Drowning Tonight

We're not drowning tonight
 Baby, in a distance, I can see a light (yeah)
 I'll hold you closer 'til we're safe and dry
 Boy, I promise you (yeah), we're not drowning tonight (it's like I'm drowning)
 Ain't no bodies to be found and the sound of silence
 Seem so loud but meanwhile, I keep walking this green mile
 Hoping this nightmare will turn into a dream down
 And deep down, I feel it coming down in my stomach
 I can finally go from having nothing to having something
 All the nights that I talked to God, and I was praying to him
 And my family was starving, living off of rhyme and noodles
 You don't understand, I know the way that it feels whenever pills
 Come before paying the bills, sometimes pain's the only way I know I'm alive
 And I just wish I could be happy for a moment in time
 Then I hopped inside my whip and turned the radio on
 Lo and behold, the DJ was playing this song
 And for a moment, I ain't even going through it
 Because it all disappears when I turn on the music
 We're not drowning tonight
 Baby, in a distance, I can see a light
 I'll hold you closer 'til we're safe and dry
 Boy, I promise you, we're not drowning tonight
 This for the man who's got a record full of felonies
 This for the kid who lies awake, he cries himself to sleep
 He just wants to be accepted, sick of rejection
 He's sick of feeling disconnected and disrespected
 And this 16-year-old girl, find out she's pregnant
 Now she's gonna make a decision and hope she don't regret it
 Does it carry in turn and give it up for adoption
 Either that or abortion seems like the only option
 What would you do if you felt like nobody loved you?
 What would you do if you felt like the people judged you?
 And you so stressed out that you turned off your phone
 You don't want no company, but you don't wanna be alone
 So you hopped inside of your whip and turned the radio on
 Lo and behold, the DJ was playing this song
 And for a moment, you ain't even going through it
 Because it all disappears when you turn on the music
 We're not drowning tonight
 Baby, in a distance, I can see a light (see the light)
 I'll hold you closer 'til we're safe and dry
 Boy, I promise you, we're not drowning tonight
 Boy, I promise you, we're not drowning tonight
 Boy, I promise you, we're not drowning tonight
