about
My cover to Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools (Drank)" off the album "good kid, m.A.A.d city." In this version, I rap about my own feelings about alcohol and what effect it has had on me. Good or bad.
lyrics
Bridge:
Pour up (drank), head shot (drank)
Sit down (drank), stand up (drank)
Pass out (drank), wake up (drank)
Faded (drank), faded (drank)
Verse 1:
I remember my first taste of alcohol
My sobriety flowing down like Niagara Falls
Acquired that taste for beer
Made my messed up mind clear
A temporary solution to my sorrows
Trouble soon would follow
‘Cuz while it would relax me
It got me close to having shit on my rap sheet
It’s fun for the moment
Though it makes you unfocused
I’d be looking to get fucked up
Alcohol causing my mind to be flooded
Then someone said to me
Hook (Kendrick Lamar):
Nigga why you babysitting only two or three shots
I'mma show you how to turn it up a notch
First you get a swimming pool full of liquor then you dive in it
Pool full of liquor then you dive in it
I wave a few bottles then I watch em all flock
All the girls wanna play Baywatch
I got a swimming pool full of liquor and they dive in it
Pool full of liquor, I'mma dive in it
(Bridge)
Verse 2:
When I’m buzzed my conscious floats around
Drink after drink, I feel it flowin’ down
I can drink a shit ton & still be okay
But sometimes my head spins like a torpedo plane
Thinkin’ I should stop but wanting to keep going
My conscious mind keeps closing
When I drink, I’m a different person
I forget about my horrors ‘cuz the shit hurts
Surprised im not an alcoholic at this current time
When I’m drunk I feel a certain vibe
I should fill my swimming pool full of liquor
Dive in it to take me to world that looked familiar
But I’ll settle for some shots, trying to create a memory
Then, someone said to me
(Hook & Bridge)
