about

A lyrically complex performance dealing with isolation over an exciting trap instrumental.

lyrics

Verse 1:
As I breath I'm drowning, I can't handle these surroundings
But I've been within these depths for years so I'm not even frowning
Count the people I can count on with my two hands
Everybody else with big ass squads or cliques or crews or clans
Souplantation, stay organic, when they see this shit they
panic
Branding and programming, spreads contamination makes them manic
People always clowning me so it's time I go Pennywise
My money sense is driving me to get more than new bentley rides

Hook:
Plenty of fish in the sea, but I'm not a fish/
Drowning till I turn into a bottom-feeder's dish/
I descend, I see the stars, and I make a wish/
Be aquatic, not psychotic, finish with some fins/

Verse 2:
Many ties of mine have fell apart like loose knots
Twenty tries at dying but I ain't tried noose knots
Guess it's for the best because I've got these new plots
Choose a muse and my thoughts are too much for you bots
Bought your way to fame and get paid to be how they want ya
Rotten brains, you feed off others, cause them pain, your
monstrous
Guess dinero is the cause of all Romero's visions
Rest in peace the legend, body dead but soul keeps living

Hook:
Plenty of fish in the sea, but I'm not a fish
Drowning till I turn into a bottom-feeder's dish
I descend, I see the stars, and I make a wish
Be aquatic, not psychotic, finish with some fins

Bridge:
Most are people pleasers, most are snakes and weasels
I'm a vile creature, but I am not either
You've got the means to live well, I barely survive
You naturally thrive, I was born to strive

Verse 3:
Mantis not a shrimp, but I still got this shit snapping
Tantrums from some wimps, I guess I'll get to pimp slapping
Everyone I know who's hurting make me keep on rapping
So I can try and pitch in if some scary ass shit happen
I'm not trying to be icy, I'm just trying to spit blizzards
My craft is wars with stars, guess I'm talking like Darth Sidious
Jedi Mind tricks like I'm Vinnie, but I'm not as peaceful
I will conquer everyone like I'm succeeding Caesar

Bridge:
Most are people pleasers, most are snakes and weasels
I'm a vile creature, but I am not either
You've got the means to live well, I barely survive
You naturally thrive, I was born to strive

Hook:
Plenty of fish in the sea, but I'm not a fish
Drowning till I turn into a bottom-feeder's dish
I descend, I see the stars, and I make a wish
Be aquatic, not psychotic, finish with some fins
