[ verse 1 ]
G
since day 1 i said F – ck the fame and everything it dealt
Bm
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 im well set out to sail
G
someone called my cell and left a voicemail
Bm
that said congratulations on the million record sales
G
as im flipping over furniture knocking sh – t off the shelf
A
i told myself ill never get too deep not to take a breathe
but im sinking

[ chorus ]
G A Bm
and its so hard to breathe , yeah
G A Bm
and even more so to sleep when no one cares
G A Bm
it was all i can eat
G A Bm
but now im sinking , so deep , i cant come up for air

G Bm

[ verse 2 ]
G
yeah ive seen the valley
Bm
of the shadow of death , ive 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 cant even count the days
Bm
that ive spent , starving tryna find some decent housing
G
thats why im 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 im bugging
Bm
just yesterday i was rapping with my brother and my cousin
G
if you had the stove or toaster on you couldnt use the oven
D
we knew that we were struggling , we just acted like we wasnt
G
its either make it rapping , if not that than hustlin
Bm
so all i see is magazine covers in this game
G
you either surface or you plummet
A
its a thin line and im just tryna keep my head above it
