So hard to breathe

[Verse 1]
Since day 1 I said f-ck the fame and everything it dealt
But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth
But the wealth attracts you haters like you mosquitoes to a well
And the waters getting deeper so I´m well set out to sail
Someone called my cell and left a voicemail
That said congratulations on the million record sales
As I´m flipping over furniture knocking sh-t off the shelf
I told myself I´ll never get too deep not to take a breathe
But I´m sinking
[Hook]
And it´s so hard to breathe, yeah
And even more so to sleep when no one cares
It was all I can eat
But now I´m sinking
So deep, I can´t come up for air
[Verse 2]
Yeah I´ve seen the valley of the shadow of death
I´ve seen the mountains, the wild childhood
Thats why I sing about it
I just try to move on and keep my peace about it
But Come to think about it I can´t even count the days that I´ve spent, starving tryna find some decent housing
That´s why I´m always smiling but on this beat I seem so violent
So ask me ´bout the music scene and what the f-ck I think about it
Time flies, I guess thats why I´m bugging
Just yesterday I was rapping with my brother and my cousin
If you had the stove or toaster on you couldn´t use the oven
We knew that we were struggling, we just acted like we wasn´t
It´s either make it rapping, if not that than hustlin´
So all I see is magazine covers in this game
You either surface or you plummet
It´s a thin line and I´m just tryna keep my head above it
Damn...
[Hook]
And it´s so hard to breathe
And even more so to sleep when no-one cares
It was all I can eat
But now I´m sinking, so deep, I can´t come up for air
[Bridge]
Air, I-I-I
I sink away, cause I sink away
I sink away
I sink away, I sink away
Get carried away, get carried away
[Hook]
And it´s so hard to breathe
And even more so to sleep when no-one cares
It was all I can eat
But now I´m sinking, so deep, I can´t come up for air
Damn, it´s never in the plans, but hey it´s a long way than beating pots and pans (x3)
But now I´m sinking, so deep, I can´t come up for air, air
Since day 1 I said f-ck the fame and everything it dealt
But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth
But the wealth attracts you haters like you mosquitoes to a well
