How to Breathe Underwater

Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles

No car, no license, I still got drive
And I'm still on fire when it's cold outside
Trying to survive, my enemies don't want me alive
But I'm not gon' sit back while these particles all collide
I'm about to pick up all the pieces and put 'em back together
Just to floss all my thoughts to ones that told me never
The water starts to rise and collect like a debt
By the time that it get to your neck you a wreck
And I bet that you let anybody pull you down
Pressure all around, muffled out sound as you start to drown
I'm breathing underwater like the Loch Ness
With old pirates gold that's locked in wooden boxes
Twenty thousand leagues where mermaids are topless
I'm one with the hour like H2O droplets
Slave to the wave, I belong under pressure
I bet you never expected I'd turn you into a specter
Body parts on a stretcher, heart darker than Dexter
Snatch the varsity letter off a Harvard professor
My money's marketed better than stock market investors
You at the Wal-Mart register next to child molesters

Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles

If one more old nigga tell me that life is a promise
It makes a liar out of everyone just to be honest
Don't judge my wits on stupid shit cause I'm speaking ebonics
I read you dumb motherfuckers, you niggas is phonics
Don't get hooked on, this for the days I was overlooked on
So let it rain, no umbrella for pain
I feel it down to the marrow, the skeleton what remain
This shit is Robert De Niro or Raging Bull in the game
I'm Allah, so read this like a scripture
I shook the whole world, think we need a new Richter
My own mind frame that's as vivid as a picture
Watch me captivate as I decapitate the victor
I'm on cruise, man, you artists just all in my way
Bury you alive and watch your body just rot and decay
Look me in my eyes while you dying, that shock in your face
Make me wish it wasn't Pac gone and instead it was Drake
Democratic pockets, campaigning with head of the states
With bitches who ain't giving head but I'm fucking they face
It's like I'm trapped inside a scale, I'm stuck in my ways
Devil want my soul, I'm just hoping he willing to pay

Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles

This sound fly like a Charlie Brown
Christmas although it's more vicious
I'm all about my business, I'm calling out you bitches
I'm rapping and we scrapping and I'm pulling out the stitches
Vanilla Godzilla, Ap's burning all his bridges
I travel underwater like I'm suicidal, soaking in a tub
Eyes open, feel the motion of the flood
Drag me out into the ocean, buried deep under the mud
I'm Moses with the flow, turn the water into blood
Like Carrie on the stage, y'all are barely of age
You should be very afraid cause Ap carries a gauge
And Ap carries grenades, an adversary that rage
And invades, I'm enraged, none escape, no one saved
I'm a wave, I'm a typhoon and everyone die soon
Saloon gun slinger pulling triggers at high noon
The rising moon that makes all of the tides move
I fuck a rich cougar, I'm just one of her side dudes
I'm in one of my moods you'll never survive through
Ap is so driven, you just work in a drive-through
So write a diss record that I'll never reply to
I say a voodoo spell and put a devil inside you

Make your troubles go away, blow away
Make your troubles go away, blow away

Don't you guys see? Don't you realize? He was a pro, he never
Made it this far. Look how far we've come. We got a chance
A chance at what? Getting killed? Look, if we keep going
Someone's really gonna get hurt, maybe dead. Don't you realize?
The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next
Time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. But right now
They gotta do what's right for them, cause it's their time. Their
Time. Up there. Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here
