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