Chorus:Em G Oh girl, this boat is sinking,D Em There's no sea left for me,Em G And how the sky gets heavyD When you are underneath itEm G D Em Oh I want to sail away from hereC And GodG He came down down down down down down down downC And saidB Nothing Verse:Em He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' onG Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?D That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?Em And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hardEm Yep yep he had 5 up onG When he passed him that StyrofoamD The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before Finally got to see what all the hype was onEm And then he took a sip sittin' in the LincolnG Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the systemD Em Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass Not the kind of hit from the kick drumC Hot box let the bass bump Take it to face, gulpG Months later the use went up And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuffC But Goddamn he loved that feeling Purple rain coated in the throatB Just so healin' Medicine alleviate the sickness Liquid to fix and it comes with a costEm Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'G Trying to escape the skin that barley fit himD Em Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom Couldn't get off itEm Didn't even think he had a problemG Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseousD Room spinnin' Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrupEm His eyelids closed shutG Sat back in the chair Clutching that cupD Em Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name Shook him, but he never got upC Never got up, never got upG We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be usC B It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us Nah, it won't be us Chorus:Em G Oh girl, this boat is sinking,D Em There's no sea left for me,Em G And how the sky gets heavyD When you are underneath itEm G D Em Oh I want to sail away from hereC And GodG He came down down down down down down down downC And saidB Nothing Verse:Em And he just wanted to act like themG He just wanted to rap like himD Em Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kidsEm Blunt passedG Ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the fedsD The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some xxxx they haven't livedEm Surprise, you know the drillG Trapped in a box declined record salesD Follow the formulaEm Violence, drugs and xxx sells So we try to sound like someone elseC This is not Californication There's no way to glorify this pavementG Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacantD Despite how Lil Wayne lives It's not conducive to being creativeB And I know cause he's my favorite And I know cause I was off that same mixEm G Rationalize the xxxx that I try after I listen to dedicationD But he's an alienEm I sip that xxxx pass out or play PlayStationEm Months later I'm in the same placeG No music made, feeling like a failureD And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basementEm I've seen my peoples dreams dieG I see what they can be deniedD And "weeds not a drug" that's denial Groundhog day life repeat each timeEm I've seen Oxycontin take 3 livesG I grew up with them, we used to chief dimesD Em I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside Cheatin' and lyin'Em Friendship cease, no peace in the mindG Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces insideD Broken, hopeless, headed no whereEm Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'C That rush, that drug, that dope Those pills, that crumb, that roachG Thinkin' I would never do that Not that drug Growin' up nobody ever doesC Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror Like I can't believe what I've becomeG Swore I was gonna be someone And growin' up everyone always doesC We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzzB Just keep me up, keep me up Hollywood here we come
