Deep End (feat. Rapsody) [Remix]

I been tryin' not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I been tryin' not to

In the deep end with the deceased

Where the slaves jumped in the coral reef

All I see wreaths for a four hundred

Ain't a failure, I'm a four runner

Keep killin' us, goin' Killmonger

That's a born sinner, only time I ever go female

J Cole on it, everything I hear got bass on it

Strings attached, Drake run it

Rat-a-tat-tat, bullets in our back

Do you love Black or just listen to it?

Are you for the movement or only music?

Could an only fan make a bad cop

Strip his badge off, get dropped off at the cell block?

Spend twenty-five for a life lot

That's a tick-tock on my wrist watch, Timex

I remember that time that X talked

By any means, must protect y'all

By any means, we gotta change laws

Families, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, fathers, kin

Talk to God, pray that we don't go off the deep end

I been tryin' not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I been tryin' not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I been tryin' not to

I might go crazy, I might go MJ back in the '80s

Back in the '90s, I might go off

Oh, they better not try me, it might get dicey

I ain't tryna go back to the old me

I'm tryna hang on like my mama told me

Sometimes meds get weak, and your arms give out

And you sink to the bottom slowly

A grown man wishin' that somebody hold me

Never knew my daddy, so nobody showed me

Taught me how to walk through the storm when your heart feel heavy

And it's hard and you feelin' lonely

But low-key, how a priest got the keys to the kingdom?

How I keep low enough to bring 'em?

And I need all of what he bringin'

I might go off the deep end, I just need another reason

Yeah, uh, yeah, I been doin' better than I was before

I walk with a limp 'cause I been wrestlin' with the Holy Ghost

Deep end of this pit, but still somehow I keep on floating on

Thought I lost my grip, but God reminded me He's holding on

I been tryin' not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I been tryin' not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I been tryin' not to
