Raz Simone - Swim Away lyrics

[Verse 1: Raz Simone] It's 8 am, and I'm hungry as f** So I walk up the street to the grocery store, pa** up the Starbucks Because a cup of coffee can't fill my cup And a cup of coffee can't, can't fill my stomach up Plus regardless, I don't even like the taste And the hunger in my stomach is more than enough to keep me awake So even if I eat this food that I took time to choose and make I still have that same hunger, 'cause that hunger cannot be replaced But everyone else at the table is full, I cannot relate They have some kush that smells great, they rolled it up before we ate I still have food up on my plate, so I masticate, sittin' up straight But they slouched on the couch, blowin' an ounce to the face And they continue to blow, 'til the ounce turns to an eighth And then it's me that they thank because the house supplied the dank So even when I'm just sh**tin', there are still moves that have been made But they lose and I take, and they feel different, so they feel great Nah, for a few minutes to an hour Depending on how strong the diesel was up in that sour But they know that I got that power, so they stay down for some hours Then they turn the tv on, it took 'em a minute to find the power I walked to the window, watch the wind blow, the rain shower Feels like a life-sized fish tank, but I'm in my tower I wave, it's been fun, but I really have to go This tank we call a sea is too small for me to grow [Hook: Raz Simone] It's never too cold, but never too sunny So there's rainbows in the clouds When the rain blows, I'mma swim away I'mma swim away I'mma, I'mma swim away [Verse 2: Raz Simone] I'm so different from these n***as, they probably laughin' at the course Instead of doing somethin' different, they do the same sh**, boring It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring They're on that nursery rhyme sh**, I'm on that Maury Who that baby's daddy, it's unfortunate that they were born weak Born meek, lazy enough to follow, but too scared to lead And if they could, they would let somebody else walk in they feet Don't even feel comfortable in they own skin so they take a [puff] of that weed And then they're gone, movin' at a Seattle speed That's slo-mo, that's hella deep Faster than that screw, but too slow for a city I can't live another year here when time is my enemy 'Cause then you take that year, and divide by at least three times And that's how many years would've gone by in a New York state of mind So why is this state of mine behind? I'm tryin' to get to the bottom of the line But everyone else is tryin' to climb, you know how the crabs in the bucket go So it's been real, and I love my home But I think you already know, I really have to go Because this tank we call a sea is too small for me to grow [Hook x2] [Interlude] He left everything and everyone He just left, it's just like poof, he disappeared Or was kidnapped, or just taken up into the sky He's just gone [Hook x2] [Verse 3: Raz Simone] I'm doin' breaststrokes through the water The more I swim, the more it gets hotter It's hard enough to leave my son, I'm lucky I didn't have a daughter When he asks where I am, tell him his father's a sea monster The Solomonster, to be exact, from Razpeattle And if he's my son, he's bout to grab his paddle And then run out the house before his cousin tattles Fightin' the elements and tons of battles Yellin' 'til his lungs'll crackle So pack him a jar of honey and a saddle Because he's gonna be hoarse, and he's gonna need a horse Ridin' all the trails, no place for a Porsche Fightin' with his bare hands, hella words, and some swords Some drums and some chords, the world looks at us as poor But we're richer than the most, because we're happy and content With hella heart and hella soul, we walk past all the gold But we stop for every soul, because that's what matters most And our priorities, and our goals, the material things are just stones But they still chase rubble, I'mma hop up in my shuttle And see if someone up there understands me down here And then when I get there, I'mma wave Because even outer space is too small of a tank, dang [Hook x2]
