Above Water
Brittanie K’la Buggs is also known as K’la the Lyricist. She was born in Gary, Indiana, a small industrial town that also birthed the Jackson siblings.

Whether she means suicide, disassociation, or living wrong, I understand the feeling. Sometimes you want to take the easy way out because things seem as if they are so hard and as if they will never get better. She said that she almost drowned but since she was persevering, she made it. “It’s amazing from this view, I swear that you should see it. I swear that unless see it for yourself, you probably won’t believe it. Many try to get this angle, but they don’t receive it.” Even though K’la knows that she is in a good
