me can you take it
Going too hard tryna get right
I be having blue dreams, up all night
I'm, straight shuttin it down with my chin up
Heard so many times I should give up
Now they gonna talk shit more than ever
'Sum inside won't quit, I remember

Knowing where the wind will
Blow is impossible
When you're still in the sky
You gotta just let it blow just let it blow
Just let it blow just let it blow
Knowing where the river goes is impossible
When you're still in the water
Gotta just let it flow just let it flow
And an indestructible faith Imma make it
Oh, is what keeps me afloat

So you're going to school I'm assuming?
Uh, no, I spend full-time on my music
People get so scared when they hear that
Why can't I be young and independent?
Face it i'm a fucking monster
Nothings gonna stop me i will never falter
Say it like tinashe yes it's from zimbabwe
Better start to practice
You'll mention me all day one day
Don't you see what's wrong with the system?
These are the rules, shut up and obey them
Brainwash the babies
Teach them the same stuff
Limit their minds so we all stay in line, so

Knowing where the wind will
Blow is impossible
When you're still in the sky
You gotta just let it blow just let it blow
Just let it blow just let it blow
Knowing where the river goes is impossible
When you're still in the water
Gotta just let it flow just let it flow
And an indestructible faith Imma make it
Oh, is what keeps me afloat

I am floating yeah i am floating yeah
I am floating yeah
Tryna stay afloat but the river's so deep
Tryna stay afloat but the
Current's pulling me, oh
Tryna stay afloat as it drags me out to sea
Tryna stay afloat, better swim gotta breathe
Oh tryna stay afloat but the river's so deep
Tryna stay afloat but the
Current's pulling me, oh
Tryna stay afloat as it drags me out to sea
Tryna stay afloat, better swim gotta breathe
Oh

Knowing where the wind will
Blow is impossible
When you're still in the sky
You gotta just let it blow just let it blow
Just let it blow just let it blow
Knowing where the river goes is impossible
When you're still in the water
Gotta just let it flow just let it flow
And an indestructible faith Imma make it
Oh, is what keeps me afloat
