ooh oh oh oooh
ooh oh oh oooh
ooh oh oh oooh
ooh oh oh
Since day 1 i said fuck the fame
and everything it dealt
But the fame is really here
just to facilitate the wealth
But the wealth attracts you haters
like you mosquitoes to a well
And the waters getting deeper
so i'm well set out to sail
Someone called my cell
and left a voicemail
That said congratulations
on the million record sales
As i'm flipping over furniture
knocking shit off the shelf
I told myself
i'll never get too deep
not to take a breathe
But i'm sinking
And it's so hard to breathe yeah
And even more so to sleep
when no one cares
It was all i can eat
But now i'm sinking so deep
i can't come up for air
ooh oh oh oooh
ooh oh oh oooh
ooh oh oh oooh
ooh oh oh
Yeah i've seen the valley
of the shadow of death
I've seen the mountains
the wild childhood
Thats why i sing about it
I just try to move on
and keep my peace about it
But come to think about it
i can't even count the days that
i've spent starving tryna
find some decent housing
That's why i'm always smiling
but on this beat i seem so violent
So ask me 'bout the music scene
and what the fuck i think about it
Time flies i guess
thats why i'm bugging
Just yesterday i was rapping
with my brother and my cousin
If you had the stove or toaster on
you couldn't use the oven
We knew that we were struggling
we just acted like we wasn't
It's either make it rapping
if not that than hustlin'
So all i see is magazine
covers in this game
You either surface
or you plummet
It's a thin line
and i'm just tryna
keep my head above it
Damn
And it's so hard to breathe
yeh yeah
And even more so to sleep
when no one cares
It was all i can eat
But now i'm sinking so deep
i can't come up for air air i
I sink away I sink away
cause i sink away
I sink away i sink away
Get carried away get carried away
And it's so hard to breathe
yeh yeah
And even more so to sleep
when no one cares
It was all i can eat
But now i'm sinking so deep
Damn it's never in the plans
but hey it's a long way
than beating pots and pans
Damn it's never in the plans
but hey it's a long way
than beating pots and pans
Damn it's never in the plans
but hey it's a long way
than beating pots and pans
Damn it's never in the plans
but hey it's a long way
than beating pots and pans
But now i'm sinking so deep
i can't come up for air air i
