The Roots - Lighthouse lyrics

(feat. Dice Raw) [Intro: Dice Raw] If you can't swizzim then ya bound to drizzown Pa**ing out life jackets bout to go didown Get down with the captain or go down with the ship Before the dark abyss I'm gon' hit you wit' dis [repeat] [Hook: Dice Raw] And no one's in the lighthouse You're face down in the ocean And no one's in the lighthouse And it seems like you just screamed It's no one there to hear the sound And it may feel like there's no one there That cares if you drown Face down in the ocean [Verse 1: Dice Raw] Smoking cheap weed sipping on cheap vodka You pick your poison down Davey Jones' locker It's rum we be wanting By the tons my consumption Take a look at my lungs and my liver It's disgusting Take a look at the man in the mirror We start fussing Only one person gets hurt when throwing the punches - me And the man behind the gla** just laughs The waves come over my head and just crash My hand start bleeding water starts receding A feeling comes into my heart I start believing that I actually might survive through the evening Survive on my own thoughts of suicide that's competing With thoughts of tryna stay alive which been weakened By the feeling of putting on a smile while being beaten The fear of drowning still diving in the deep end The waters carried me so far you can't reach 'em And it feels like there's no one [Hook: Dice Raw] No one's in the lighthouse You're face down in the ocean And no one's in the lighthouse And it seems like you just screamed It's no one there to hear the sound And it may feel like there's no one there That cares if you drown Face down in the ocean [Verse 2: Black Thought] After the love is lost Friendship dissolves And even blood is lost Where did it begin The way we did each other wrong Troubled water neither one of us could swim across I stopped holding my breath Now I am better off There without a trace And you in my head All the halted motion of a rebel without a pause What it do is done till you dead and gone The grim reaper telling me to swim deeper Where the people go to lo and behold the soul keeper I'm not even breaking out in a sweat Or cold fever but I'm never paying up on my debt or tolls either I'll leave the memories here I won't need them If I stop thinking and lie, now that's freedom Your body's part of the Maritime museum Face down in the past is where I'm being [Hook: Dice Raw] And no one's in the lighthouse You're face down in the ocean And no one's in the lighthouse And it seems like you just screamed It's no one there to hear the sound And it may feel like there's no one there That cares if you drown Face down in the ocean [Outro: Dice Raw] If you can't swizzim then ya bound to drizzown Pa**ing out life jackets bout to go didown Get down with the captain or go down with the ship Before the dark abyss I'm gon' hit you wit' dis [repeat]
