Rescue Me

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
So can you rescue me
Because my ship is sinking
And Im drowning at sea
So can you rescue me, from me
Can you rescue me?
[Verse 1: Royce Da 59']
I was losing my mind like I was trying to lose it
Using my time for using, abusing my grind
This is my own honest view of who I am behind this, music
Ryan the whole bottle of patron Connaisseur
At a point in time I thought I blew it, doing crime
I wouldve washed a pill down with a shot of my own spinal fluid
And my momma knew it, she saw especially right through it
That I wasnt protected cause peer pressure just be like (do it)
But I couldnt fight through it, the beef started
The streets caught up , at least we didnt get involved in deceased orders
Its Slaughterhouse, cause Shady, me, Porter
Sat it down and made peace over Porterhouse and Piesporter
[Verse 2: Joell Ortiz]
Some stupid bitch done turned my girl against me
Shouldve tattooed the earth on my arm feel like the world against me
Soon as I pa-raded, here come the rain falling the name calling
From the cous I never met with his hand out like Im straight balling
Feel like I knocked the 8 ball in
Every time I shoot a move I literally cant call it
Am I afraid of success? Let me think on it
I just got nervous, let me drink on it
Think I just answered yes but not on purpose
I pass the church and do the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
But Im only near it, man I need the pastors service
Im drowning cause Im so tired of treading
So Lord when you get a second please
[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
So can you rescue me
Because my ship is sinking
And Im drowning at sea
So can you rescue me, from me
Can you rescue me?
[Verse 3: Crooked I]
I wake up and my shirt is leaking, covered in sweat
Im dreaming of being murdered when Im sleeping
Picture a person beefing, with himself
And its even, worse when Im drinking
It hurts when Im thinking, me versus my personal demons
Im reaching for my nine
If I point it at myself will it help to quiet the demons screaming in my mind?
And if I go, to the other side
Just tell my mother it was her prayers that kept her youngun thugging son alive
Plus my daughters, them my butterflies, tell my son that I love him
Tell my nieces and nephews their uncle tried
To take this music to the ****ing peak
But Im still a drug dealer as we ****ing speak, thats ****ing weak
[Verse 4: Joe Budden]
Behind the tours and rap fans, hospitals and cat scans
Shoulder, when they call him bipolar, happiest mad man
Dont know my story, my struggle, the demons that I combat
Or how Im starin at them waiting for eye contact, beyond that
I got a soul mate thats naive, so the thought of me is prison to her
Baby momma thats crazy and a ten year old who listens to her
My fam and friends think Im the bank
And the way they keep coming back you think Id got thanked
To you it's a dream, to me its labor, these arent monsters, these my neighbors
And we watch each others back, I guess its favor for a favor
Sometimes they even save me, when my wrist is to that razor so
[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
So can you rescue me
Because my ship is sinking
And Im drowning at sea
So can you rescue me, from me
Can you rescue me?
