Drowning 101

[Verse 1: Kill Bill: The Rapper]
Head above water, how much longer can I float?
Pray to God he built my lungs stronger than my quotes
My momma told me anchor down before they toss you out the boat
I might be swimming with the fishes, picking dolphins out the moat
The trident talking, they whisper the writtens is Midas walking
Siphon carbon copy thoughts about the tunnels that I clot
I might be lost in Jonah's second home, a stepping stone to some
I try to fucking hold my breath, I'm scared to death of open lungs
What you want?
Conversate with phantoms from the chasms
Half my muscles damaged from the spasms
Half of me is something that I'm not
Half you want something I ain't got
But I ain't tripping 'bout it, you swim the shark tank or live without it
Blood inside the water, drag my minnow to the slaughter
Why'd I bother, silhouette depressions in the murk
Running fingers through my sand, the least precious of the dirt
For what it's worth

[Chorus: Kill Bill: The Rapper]
Face down, drifting away
All distorted, waterboarded, let you drip from my face
I wanna breathe baby, I wanna breath, yeah
Face down, drifting away
All distorted, waterboarded, let you drip from my face
I wanna breathe baby, I wanna breathe

[Verse 2: john.AVERAGE]
Waiting in the tides, floating on what I'm destined
Holding stars, praying to the moon for protection
Feeling vexed in essence while navigating this, tempted
Skip lessons just to sink under my own indiscretions
Live from the grotto, guess it pays to be hollow
In troubled waters, hard to follow, rode waves like I'm Otto
And yet this pain is hard to swallow but always inspires
Introspection on every blessing and all I require
I think people are liars, I believe in creation
I've seen the ocean on fire and steeped in my patience, boy look alive
Yeah, it's deep and it's welled up inside
But you decide, will you leave, will you stay or go dive?
Not that it's urgent, I went and severed the surface
In search of something with purpose and fell asleep in the currents
I serenaded with orcas while flooding away the serpents, curtains
This pool is a pit, welcome to service

[Chorus: Kill Bill: The Rapper]
Face down, drifting away
All distorted, waterboarded, let you drip from my face
I wanna breathe baby, I wanna breath, yeah
Face down, drifting away
All distorted, waterboarded, let you drip from my face
I wanna breathe baby, I wanna breathe

[Sample]
But when somebody makes you say it, then
And it's true, then it just makes it more beautiful of a thing
Do you wanna go over the more beautiful, and say it?
