Tomcantsleep - Sink or Swim Lyrics

Rain non stop like it's Genesis
If you ain't building boats to float in it, then I ain't interested
I've been told too many times how much the rhymes are intricate
Here to do the impossible, make paper off the penmanship
Pendulum swinging over my head for too long
Not feeling right, night after night made me just wanna do wrong
Day after day was disarray, I waded through like it's water
Phone off the hook, no dial tone, can't get a hold of the father
(I ain't got time to waste) Always chasin'
(Unless it's whiskey) Take it straight then
(Won't kiss ass to get a placement)
Watch you fail for entertainment
I take my time to make sure what I'm making is amazing
You stay behind and once you don't get shit you start complaining
You want a beat from Nick, agree on price, complete the payment
But most the time he sends it straight to me after he saves it
I know it's sacred, I ain't taking this for granted
How's a heart that's made of granite bleeding poems to save planet?
Can't say I understand it, I just sit down and it happens
If I ever found a shore, a hurricane would pull me back in

Sink or swim, and I need oxygen to breathe
So if I feel I'm suffocating, soon enough, I'll have to leave
And I'll be gone before I know it, vanishing with every moment
But if I disappear too much, I'm bound to end up homeless, I know it
Sink or swim and I need oxygen to breathe
So if I feel I'm suffocating... I gotta leave
