Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
[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 heavy
D
When you are underneath it
Em G D Em
Oh I want to sail away from here
C
And God
G
He came down down down down down down down down
C
And said
B
Nothing
[Verse]
Em
He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
G
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' hard
Em
Yep yep he had 5 up on
G
When he passed him that Styrofoam
D
The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
Finally got to see what all the hype was on
Em
And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
G
Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
D Em
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass
Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
C
Hot box let the bass bump
Take it to face, gulp
G
Months later the use went up
And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
C
But Goddamn he loved that feeling
Purple rain coated in the throat
B
Just so healin'
Medicine alleviate the sickness
Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
Em
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
G
Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
D Em
Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom
Couldn't get off it
Em
Didn't even think he had a problem
G
Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous
D
Room spinnin'
Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
Em
His eyelids closed shut
G
Sat back in the chair
Clutching that cup
D Em
Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name
Shook him, but he never got up
C
Never got up, never got up
G
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
C B
It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us
Nah, it won't be us
[Chorus]
Em
And he just wanted to act like them
G
He just wanted to rap like him
D Em
Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
Em
Blunt passed
G
Ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
D
The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
Em
Surprise, you know the drill
G
Trapped in a box declined record sales
D
Follow the formula
Em
Violence, drugs and sex sells
So we try to sound like someone else
C
This is not Californication
There's no way to glorify this pavement
G
Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant
D
Despite how Lil Wayne lives
It's not conducive to being creative
B
And I know cause he's my favorite
And I know cause I was off that same mix
Em G
Rationalize the shit that I try after I listen to dedication
D
But he's an alien
Em
I sip that shit pass out or play PlayStation
Em
Months later I'm in the same place
G
No music made, feeling like a failure
D
And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement
Em
I've seen my peoples dreams die
G
I see what they can be denied
D
And "weeds not a drug" that's denial
Groundhog day life repeat each time
Em
I've seen Oxycontin take 3 lives
G
I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
D Em
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
Cheatin' and lyin'
Em
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
G
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
D
Broken, hopeless, headed no where
Em
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
C
That rush, that drug, that dope
Those pills, that crumb, that roach
G
Thinkin' I would never do that
Not that drug
Growin' up nobody ever does
C
Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror
Like I can't believe what I've become
G
Swore I was gonna be someone
And growin' up everyone always does
C
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
B
Just keep me up, keep me up
Hollywood here we come
