"Life Jacket" lyrics
When it rains, it pours
And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet
Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck
Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck
And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse
The tide gon' pull me under any night now
I been fightin' for my life, nobody comin' through to help
It look like I gotta save myself
Yeah, all my babies bring me heaven while my life a living hell
And I'm very good at hidin' it so no one else can tell
I find comfort bein' outnumbered, guess it's me against the world
With my dirty Motorola and my scale
Yeah, yeah, I can't let my past come back to haunt me, gotta let it go
Where would I be if I kept sellin' dope? Guess we'll never know
Damn, I miss my brother, I'm afraid that I might never cope
The perfect time to find out my umbrella broke
Is when it rains, it pours
And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet
Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck
Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck
And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse
The tide gon' pull me under any night now
I been fightin' for my life, nobody's comin' through to help
It look like I gotta save myself
I'm tryna take a look at all the messes that I made myself
Might be time that I forgave myself
I'd nearly forgotten all the faces of the snakes that I done left
I was wavin' as I made it up the steps
Gotta savor every breath 'cause today might be the last day you get
I spent all my efforts tryna get a check, yeah
Say it's dog eat dog and I heard that from the vet
And I'll never let 'em doggy paddle back
Yeah, 'cause when it rains, it pours
And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet
Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck
Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck
And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse
The tide gon' pull me under any night now
I been fightin' for my life, nobody comin' through to help
It look like I gotta save myself
Long live Pif
And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet
Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck
Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck
And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse
The tide gon' pull me under any night now
I been fightin' for my life, nobody comin' through to help
It look like I gotta save myself
Yeah, all my babies bring me heaven while my life a living hell
And I'm very good at hidin' it so no one else can tell
I find comfort bein' outnumbered, guess it's me against the world
With my dirty Motorola and my scale
Yeah, yeah, I can't let my past come back to haunt me, gotta let it go
Where would I be if I kept sellin' dope? Guess we'll never know
Damn, I miss my brother, I'm afraid that I might never cope
The perfect time to find out my umbrella broke
Is when it rains, it pours
And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet
Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck
Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck
And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse
The tide gon' pull me under any night now
I been fightin' for my life, nobody's comin' through to help
It look like I gotta save myself
I'm tryna take a look at all the messes that I made myself

Long live Pif
