[Verse 1]
Mama callin’ my phone
I let it ring on the table
Unread texts from my bros
They think I’m fine, I’m not able
Same couch, same blank stare
Ceiling fan keep spinnin’ slow
Food cold on the plate there
Been three nights I barely show
Doctor say “you need rest”
I laugh like, “who gon’ pay that?”
Landlord bangin’ the door
I hold my breath, just lay back
Baby say that I changed
I ain’t changed, I just broke
I keep chasin’ that flame
Till it’s all in my throat
[Chorus]
I been sinkin’, I been sinkin’
Can’t reach me, can’t reach me
Whole room feel like water
And I’m knee-deep, I’m knee-deep
Everybody say they love me
They just leave me, just leave me
I been yellin’ at the ceiling
Hope it hear me, it hear me
[Verse 2]
Last year, I was that kid
New chain, whole block cheer
Now I’m pawnin’ that same chain
For a past-due light bill, yeah
Scrollin’ through old pics
We was up, we was all smiles
Now my close friends list
Just me and these dark files
Grandma voice in my head
“Boy, pray when you feel lost”
I ain’t talked to my God
I just talk to this sauce
Every sip, little trip
Every pill, little flight
But I land in the same bed
Same face, same night
[Chorus]
I been sinkin’, I been sinkin’
Can’t reach me, can’t reach me
Whole room feel like water
And I’m knee-deep, I’m knee-deep
Everybody say they love me
They just leave me, just leave me
I been yellin’ at the ceiling
Hope it hear me, it hear me
[Bridge]
Tell me, who gon’ hold me
When the bottle stop talkin’? (yeah)
Who gon’ really know me
When the shine start flakin’ off?
If I vanish in my hoodie
In my pain, in my city
Would you notice I was missin’
Or just scroll like you busy?
[Chorus]
I been sinkin’, I been sinkin’
Can’t reach me, can’t reach me
Whole room feel like water
And I’m knee-deep, I’m knee-deep
Everybody say they love me
They just leave me, just leave me
I been yellin’ at the ceiling
Hope it hear me, it hear me
