Swimm (feat. Phil Swish)
When the lights looking dim
And your life’s on the limb
Sink or swim, sink or swim
No faint of heart, it’s obvious who’s playing hard
The outcome of how you end depends on how you start
Make your mark or fall in line and play your part
Never had a chance to deal a hand, just play the cards
On god, some would rather go fraud
And ride on every other wave like the coast guards
It’s all scheme, family couldn’t meet their means
Uncles and cousins who was too asleep to see their dreams
We still made them memories on them failed nights
Real life, close to jail nights
Them what the hell nights, running red lights
Cousin whipped the Cutlass with the busted tail lights
All burnt out with no place to go, you got no choice but to face your soul
If money equals time ain’t no wasting mine
Before you step out think twice before you take that dive
When the lights looking dim
And your life’s on the limb
Sink or swim, sink or swim
Indigo child, oh how you tell the signs
You’re the revolution rumored would not be televised
Prepare me for my purpose is what I’d often tell to God
Exploit me for my labor is what I tried to tell my moms
See that sneaker job only paid 7.45
3 shifts a week, 4 to 5 hours at a time
30 hours on one check, my n*gga, I can divide
To sum it up, all of this work ain’t worth part of my pride
These hands, they came prepared for taking all of my pie
I deserve more than just a piece of dough (pizza)
My knuckles ashy, see I kneaded dough
Pops, that apple ain’t fall from the tree, fasho
I’m really splashing in the deep fasho
Case ya need to know, nigga
When the lights looking dim
And your life’s on the limb
Sink or swim, sink or swim
