Verse 1
Since day 1 I said f-ck 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 Im well set out to sail
Someone called my cell and left a voicemail
That said congratulations on the million record sales
As Im flipping over furniture knocking sh-t off the shelf
I told myself Ill never get too deep not to take a breathe
But Im sinking
Chorus
And its so hard to breathe, yeah
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
It was all I can eat
But now Im sinking, so deep, I cant come up for air
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa
Verse 2
Yeah Ive seen the valley
Of the shadow of death, Ive 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 cant even count the days
That Ive spent, starving tryna find some decent housing
Thats why Im always smiling but on this beat I seem so violent
So ask me bout the music scene and what the f-ck I think about it
Time flies, I guess thats why Im bugging
Just yesterday I was rapping with my brother and my cousin
If you had the stove or toaster on you couldnt use the oven
We knew that we were struggling, we just acted like we wasnt
Its 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
Its a thin line and Im just tryna keep my head above it
Chorus
And its so hard to breathe, yeah
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
It was all I can eat
But now Im sinking, so deep, I cant come up for air
Bridge
Air, I-I-I-I-I
I sink away (Air) , I sink away (Air)
Cause I sink away (I-I-I-I-I) I sink away
Hey Hey (Air) I sink away (Air)
Get carried away, get carried away
Chorus
And its so hard to breathe, yeah
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
It was all I can eat
But now Im sinking, so deep
Damn, its never in the plans
But hey its a long way than beating pots and pans
Damn, its never in the plans
But hey its a long way than beating pots and pans
Damn, its never in the plans
But hey its a long way than beating pots and pans
Damn, its never in the plans
But hey its a long way than beating pots and pans
But now Im sinking, so deep, I cant come up for air
Air, I-I-I-I-I
