Deep End

[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 alter
Yelling holler, [?], starts a 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
[?] 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 cause you think you're different
You ain't special, you ain't better 'cause you think you're Christian
And work the medal, strike the bevel till 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 till flowers bleed over ghosts and fossils
I hope you choke
I hope, I hope the [?] you 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
