Swim, Fly, Run Lyrics by Zip K.

Clouded Judgement

2013

[Verse 1]
First, shoutouts to Monte Carlo, Carlo
Nigga bravo
Young Kennedy's a Boozer and I ain't talking Carlos
Tell the waitress bring the bottles, bottles
I'm hardly adult
But I took tabbies on who gives a shit and guess what I don't
I'm in the Chevy
The Henny was heavy
But Jenny was ready to leave, so we left
It's hard to hope my vision steady
Nonetheless we keep our eyes up on the street, we don't want to wreck
But I'm D.U.I., so why do I drive, I have no reply
I hit a speed bump as I ride 95
I closed my eyes, we're suspended
I believe I can't fly, but R. Kelly lied
Chevy flips and with the ground we collide
Skrt on the side of the road to the town lake
Hear the pebbles on the ground shake
As we drown in murky water
Now brown as pound cake
I see a fish went to my window and the flounder say
"Your like the fifth car this week thats been around the way"
[Chorus]
Why do all the humans wait so late to take a swim
Why they're swimming with me, liquors swimming in them
Yeah, they get there empty cups and then they fill it to the brim
Then you drive it like a dummy
Hit the lake and then you meet me at the bottom
You don't wanna end up at the bottom
Swim, Fly, Run from the bottom
Boy, you better Swim, Fly, Run
Girl, you better Swim, Fly, Run
[Verse 2]
Mr. Fish, what a fishy coincidence
Who would've dreamed getting tipsy would freaking get me this
Now we're heading to the the bottom, Me and Jenny
Pretty Jenny in this brand new Chevy
Of which I spent a pretty penny
Now them penny's sinking, Zip what was you freaking thinking
Teenagers lose they're life to drinking, I see it every weekend
I'm not trying to freak you out, I'm just saying you should keep it
On levels you can contain, try using your brain
I'm bout to do something that I don't usually do
I'm bout to get my crew to push you to the top of the bayou
All you have to do is promise
Wisely choose when using Brews
And never cruise when you abuse the booze
Follow the rules
I said "Mr. Fish, I promise I'll never
You know I'm lying but I promise no more driving, my limits I recognized them"
I saw other fish arrive
They came in schools of 85
As they swam us to the surface
They all sang this and we heard them singing
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I wake up coughing waters
These awful waters saturate me from my hat to my socks
I try to the dock to see Jenny and she's drenched and she's got
Seaweeds all on her but I'm just happy shes breathing
Man, I thought she was a goner
And this Chevy at the bottom of the god forsaken lake
But it's ok, cause unlike humans any car can be replaced
I just wish that I could thank Mr. Fish in the future
I'll try to stay away from any entree of fish filet
I feel so fortunate, I may just lay and sing amazing grace
Had to many shots, no chase
But couldn't negate amazing taste
I nearly lost my fucking face
I nearly made my fucking grave
And I'm responsible for Jenny's unresponsive ass
I hate the fact I compromise my sanity
But look at humanity
I'm not saying don't have fun
I'm just saying know your limit
Or be prepared to visit
Mr. Fish, he'll see no difference
All fishes think we're ignorant
Cause we're smart but we don't listen
[Chorus x2]
