What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Oh girl, this boat is sinking,
2
There's no sea left for me,
3
And how the sky gets heavy
4
when you are underneath it
5
Oh I want to sail away from here
6
And God
7
He came down down down down down down down down
8
And sailed
9
Nothing
10
He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
11
Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?
12
That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?
13
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
14
Yep yep he had 5 up on
15
when he passed him that styrofoam
16
The easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
17
finally got to see what all the hype was on
18
And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
19
thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
20
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as base
21
not the kind of hit from the kick drum
22
Hot box let the base bump
23
Take it to face, gulp
24
Months later the use went up
25
and every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
26
But Goddamn he loved that feeling
27
Purple rain coated in the throat
28
Just so healin'
29
Medicine alleviate the sickness
30
liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
31
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
32
Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
33
Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom
34
couldn't get off it
35
Didn't even think he had a problem
36
Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous
37
Room spinnin'
38
Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
39
His eyelids closed shut
40
Sat back in the chair
41
clutching that cup
42
Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name
43
shook him, but he never got up
44
Never got up, never got up
45
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
46
It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us
47
Nah, it won't be us
48
Oh girl this boat is sinking,
49
There's no sea left for me,
50
And how the sky gets heavy
51
when you are underneath it
52
Oh I want to sail away from here
53
And God
54
came down down down down down down down down
55
And sailed
56
Nothing
57
And he just wanted to act like them
58
He just wanted to rap like him
59
Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
60
Blunt passed
61
ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
62
The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
63
Surprise, you know the drill
64
Trapped in a box to climb record sales
65
Follow the formula
66
violence, drugs and sex sells
67
So we try to sound like someone else
68
This is not Californication
69
There's no way to glorify this pavement
70
Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant
71
Despite how Lil Wayne lives
72
It's not conducive to be creative
73
And I know cause he's my favorite
74
And I know cause I was off that same mix
75
Rationalize the shit that I try after I listen to dedication
76
But he's an alien
77
I sip that shit pass out or play playstation
78
Months later I'm in the same place
79
No music made, feeling like a failure
80
And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement
81
I've seen my peoples dreams die
82
I see what they can be denied
83
And "weeds not a drug" that's denial
84
Groundhog day life repeat each time
85
I've seen oxycontin take 3 lives
86
I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
87
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
88
Cheatin' and lyin'
89
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
90
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
91
Broken, hopeless, headed no where
92
only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
93
That rush, that drug, that dope
94
Those pills, that crumb, that roach
95
Thinkin' I would never do that
96
Not that drug
97
Growin' up nobody ever does
98
Until your stuck lookin' in the mirror
99
like I can't believe what I've become
100
Swore I was gonna be someone
101
And growin' up everyone always does
102
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
103
Just keep me up, keep me up
104
Hollywood here we come
105
Oh girl this boat is sinking,
106
There's no sea left for me,
107
And how the sky gets heavy when you are underneath it
108
Oh I want to sail away from here
109
And God
110
He came down down down down down down down down
111
And sailed
112
Nothing
