Fishbone - Deepsh** Backstroke lyrics

Wading in the water and the tide began to creep before I knew it, I had blew it, and started to get deep head and shoulders under, watch my eyes burn till I weep didn't know I could swim, but I learned in quantum leaps It's like you got it on the tip top of your nose, the sh** you're in ain't turnin' outsmellin' like a rose this sh** ain't funny but you take it like a joke you've earned your turn, you doo doo doo doo, The Deep sh** Backstroke! Swim muthafukka swim, or sink in to the sea I tried to tread water, but it takes to much energy Doggy paddlin' in this doodee got me flickin' off the fleas You're in deep sh**, doo doo the backstroke, like you're floatin' in the breeze It's like you got it on the tip top of your nose, the sh** you're in ain't turnin' out smellin' like a rose this sh** ain't funny but you take it like a joke you've earned your turn, you doo doo doo doo, The Deep sh** Backstroke! The sh** you're in, ain't over, but there's no permanence of state that sinking feelings, got you reeling, thinkin' it's to late Up the nerve and your learning curve and manifest your fate It's stinkin' but you're not sinkin', in this sh** that don't smell so great It's like you got it on the tip top of your nose, the sh** you're in ain't turnin' out smellin' like a rose this sh** ain't funny but you take it like a joke you've earned your turn, you doo doo doo doo, The Deep sh** Backstroke!
