Swimm - Black Milk, Phil Swish

When the light’s lookin' dim

And your life’s on the limb

It’s, uh, sink or swim (My nigga)

Yeah, sink or swim (My nigga)

When the light’s lookin' dim

And your life’s on the limb

It’s, uh, sink or swim (My nigga)

Yeah, sink or swim

No faint of heart, it’s obvious who playin' hard

The outcome of how you live depends on how you start

Make your mark or fall in line and play your part

Never had a chance to deal a hand, just played the cards

On God, some would rather go fraud

And ride on every other wave like the Coast Guards

It’s all a scheme (Uh), family couldn’t meet they means

Uncles and cousins who was too asleep to see they dreams

We still make the memories on them failed nights

Real life, close to jail nights

Them what the hell nights (Ayy), runnin' red lights (Ayy)

Cousin' with the Cutlass with the busted tail lights

Psh, and the cops here, damn

All burnt out with no place to go

You got no choice but to face your soul

Money equals time, ain’t no wastin' mine

Before you step up, think twice before you take that dive

When the light’s lookin' dim (Lookin' dim)

And your life’s on the limb (On the limb)

It’s, uh, sink or swim (Sink or swim, my nigga)

Yeah, sink or swim (Sink or swim, my nigga)

When the light’s lookin' dim (Lookin' dim)

And your life’s on the limb (On the limb)

It’s, uh, sink or swim (Sink or swim, my nigga)

Yeah, sink or swim

Indigo child, oh, how you tell the signs

The revolution rumor will not be televised?

Prepare me for my purpose is what I often tell to God

Just plug me for my labor’s what I try to tell my mom

See, that sneaker job only pays seven forty-five

Three shifts a week, four to five hours at a time

Thirty hours on one check, my nigga?

I can divide

To sum it up, all of this work ain’t worth all of my pride

These heirs, they came prepared for takin' all of my pie

I deserve more than just a piece of dough

My knuckles ashy, see, I needed dough

Pops, the apple ain’t fall far from the tree, fo' sho

I’m really splashin' in the deep fo' sho

Case you needs to know, nigga

When the light’s lookin' dim (Lookin' dim)

And your life’s on the limb (On the limb)

It’s, uh, sink or swim (Sink or swim, my nigga)

Yeah, sink or swim (Sink or swim, my nigga)

Sink or swim, sink or swim
