Otherside (feat. Fences) [Ryan Lewis Remix]

Oh girl, this boat is sinking
 There's no sea left for me
 And how the sky gets heavy
 When you are underneath it!
 Oh. I want to sail away from here.
 And god. He came down down down down down down down down
 And said (down down down down down down down down)
 Nothing (down down down down down down down down)
 He rolled up, asked him what he was sippin' on
 He said lean, You want to hit it, dawg?
 That's the same stuff Weezy's sippin' huh?
 And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard,
 Yup yup five a bone
 When he passed him that Styrofoam the Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
 Finally got to see what all the hype was on
 And then he took a sip, sittin' in the Lincoln thinkin' he was pimpin' as he listen
 to the system
 Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass
 Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
 Hot box, let the bass bump
 Take it to the face, gulp
 Months later the use went up
 Every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
 But Goddamn he loved that feelin'
 Purple rain coated in the throat
 Just so healin'
 Medicine alleviate the sickness
 Liquid affix and it comes with a cost
 Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
 Trying to escape the skin that barely fit him
 Gone, get another bottle just to get a couple swallows
 Headed towards the bottom couldn't get off it
 Didn't even think he had a problem
 Though he couldn't sleep without gettin' nauseous
 Room spinnin',
 thinkin' he might've sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
 His eyelids closed shut
 Sat back in the chair clutchin' that cup
 Girlfriend came and a couple hours later said his name shim but he never got up
 He never got up, he never got up
 We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
 It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us
 Nah, it won't be us
 Oh girl, this boat is sinking
 There's no sea left for me
 And how the sky gets heavy
 When you are underneath it!
 Oh. I want to sail away from here.
 And god. He came down down down down down down down down
 And said (down down down down down down down down)
 Nothing (down down down down down down down down)
 He just wanted to act like them
 He just wanted to rap like him
 Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects that we have on these kids
 Blunt passed, ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
 The fact of it is most people that rap like this
 talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
 Surprise, you know the drill
 Trapped in a box, declined record sales
 Follow the formula violence, drugs, and, sex sells
 So we try to sound like someone else
 This is not Californication
 There's no way to glorify this pavement
 Syrup, Percocet, and an eighth a day will leave you
 broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant
 Despite how Lil Wayne lives
 It's not conducive to being creative
 And I know 'cause he's my favorite
 And I know 'cause I was off that same mix
 Rationalize the shit that I'd try after I listen to dedication
 But he's an alien, I'd sip that shit, pass out or play Playstation
 Months later I'm in the same place
 No music made, feeling like a failure
 And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parent's basement
 I've seen my people's dreams die
 I've seen what they can be denied
 And "weeds not a drug" - that's denial
 Groundhog Day life repeat each time
 I've seen Oxycontin take three lives
 I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
 I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
 Cheatin' and lyin'
 Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
 Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
 Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
 Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying
 That rush, that drug, that dope
 Those pills, that crumb, that roach
 Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug
 And growing up nobody ever does
 Until you're stuck, lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I've become
 Swore I was gonna be someone
 And growing up everyone always does
 We sell our dreams and our potential
 To escape through that buzz
 Just keep me up, keep me up
 Hollywood here we come
 Oh girl this boat is sinking
 There's no sea left for me
 And how the sky gets heavy
 When you are underneath it
 Oh, I want to sail away from here
 And god. He came down down down down down down down
 And said
 Nothing
