Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa

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 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 sh-t off the shelf

I told myself I’ll never get too deep not to take a breathe

But I’m sinking

Chorus

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

Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa

Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa

Verse 2

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 f-ck 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

Chorus

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

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 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

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-I-I-I-I
