Verse G#
Since day 1 I said f-ck the fame and everything it dealt
Cm
But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth
G#
But the wealth attracts you haters like you mosquitoes to a well
D#
And the waters getting deeper so I’m well set out to sail
G#
Someone called my cell and left a voicemail
Cm
That said congratulations on the million record sales
G#
As I’m flipping over furniture knocking sh-t off the shelf
A#
I told myself I’ll never get too deep not to take a breathe
But I’m sinking
[Chorus]
G# A# Cm
And it’s so hard to breathe, yeah
G# A# Cm
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
G# A# Cm
It was all I can eat
G# A# Cm
But now I’m sinking, so deep, I can’t come up for air
G# Cm
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa
G# A#
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa
[Verse 2]
G#
Yeah I’ve seen the valley
Cm
Of the shadow of death, I’ve seen the mountains
G#
The wild childhood, Thats why I sing about it
D#
I just try to move on and keep my peace about it
G#
But Come to think about it I can’t even count the days
Cm
That I’ve spent, starving tryna find some decent housing
G#
That’s why I’m always smiling but on this beat I seem so violent
A#
So ask me ’bout the music scene and what the f-ck I think about it
G#
Time flies, I guess thats why I’m bugging
Cm
Just yesterday I was rapping with my brother and my cousin
G#
If you had the stove or toaster on you couldn’t use the oven
D#
We knew that we were struggling, we just acted like we wasn’t
G#
It’s either make it rapping, if not that than hustlin’
Cm
So all I see is magazine covers in this game
G#
You either surface or you plummet
A#
It’s a thin line and I’m just tryna keep my head above it
Damn...
[Chorus]
G# A# Cm
And it’s so hard to breathe, yeah
G# A# Cm
And even more so to sleep when no one cares

It was all I can eat
