Otherside (feat. Fences) (Ryan Lewis Remix) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis |
| [00:01.19] |
Oh girl this boat is sinking |
| [00:03.69] |
|
| [00:04.80] |
There's no sea left for me |
| [00:07.60] |
|
| [00:09.02] |
And how the sky gets heavy |
| [00:11.93] |
|
| [00:13.12] |
When you are underneath it |
| [00:16.04] |
|
| [00:16.95] |
Oh, I want to sail away from here |
| [00:22.03] |
|
| [00:24.51] |
And God, he came down... |
| [00:29.97] |
|
| [00:32.84] |
And said...nothing.... |
| [00:37.30] |
|
| [00:42.16] |
He rolled up, asked him what he was sippin' on |
| [00:44.09] |
He said, "Lean. You want to hit it, dawg |
| [00:46.34] |
That's the same stuff Weezy's sippin' huh |
| [00:48.12] |
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard |
| [00:50.00] |
Yup yup five a bone |
| [00:51.43] |
|
| [00:52.04] |
When he passed him that styrofoam |
| [00:53.05] |
|
| [00:54.10] |
The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before |
| [00:55.77] |
Finally got to see what all the hype was on |
| [00:57.76] |
And then he took a sip, sittin' in the Lincoln |
| [00:59.92] |
Thinkin' he was pimpin' as he listened to the system |
| [01:02.25] |
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass |
| [01:04.52] |
Not the kind of hit from the kick drum |
| [01:06.45] |
Hot box, let the bass bump |
| [01:08.10] |
|
| [01:08.70] |
Take it to the face, gulp |
| [01:10.57] |
Months later the use went up |
| [01:12.18] |
Every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff |
| [01:14.69] |
But goddamn he loved that feelin' |
| [01:16.25] |
Purple rain coated in the throat |
| [01:18.08] |
Just so healin' |
| [01:19.11] |
Medicine alleviate the sickness |
| [01:20.43] |
Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost |
| [01:22.45] |
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin' |
| [01:24.74] |
Trying to escape the skin that barely fit him |
| [01:26.81] |
Tone, get another bottle just to get a couple swallows |
| [01:29.24] |
Headed towards the bottom couldn't get off it |
| [01:31.09] |
Didn't even think he had a problem |
| [01:33.20] |
Though he couldn't sleep without gettin' nauseous |
| [01:34.84] |
Room spinnin', thinkin' he might've sipped |
| [01:37.09] |
Just a little bit too much of that cough syrup |
| [01:38.82] |
|
| [01:39.64] |
His eyelids closed shut |
| [01:41.35] |
Sat back in the chair clutchin' that cup |
| [01:43.25] |
Girlfriend came and a couple hours later said his name, |
| [01:45.91] |
Shook him but he never got up |
| [01:47.29] |
|
| [01:48.57] |
He never got up, he never got up |
| [01:51.60] |
|
| [01:52.47] |
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us |
| [01:55.53] |
|
| [01:56.73] |
It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us |
| [02:01.95] |
Nah, it won't be us |
| [02:03.76] |
|
| [02:04.60] |
Oh, girl, this boat is sinking |
| [02:06.85] |
|
| [02:08.40] |
There's no sea left for me |
| [02:10.93] |
|
| [02:12.40] |
And how the sky gets heavy |
| [02:15.29] |
|
| [02:16.54] |
When you are underneath it |
| [02:19.10] |
|
| [02:20.26] |
Oh, I want to sail away from here |
| [02:25.53] |
|
| [02:28.06] |
And God...came down... |
| [02:33.40] |
|
| [02:36.57] |
And said...nothing.... |
| [02:40.85] |
|
| [02:45.57] |
Now he just wanted to act like them |
| [02:47.04] |
|
| [02:47.57] |
He just wanted to rap like him |
| [02:49.29] |
Us as rappers underestimate the power |
| [02:51.60] |
And the effects that we have on these kids |
| [02:53.42] |
Blunt passed, ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds |
| [02:56.77] |
|
| [02:57.52] |
The fact of it is most people that rap like |
| [02:59.62] |
This talkin' about some shit they haven't lived |
| [03:01.25] |
|
| [03:01.87] |
Surprise, you know the drill |
| [03:03.65] |
Trapped in a box to climb record sales |
| [03:05.56] |
Follow the formula: violence, drugs, and, sex sells |
| [03:07.62] |
|
| [03:08.17] |
So we try to sound like someone else |
| [03:10.18] |
This is not Californication |
| [03:10.98] |
|
| [03:12.03] |
There's no way to glorify this pavement |
| [03:13.94] |
Syrup, Percocet, and an eighth a day will leave you broke, depressed, |
| [03:16.26] |
And emotionally vacant |
| [03:17.18] |
|
| [03:18.31] |
Despite how Lil Wayne lives |
| [03:19.32] |
|
| [03:20.07] |
It's not conducive to being creative |
| [03:21.68] |
|
| [03:22.42] |
And I know 'cause he's my favorite |
| [03:24.43] |
And I know 'cause I was off that same mix |
| [03:26.72] |
Rationalize the shit that I'd try after I listen to dedication |
| [03:30.00] |
|
| [03:30.65] |
But he's an alien, I'd sip that shit, pass out or play Playstation |
| [03:33.74] |
|
| [03:34.79] |
Months later, I'm in the same place |
| [03:36.69] |
No music made, feeling like a failure |
| [03:38.82] |
And trust me it's not dope to be 25 |
| [03:41.11] |
And move back to your parents' basement |
| [03:43.21] |
I've seen my people's dreams die |
| [03:45.01] |
I've seen what they can be denied |
| [03:46.97] |
And "weeds not a drug" - that's denial |
| [03:49.03] |
Groundhog Day life repeat each time |
| [03:50.69] |
I've seen oxycotin take three lives |
| [03:52.92] |
I grew up with them, we used to cheef dimes |
| [03:55.26] |
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside |
| [03:57.62] |
Cheatin' and lyin' |
| [03:58.63] |
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind |
| [04:00.59] |
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside |
| [04:03.28] |
Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere |
| [04:05.40] |
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying |
| [04:07.12] |
|
| [04:07.89] |
That rush, that drug, that dope |
| [04:10.22] |
Those pills, that crumb, that roach |
| [04:11.84] |
Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug |
| [04:14.11] |
Growing up nobody ever does |
| [04:15.58] |
|
| [04:16.09] |
Until you're stuck, lookin' in the mirror |
| [04:18.33] |
Like I can't believe what I've become |
| [04:20.18] |
Swore I was goin' to be someone |
| [04:21.91] |
And growing up, everyone always does |
| [04:24.31] |
We sell our dreams and our potential |
| [04:26.41] |
To escape through that buzz |
| [04:27.49] |
|
| [04:28.15] |
Just keep me up, keep me up |
| [04:30.55] |
Hollywood, here we come |
| [04:31.86] |
|
| [04:32.93] |
Oh, girl, this boat is sinking |
| [04:35.68] |
|
| [04:36.76] |
There's no sea left for me |
| [04:39.52] |
|
| [04:40.80] |
And how the sky gets heavy |
| [04:43.73] |
|
| [04:44.80] |
When you are underneath it |
| [04:47.72] |
|
| [04:49.00] |
Oh, I want to sail away from here |
| [04:54.38] |
|
| [04:56.33] |
And God...He came down... |
| [05:01.66] |
|
| [05:04.51] |
And said...nothing.... |
