[Refrain: Dice Raw]

If you can't swiz-zim, then you're bound to driz-zown

Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di-down

Get down with the captain, or go down with the ship

Before the dark abyss, I'ma hit you with this

Yo, if you can't swiz-zim, then you're bound to driz-zown

Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di-down

Get down with the captain, or go down with the ship

Before the dark abyss, I'ma hit you with... this


[Hook: Dice Raw]

And no one's in the lighthouse

You're face-down in the ocean

And no one's in the lighthouse

And it seems like you just screamed

It's no one there to hear the sound

And it may feel like there's no one there

That cares if you drown

Face-down in the ocean


[Verse 1: Dice Raw]

Smoking cheap weed, sipping on cheap vodka

Yo, pick your poison, down Davy Jones' locker

It's rum we be wanting, by the tons, my consumption

Take a look at my lungs and my liver, it's disgusting

Take a look at the man in the mirror, we start fussing

Only one person gets hurt when throwing punches: me

And the man behind the glass just laughs

The waves come over my head and just crash

My hand start bleeding, water starts receding

A feeling comes into my heart, I start believing that—

I actually might survive through the evening

Survive on my own thoughts of suicide that's competing

With thoughts of tryna stay alive, which been weakened

By the feeling of putting on a smile while being beaten

The fear of drowning, still diving in the deep end

The waters carried me so far, you can't reach him

And it feels like there's no one...


[Hook: Dice Raw]

And no one's in the lighthouse

You're face-down in the ocean

And no one's in the lighthouse

And it seems like you just screamed

It's no one there to hear the sound

And it may feel like there's no one there

That cares if you drown

Face down in the ocean


[Verse 2: Black Thought]

After the love is lost

Friendship dissolves, and even blood is lost

Where did it begin? The way we did each other wrong

Troubled water neither one of us could swim across

I stopped holding my breath, now am I better off?

There, without a trace, and you in my head and all?

The halted motion of a rebel without a pause

What it do is done, 'til you are dead and gone

The Grim Reaper telling me to swim deeper

Where the people go to—lo and behold, the Soul Keeper

I'm not even breaking out in a sweat or cold fever

But I'm never paying up on my debt—or tolls, either

I'll leave the memories here, I won't need 'em

If I stop thinking and lie—now, that's freedom

Your body's part of the maritime museum

And face-down in the past is where I'm being


[Hook: Dice Raw]

And no one's in the lighthouse

You're face-down in the ocean

And no one's in the lighthouse

And it seems like you just screamed

It's no one there to hear the sound

And it may feel like there's no one there

That cares if you drown

You're face-down in the ocean


[Refrain: Dice Raw]

If you can't swiz-zim, then you're bound to driz-zown

Get down with the captain, or go down with the ship

Before the dark abyss, I'ma hit you with this

Now, if you can't swiz-zim, then you're bound to driz-zown

Passing out life jackets, 'bout to go di-down

Get down with the captain, or go down with the ship

Before the dark abyss, I hit you with... this
