Strum
D-DU-UDU
Pa  pa pa pa, pa la pa  pa
Pa  pa pa pa, pa la pa
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
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
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
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
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
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
