[Refrain]
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Yeah

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Precious (Precious)
Get lost in the essence
I ain't home, take a message
Logged out, you got too many questions
"What you think of so-and-so, Ab?"
I don't think of so-and-so, and
Don't you know my frequency is higher
Than telling truths on one too many liars?
Devil's got a fire for me waitin'
Heaven's gates are takin' time debatin'
If my soul is truly what I molded
Nowadays it's freezin' when I hold it
Had a heart, I think somebody stole it
Lately, I've been polishin' my gold, and
I don't know who should be proud of me
On the outside, everything is green
But is it from the storm insidе?
Guess the grass is green wherе I cry
Think I suffer too much for the art I make
Van Gogh hard with the way I paint
With an ear cut off, you won't hear their hate
It's a win-win
Hope floats so I let the tears cascade by
Take a deep breath, hopin' I can swim
[Refrain]
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Yeah

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Down the rabbit hole we go
Ones and zeros all that's in the code
More I learn the less I seem to know
The worse the dirt the more I seem to grow
But every farmer needs a couple hoes
Snake charmers fumble, I suppose
Fangs have probably left a couple holes
Mine are somewhere deep inside my soul
Poison ran its course, I'm now immune
Love and hate morphed into somethin' new
Just a concept, somethin' I can chew
I'm not into getting too consumed
Do I think it's all a rehearsal?
Know that kinda thought controversial
You could hold your breath 'til the last step
As of yet, I don't wanna go out purple

[Refrain]
Hold your breath
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hold your breath
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hold your breath
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hold your breath
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hold your breath
Hopin' I could swim (Hopin' I could swim)
Hold your breath
Yeah
[Verse 3: Abstract]
Speakin' of me locked inside the lab
Cut off from the world, I'm unattached
Message pop up askin' if I'm sad
Onto something, I don't think it's that
I've just lost myself inside my work
Livin' somewhere but it isn't earth
I like when I get to choose my worth
Outside testimonies tend to hurt
Socials look like Yelp a lot of times
Opinions try to box me into lines
People think you owe them something, why?
It ain't enough to let you all inside?
Every high and low that's in my life
Watch me sacrifice and roll the dice
And still you don't believe I paid the price?
Why?
