L.C. Rip - Sink Or Swim lyrics

L.C. Rip - Sink Or Swim [Prod. by Clams Casino] Why do we gotta fight? Why do we gotta spite? Why do we gotta bring our peers down to our height Like dynamite, words explode, and then they're outta sight Our Mommas taught us well, I know that, still we're not polite We're far from right... and yet we stay wrong And it's, not alright... just to hit the bong Cause it's, a sad song... when you won't last long Kicked out on the streets, from a place where you belonged Shoulda studied every cla**, til ya pa**ed, but you chose the gla** Drinkin all night, sleep in late, while your fam's at ma** Prayin that you make it, graduate the undercla** Find a job, and a spouse, and a roof that ain't no underpa** Cause you're hourgla**?.. that sh** is lookin grim The sand is fallin fast, the path insides no longer slim All the lights become dim, harsh waters, to the brim So in that very last moment, will you sink or will you swim? Uh - You've gotta swim right out the deep, dont give on up when it gets steep That's when you look right at your demons, and make sure they see defeat You've gotta get back on your feet, you've gotta stay up off the streets You've gotta dedicate yourself cause everybodys got some feats Go show the world what you can do, and live it up to its potential Don't just waste away the days, cause all you'll do is go mental Break it down, fundamentals, bust em out, those credentials Yeah the tides have been high, but only you can change the levels, uh
