Still Swimming
Rising from Struggle: Don Greezo's Still Swimming Saga
Lyrics
Money in the bank, I'm saved now
Expresses financial security and stability.
Still can't get up out the game now
Despite financial stability, the artist remains involved in the challenges of life.
Big shark in the tank now
Metaphorically compares oneself to a powerful force in a confined space.
Like the anchor all I did was stay down
Like an anchor, the artist persevered and remained grounded.
Got it so they feel a way now
Success leads to envy or resentment from others.
Profit, money in the grave now
Accumulated wealth and success, possibly at the expense of others.
What more can I say now
Reflects on the achieved success, pondering what more can be said.
Had to let go of the weight now
Letting go of burdens or negativity.
I was going through the motions
Describes a period of going through the motions without a clear purpose.
I was drowning my emotions
Using distractions to cope with emotions.
I was swimming in that potion
Metaphorically immersed in a substance, possibly representing a coping mechanism.
Something had to change my focus
Recognition that a change in perspective is necessary.
Came from the struggle
Acknowledges a challenging upbringing.
Raised in the struggle
Being raised in difficult circumstances.
So I had to learn to stay with a hustle
Learned the importance of perseverance and a strong work ethic.
Started from the bottom, never looked back
Originated from a humble beginning.
Made it this far, never going back
Determined to progress and not regress.
Still swimming, still winning
Repetition of the theme of persistence, success, and continuous effort.
Still grinding, still living
-Still climbing, still sinning
-Still grinding, on a mission
-Still swimming, still winning
-Still shining, still living
-Still climbing, still sinning
-Still grinding
-I been lost before but I ain't never lost my way
Expresses determination to find a purpose and improve oneself.
Trying to get to heaven, ask the lord can I stay
-Still wilding but I promise I'm a change my ways
-I been grinding all night and all day
-Running through the city
Reflects on the challenges and experiences in an urban environment.
Driving through the city
-Living in the city, dying in the city
-All the things that's on my mind
-Pain in the city, crime in the city
-Eyes in the sky, eye on the prize
-Wise cause I did my time in the city
-Thought I almost lost my mind
Realization that love is the key to overcoming challenges.
Til I realized love is what I'd find
-Still I gotta keep my faith right
-Early morning to the late night
Commitment to maintaining faith and resilience.
Know I gotta keep my game tight
-Don Dada, get my name right
-Don cause I live the Don way
Self-identification with success and a journey from adversity to triumph.
From the bottom came a long
-To the top you know we on the way
-Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way
-Still swimming, still winning
Repetition of the theme of persistence, success, and continuous effort.
Still grinding, still living
-Still climbing, still sinning
-Still grinding, on a mission
-Still swimming, still winning
-Still shining, still living
-Still climbing, still sinning
-Still grinding
-Been lost before but I ain't never lost my way
Reiterates the artist's commitment to change and hard work.
Trying to get to heaven, ask the lord can I stay
-Still wilding but I promise I'm a change my ways
-I been working all night and all day, ay
