Otherside [Ryan Lewis Remix]

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

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)

And he just wanted to act like them

He just wanted to rap like him

Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects 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 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 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 twenty-five and move back to your parents basement

I've seen my peoples' dreams die

I see what they can be denied

And "weed's 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 supplyin'

That rush, that drug, that dope

Those pills, that crumb, that roach

Thinkin' I would never do that

Not that drug

Growin' 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 growin' 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 down

And said (down down down down down down down down)

Nothing
