The Roots, Dice Raw - Lighthouse lyrics

If you can‘t swiz-zim
Then you're bound to driz-zown
Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di down
Get down with the captain
Or go down with the ship
Before the dark abyss, I’ma hit you with this
Now, if you can‘t swiz-zim
Then you're bound to driz-zown
Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di down
Get down with the captain
Or go down with the ship
Before the dark abyss, I’ma hit you with this

And no one’s in the lighthouse
You’re face down in the ocean
And no one’s in the lighthouse
And it seems like you just screamed
It’s no one there to hear the sound
And it may feel like there’s no one there
That cares if you drown
Face down in the ocean

Smoking cheap weed, sipping on cheap vodka
Yo, pick your poison, down Davy Jones’ locker
It’s rum we be wanting, by the tons
My consumption
Take a look at my lungs and my liver
It’s disgusting
Take a look at the man in the mirror
We start fussing only one person gets hurt
When throwing punches: me
And the man behind the glass just laughs
The waves come over my head and just crash
My hand start bleeding, water starts receding
A feeling comes into my heart
I start believing that
I actually might survive through the evening
Survive on my own thoughts
Of suicide that’s competing
With thoughts of tryna stay alive
Which been weakened
By the feeling of putting on
A smile while being beaten
The fear of drowning
Still diving in the deep end
The waters carried me so far
You can’t reach him
And it feels like there’s no one

And no one’s in the lighthouse
You’re face down in the ocean
And no one’s in the lighthouse
And it seems like you just screamed
It’s no one there to hear the sound
And it may feel like there’s no one there
That cares if you drown
Face down in the ocean

After the love is lost
Friendship dissolves, and even blood is lost
Where did it begin? The way
We did each other wrong
Troubled water neither one of
Us could swim across
I stopped holding my breath
Now am I better off? There, without a trace
And you in my head and all?
The halted motion of a rebel without a pause
What it do is done 'til you are dead and gone
The Grim Reaper telling me to swim deeper
Where the people go to lo and behold
The Soul Keeper i’m not even breaking out in
A sweat or cold fever
But, I’m never paying up on my debt or tolls
Either i’ll leave the memories here
I won’t need 'em
If I stop thinking and lie now
That’s freedom
Your body’s part of the maritime museum
And face down in the past is where I’m being

And no one’s in the lighthouse
You’re face down in the ocean
And no one’s in the lighthouse
And it seems like you just screamed
It’s no one there to hear the sound
And it may feel like there’s no one there
That cares if you drown
You're face down in the ocean

If you can‘t swiz-zim
Then you're bound to driz-zown
Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di down
Get down with the captain
Or go down with the ship
Before the dark abyss, I’ma hit you with this
Now, if you can‘t swiz-zim
Then you're bound to driz-zown
Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di down
Get down with the captain
Or go down with the ship
Before the dark abyss, I’ma hit you with this
