Em Em              G G       
Oh girl, this boat is sinking,
D D Em Em
There's no sea left for me,
Em Em G G
And how the sky gets heavy
D D
When you are underneath it
Em Em G G D D Em Em
Oh I want to sail away from here
C C
And God
G G
He came down down down down down down down down
C C
And said
B B
Nothing


Verse:

Em Em
He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
G G
Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?
D D
That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?
Em Em
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
Em Em
Yep yep he had 5 up on
G G
When he passed him that Styrofoam
D D
The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before

Finally got to see what all the hype was on
Em Em
And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
G G
Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
D D Em Em
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass

Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
C C
Hot box let the bass bump

Take it to face, gulp
G G
Months later the use went up

And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
C C
But Goddamn he loved that feeling

Purple rain coated in the throat
B B
Just so healin'

Medicine alleviate the sickness

Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
Em Em
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
G G
Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
D D Em Em
Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom

Couldn't get off it
Em Em
Didn't even think he had a problem
G G
Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous
D D
Room spinnin'

Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
Em Em
His eyelids closed shut
G G
Sat back in the chair

Clutching that cup
D D Em Em
Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name

Shook him, but he never got up
C C
Never got up, never got up
G G
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
C C B B
It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us

Nah, it won't be us

[Chorus]

Em Em
And he just wanted to act like them
G G
He just wanted to rap like him
D D Em Em
Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
Em Em
Blunt passed
G G
Ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
D D
The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
Em Em
Surprise, you know the drill
G G
Trapped in a box declined record sales
D D
Follow the formula
Em Em
Violence, drugs and sex sells

So we try to sound like someone else
C C
This is not Californication

There's no way to glorify this pavement
G G
Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant
D D
Despite how Lil Wayne lives

It's not conducive to being creative
B B
And I know cause he's my favorite

And I know cause I was off that same mix
Em Em G G
Rationalize the shit that I try after I listen to dedication
D D
But he's an alien
Em Em
I sip that shit pass out or play PlayStation
Em Em
Months later I'm in the same place
G G
No music made, feeling like a failure
D D
And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement
Em Em
I've seen my peoples dreams die
G G
I see what they can be denied
D D
And "weeds not a drug" that's denial

Groundhog day life repeat each time
Em Em
I've seen Oxycontin take 3 lives
G G
I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
D D Em Em
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside

Cheatin' and lyin'
Em Em
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
G G
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
D D
Broken, hopeless, headed no where
Em Em
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
C C
That rush, that drug, that dope

Those pills, that crumb, that roach
G G
Thinkin' I would never do that

Not that drug

Growin' up nobody ever does
C C
Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror

Like I can't believe what I've become
G G
Swore I was gonna be someone

And growin' up everyone always does
C C
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
B B
Just keep me up, keep me up

Hollywood here we come
