G5                    B5
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa
G5                     A5
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa

 [Verse 1]
G5
Since day 1 I said f-ck the fame and everything it dealt
B5
But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth
G5
But the wealth attracts you haters like you mosquitoes to a well
D5
And the waters getting deeper so I?m well set out to sail
G5
Someone called my cell and left a voicemail
B5
That said congratulations on the million record sales
G5
As I?m flipping over furniture knocking sh-t off the shelf
A5
I told myself I?ll never get too deep not to take a breathe
But I?m sinking

[Chorus]
G5            A5                B5
And it?s so hard to breathe, yeah
G5            A5                B5
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
G5            A5                B5
It was all I can eat
G5                                  A5              B5
But now I?m sinking, so deep, I can?t come up for air


G5                    B5
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa
G5                    A5
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa

[Verse 2]
G5
Yeah I?ve seen the valley 
B5
Of the shadow of death, I?ve seen the mountains
G5
The wild childhood, Thats why I sing about it
D5
I just try to move on and keep my peace about it
G5
But Come to think about it I can?t even count the days
B5
That I?ve spent, starving tryna find some decent housing
G5
That?s why I?m always smiling but on this beat I seem so violent
A5
So ask me ?bout the music scene and what the f-ck I think about it
G5
Time flies, I guess thats why I?m bugging
B5
Just yesterday I was rapping with my brother and my cousin
G5
If you had the stove or toaster on you couldn?t use the oven
D5
We knew that we were struggling, we just acted like we wasn?t
G5
It?s either make it rapping, if not that than hustlin?
B5
So all I see is magazine covers in this game
G5
You either surface or you plummet
A5
It?s a thin line and I?m just tryna keep my head above it
Damn...

[Chorus]
G5            A5                B5
And it?s so hard to breathe, yeah
G5            A5                B5
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
G5            A5                B5
It was all I can eat
G5                                  A5              B5                              G5
But now I?m sinking, so deep, I can?t come up for air

[Bridge]
A5     A5    B5
Air, I-I-I-I-I
G5                   A5
I sink away (Air) , I sink away (Air)
A5                   B5
Cause I sink away (I-I-I-I-I) I sink away
G5                   A5
Hey Hey (Air) I sink away (Air)
A5                   B5
Get carried away, get carried away

[Chorus]
G5            A5                B5
And it?s so hard to breathe, yeah
G5            A5                B5
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
G5            A5                B5
It was all I can eat
G5                                A5
But now I?m sinking, so deep 

G5
Damn, it?s never in the plans
B5
But hey it?s a long way than beating pots and pans 
G5
Damn, it?s never in the plans
D5
But hey it?s a long way than beating pots and pans
G5
Damn, it?s never in the plans
B5
But hey it?s a long way than beating pots and pans 
G5
Damn, it?s never in the plans
A5
But hey it?s a long way than beating pots and pans


G5                         B5                     A5                         G5
But now I?m sinking, so deep, I can?t come up for air 
A5     A5      B5
Air, I-I-I-I-I
