2 Deep (City Lick Mix)

Lyrics

Too deep, and, yes, much too complicated My lines when stated are quite often underrated So consider it a privilege to hear this The weak-minded opinions could never come near this For my outlook on life is a profound view While the suckers act down thinking that they sound new Only a few sound true,  Me and the crew know who 'Cause see, me and the fellas have been waiting for a while now Giving you the time to get your wack ass style down You punks pop junk as if life is a fantasy Knowing that hard is something you can't be So you front but you could never call my bluff You'll catch hell, kid – you get dealt with I never sleep, I always peep, rhymes creep I'm too deep, I'm too deep I forgive you – sike! I'm takin' your life 'Cause you continue to disrespect, so I'ma get trife But then again, I think I'll spare ya 'Cause I know that all it takes is one rhyme just to scare ya See, I'm the holder of the key Don't ask me if I'm Muslim, don't say nothin' to me I said I was raised like one, son, I had two cousins,  They pushed me to find myself, or else they knew I wasn't– Gonna make it, and then end up a statistic My life was twisted – I almost missed it The chance, yes, the chance to make you feel good I used to steal goods and fake my parents out real good But now I got K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E Of Self 'cause I'm me And the Nation Of Islam has my support 'Cause they try to re-educate ones who are lost And the Five-Percent Nation takes other steps To get through to the brothers on the corners with the reps And in the prisons, givin' the brothers new visions Of how we can gain wealth and gain self-esteem And dream of a total different scene I dress clean, stand lean, say what I mean, and I'm out Like a scout on a new route, exhibiting clout I never sleep, I always peep, rhymes creep I'm too deep, I'm too deep Right now, yo, my religion is rhymin' Perfect timing, test the flow, then climb in Ansaar, Sunnite, Shiite, Jihad – All must regard that times are hard "Unite or perish" is the message that I cherish That goes for my people of all religions If we're all Black why have so many divisions? Superficial factors are drawing us apart Don't let it happen – let's put some respect back in So, before I act I think, 'cause it's a brink of destruction World corruption – what's up, son? Your gun is just one And I just might have one or two, or maybe even three or four Plus an army of about one hundred or more But violence is never my first choice,  I come in peace to release the effect of my voice I never sleep, I always peep, rhymes creep I'm too deep, I'm too deep
