So Hard To Breathe - B o B
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
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
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…
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
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
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
damn it s never in the plans but hey it s a long way
than beating pots and pans
damn it s never in the plans but hey it s a long way
than beating pots and pans
damn it s never in the plans but hey it s a long way
than beating pots and pans
damn it s never in the plans but hey it s a long way
than beating pots and pans
but now i m sinking so deep i can t come up for air air
