[Pre-Chorus]
Makin' moves, everything I say goes (Go)
Money change, but I stay the same though (Float)
Been on the wave, one that didn't fade, no (No)
Different day, but I'm in the same boat

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna stay afloat (Ayy, slide, yeah)
(Float)
I'm just tryna stay afloat
Stay, stay

[Post-Chorus]
We been up, we been down, we've been back
Can we turn it around before we crash?
Need to know, let me know, yeah, yeah
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Verse]
I gotta put my shit back on track
Been down bad too many times
Know that it's bad, but it'll be fine
That's just how it is, shout out to slime
It's a big war goin' on outside
Grab your lover, time to slide
Say your prayers, hold 'em tight
Give your heart with your goodbyes, I
I been in my feelings, need a drink
Singin' my pains while I'm listenin' to T-Pain (Pain)
If you took me for granted, that's a shame
Make sure you love me 'fore the world go out in flames
Hey God, listen, it's been too hard
Joke's on us, but why stop?
No more will, I cut up
I'm gon' dance like Usher
Count up with my brothers
MC Hammer, can't touch us
I put that on my mother

[Pre-Chorus]
Makin' moves, everything I say goes (Go)
Money change, but I stay the same though (Float)
Been on the wave, one that didn't fade, no (Float)
Different day, but I'm in the same boat

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna stay afloat (Ayy, yeah)
(Float)
I'm just tryna stay afloat
Stay, stay

[Post-Chorus]
We been up, we been down, we've been back
Can we turn it around before we crash?
Need to know, let me know, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
(Float, float)
(Float)

6LACK

Ricardo Valdez Valentine, better known by his stage name, 6LACK (pronounced “black”) is a singer/rapper from Zone 6, East Atlanta, Georgia. Born in Baltimore, Maryland on June 24, 1992, 6LACK moved to Atlanta at the age of five.

In 2011, 6LACK signed to an independent record label which created issues with releasing music for the next five years. Finally, after leaving the label he joined LoveRenaissance (LVRN).

Although many of his older songs have been wiped clean off the internet, his breakthrough record “PRBLMS” gained him a larger platform. 6LACK released his debut studio album FREE 6LACK on November 25, 2016. He released his sophomore album East Atlanta Love Letter on September 14, 2018.
