Deep End

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I said the blood of the covenant thicker than womb water Watch your friends and sons and daughters fall and falter at the altar Yell and holler, coffin stopped, start your burial for martyrs The sacrificial lamb deserves a burial in stardust I Am Legend Will Smith since my dog died Let the pill hit with the steel tip hot nine I have earned my stripes Deep scars with the raw hide, take a second You feel the spread and kick it with the jaw slime Spit And they gon' tell us just to get another day job While Black bodies fill up every plot in their graveyard They made monsters, placated, face painted, paint-starved And change places, tryna make the culture while they take ours It's crazy the way that they try to frame it and hang it While we just playing, they claim that we gang-banging, they racist I'm late to say it Too quaint to wake the danger out of flake off Stop speaking, then they're not heroes pillaring fake gods (God) [Chorus] Said we went a long, long way into the deep end I don't wanna fall down, baby, to deceiving Started dropping calls, stop working every weekend Stop working every weekend Said we went a long, long way into the deep end I don't wanna fall down baby to deceiving Started dropping calls, stop working every weekend Stop working every weekend [Verse 2] So go and call your deacons, said you needed Don't stop praying till the seasons passed Don't ever claim you're feeding all your people, till you're eating last And learn to find your equals, you ain't God because you think you're different You ain't special, you ain't better 'cause you think you're Christian And work the metal, strike the bevel 'til the pain is distant And craft the only form of solace that'll keep you hidden And in your solitude, just pardon all your inhibitions Consumed in darkness, find your heart inside the things you're missing (You get it? You got it.) No I don't want no problems Stuck in the moments of broken dreams over broken bottles Dancing to songs that you'll never sing 'cause you know they're awful And picking the petals 'til flowers bleed over ghosts and fossils I hope you choke I hope, I hope that's all she wrote Don't spunk, don't take another toke Just stoke the fire in the coals Build a pyre in the sand, I won't-can't take a helping hand I just can't help you understand I just can't help you understand [Chorus] Said we went a long, long way into the deep end I don't wanna fall down, baby, to deceiving Started dropping calls, stop working every weekend Stop working every weekend Said we went a long, long way into the deep end I don't wanna fall down baby to deceiving Started dropping calls, stop working every weekend Stop working every weekend
