Текст песни Macklemore — Otherside + аккорды для гитары

Вступление

[Chorus]

Em              G       
  Oh girl, this boat is sinking,
D                Em
  There's no sea left for me,
Em            G  
  And how the sky gets heavy
D  
  When you are underneath it
  Em   G             D            Em
  Oh I want to sail away from here
      C
  And God
          G    
  He came down down down down down down down down
      C
  And said
  B
  Nothing


[Verse]

Em                                   
  He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
G  
  Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?
D
  That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?
Em
  And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
Em
  Yep yep he had 5 up on
G
  When he passed him that Styrofoam
D
  The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
  
  Finally got to see what all the hype was on
              Em
  And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
G
  Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
D                                                     Em
  Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass
                                      
  Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
C
  Hot box let the bass bump
  
  Take it to face, gulp
G
  Months later the use went up
  
  And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
C
  But Goddamn he loved that feeling
  
  Purple rain coated in the throat
          B
  Just so healin'
  
  Medicine alleviate the sickness
  
  Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
  Em
  Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
G 
  Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
  D                                            Em
  Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom
  
  Couldn't get off it
Em
  Didn't even think he had a problem
G
  Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous
D
  Room spinnin'
  
  Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
Em
  His eyelids closed shut
G
  Sat back in the chair
  
  Clutching that cup
D                                              Em
  Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name
  
  Shook him, but he never got up
C
  Never got up, never got up
G 
  We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
C                               B
 It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us

 Nah, it won't be us


[Chorus]

Em
  And he just wanted to act like them
G
  He just wanted to rap like him
D                                  Em
  Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
Em
  Blunt passed
                G
  Ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
D
  The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
Em
  Surprise, you know the drill
G
  Trapped in a box declined record sales
D
  Follow the formula
                          Em 
  Violence, drugs and sex sells
  
  So we try to sound like someone else
C
  This is not Californication

  There's no way to glorify this pavement
G
  Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant
D
  Despite how Lil Wayne lives
  
  It's not conducive to being creative
B
  And I know cause he's my favorite
  
  And I know cause I was off that same mix
Em                            G
  Rationalize the shit that I try after I listen to dedication
D
  But he's an alien
              Em
  I sip that shit pass out or play PlayStation
Em 
  Months later I'm in the same place
G
  No music made, feeling like a failure
D
  And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement
Em
  I've seen my peoples dreams die
G
  I see what they can be denied
D
  And "weeds not a drug" that's denial

  Groundhog day life repeat each time
Em
  I've seen Oxycontin take 3 lives
G
  I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
D                                         Em
  I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside

  Cheatin' and lyin'
             Em
  Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
               G
  Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
D
  Broken, hopeless, headed no where
  Em
  Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
C
  That rush, that drug, that dope
  
  Those pills, that crumb, that roach
G
  Thinkin' I would never do that
  
  Not that drug
  
  Growin' up nobody ever does
C
  Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror
  
  Like I can't believe what I've become
G
  Swore I was gonna be someone
  
  And growin' up everyone always does
C
  We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
B
  Just keep me up, keep me up
  
  Hollywood here we come
