Swimming With Sharks Lyrics - Flame

I been lied on blackballed never said a thing wait 

Wait let me set the scene it's been over ten years now 

Swimming in the water with great white tiger like 

Hammer head sharks I've been overlooked underpaid 

Never said a thing seen brother kill brother like 

Abel and Cain everything ain't what it seems 

When you see behind the scenes it's a pretty scary thing 

When you see who pulling strings I done seen them sharp teeth 

Looking deep in the sharks eyes all I could do is pray 

I was prey in the sharks eyes I just wanna rap for God 

Wanna see some people saved but I am so afraid 

If my publishing saved see royalty pave this they break up 

Royalty's fakeness since I started in the basement 

I've been royalty shaded I got power doom 

Threatened to blackball you know who you are 

Cause I said I wouldn't sign with y'all why you wanna 

See the flame fall is that what you in the game for 

Some people that doubt us game over you should really be 

Ashamed you can be a pain need to be tamed 

Dang bro take my kindness as weakness 

Up execs said to tweet this 

Have to tweet this rapping less about Jesus 

It's overwhelming the greed just when you see 

All the greediness capitalism at it's finest well 

You can break the glass ceiling be a slave and 

Just sign this 

Swimming in this industry ain't just with the fishes 

You swimming with the bloodthirsty fame seeking 

Vicious cold hearted selfish minded sneaky 

Opportunist who will call you up and then 

Tell them they be foolish if they whoop you 

Cause they always bring a better show 

If you coming in this ocean even if you got a boat 

There's some people that's aboard that's ready to 

Overthrow if you don't know how to swim at least 

You better float cause these sharks smell weakness 

They'll eat you alive I know that you was thinking 

That we doing this for God well surprise 

Certain guys coming for your neck 

Bring something to the table 

They'll steal your connect take credit for it 

Discredit you and benefit from your blood 

The smell starts it's liable to disrespect 

We would rather this see a threat and keep going 

All on and you see them jaws out 

Better know them jaws out woo

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

What I been through only God Knows 

All them long nights only God Knows 

Will I be alright only God Knows 

Got me questioning the life here that I chose 

What I been through only God Knows 

All them long nights only God Knows 

Will I be alright only God Knows 

I'm just trying to stay afloat 

Yeah so much slander so much dealing 

While you swimming guard your heart 

May you never compromise fall apart 

And become a shark every time 

When they plottin' micromise, and they scheme 

Then I cry Most High and my God intervenes 

With a ram and a bush and He fights all my battles 

And they rob and they push with all their might 

But it don't matter cause He guards shields 

Rescues saves you just stay faithful 

Pray pray you'll get your reward 

Don't you ever change 

Focus on the Lord yeah 

Keep reaching His grace 

Keep telling the world that our Jesus saves 

And we be talking and it's all gonna pass away 

Just keep it pushing

Just keep swimming just keep swimming 

Just keep swimming just keep swimming 

Just keep swimming just keep swimming 

Just keep swimming just keep swimming
