KEEP SWIMMING from Swim by Dekay

I’m sitting here and I’m still drinking rum

Man I’ll be sipping some until this shit is done

When my ship it comes I’ll be flipping drunk

Come on and give me some

That’s a hit and run/



I’m the daughter of an English teacher and a freedom fighter

I knew that I was born to be a writer

As a child I recollect going to demonstrations hyped for Kurdish rights

And listening to the people conversate of refugees in flight

A Performer born performed throughout all my formative years

Never in awe of my peers

Better than all of my fears

My style is impeccable my life has purpose I’ve

Managed to function as an addict now its time to serve the light/

These chains are heavy though,

But I can shoulder the weight

My capacity for pain would send the coldest insane

Forever ready so,

Here’s what I’m owed from my fate

Leave the roads and estate and swim towards those shores that await/


You gotta keep swimming, the wave was winning from the beginning

Just keep your head above the water and you’ll be winning,

The demons in the DNA of every cheap sin and

It doesn’t matter though just keep grinning


I’m lying here, although I tell the truth

Been Drinking 90 proof

Since I was a tiny youth

And all my memories

Have floated far away

It’s been the hardest day

I wrote these bars to say


I’m the maddest prolific the baddest that did it unwrap it I’m back at it have a new gimmick

You braggers are finished I’m smashing your spirit

Time travel in capsules come back in a minute/

You’re dead, sixteen full of lead

Sick scenes through your head

Split screen true effect

Kids scream through the gangrene dreams of obscene fiends in their bed/

Man now I’m back on the street again

And in the manor I meet my friends

For rap and a natter we’re actually madder but back to the matter it’s deeper than/

Images of the genocide it’s been verified that your friends have died

And your dead inside

Blue tick for the battle ship that this planet is

Execution is televised

I’m beginning to memorise all the devils lies

Plus I met him twice

He was very nice

There were terms and conditions he specified/


You gotta keep swimming, the wave was winning from the beginning

Just keep your head above the water and you’ll be winning,

The demons in the DNA of every cheap sin and

It doesn’t matter though just keep grinning cause you gotta keep swimming

✨

It’s Dekay I speak from my heart fuck what you think

Always try my hardest still I’m learning to swim

Never drown never sink
