Chorus Pluck For the Beginning Chorus It sounds a bit more like the original song
Em G
Oh girl this boat is sinking
D Em
There's no sea left for me
Em G
And how the sky gets heavy
D
When you are underneath it
Em G D Em
Oh I want to sail away from here
C
And God
G
He came down down down down down down down down Strum for this part and strum for the next line
like you do this as if it is repeating said like it does down
C
And said
Do nothing as two syllables and strum on each beat with it no-thing
B
Nothing
Verse:
Em
He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
G
Said lean you wanna hit it dawg
D
That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh
Em
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
Em
Yep yep he had up on
G
When he passed him that Styrofoam
D
The Easter pink heard it in a rhyme before
Finally got to see what all the hype was on
Em
And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
G
Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
D Em
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass
Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
C
Hot box let the bass bump
Take it to face gulp
G
Months later the use went up
And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
C
But Goddamn he loved that feeling
Purple rain coated in the throat
B
Just so healin'
Medicine alleviate the sickness
Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
Em
Wake up cold sweat scratchin' itchin'
G
Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
D Em
Gone get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom
Couldn't get off it
Em
Didn't even think he had a problem
G
Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous
D
Room spinnin'
Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
Em
His eyelids closed shut
G
Sat back in the chair
Clutching that cup
D Em
Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name
Shook him but he never got up
C
Never got up never got up
G
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
C B
It won't be us it won't be us it won't be us
Nah it won't be us
Chorus:
Em G
Oh girl this boat is sinking
D Em
There's no sea left for me
Em G
And how the sky gets heavy
D
When you are underneath it
Em G D Em
Oh I want to sail away from here
C
And God
G
He came down down down down down down down down
C
And said
B
Nothing
Verse:
Em
And he just wanted to act like them
G
He just wanted to rap like him
D Em
Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
Em
Blunt passed
G
Ash in a tin pack being pushed harassed by the feds
D
The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some xxxx they haven't lived
Em
Surprise you know the drill
G
Trapped in a box declined record sales
D
Follow the formula
Em
Violence drugs and xxx sells
So we try to sound like someone else
C
This is not Californication
There's no way to glorify this pavement
G
Syrup percocet and an eighth day will leave you broke depressed and emotionally vacant
D
Despite how Lil Wayne lives
It's not conducive to being creative
B
And I know cause he's my favorite
And I know cause I was off that same mix
Em G
Rationalize the xxxx that I try after I listen to dedication
D
But he's an alien
Em
I sip that xxxx pass out or play PlayStation
Em
Months later I'm in the same place
G
No music made feeling like a failure
D
And trust me it's not dope to be and move back to your parents basement
Em
I've seen my peoples dreams die
G
I see what they can be denied
D
And weeds not a drug that's denial
Groundhog day life repeat each time
Em
I've seen Oxycontin take 3 lives
G
I grew up with them we used to chief dimes
D Em
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
Cheatin' and lyin'
Em
Friendship cease no peace in the mind
G
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
D
Broken hopeless headed no where
Em
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
C
That rush that drug that dope
Those pills that crumb that roach
G
Thinkin' I would never do that
Not that drug
Growin' up nobody ever does
C
Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror
Like I can't believe what I've become
G
Swore I was gonna be someone
And growin' up everyone always does
C
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
B
Just keep me up keep me up
Hollywood here we come
Mad Love
Mad Season
Madalina Manole
Madame Kay
Madame Monsieur
