Deep Waters

[Verse 1: Zi]
Reality's a hard thing to cope with
And it gets critical when you get tired of hoping
Your life sucks but you swore to never give up
You're picturing your future hoping that there's better to come
But sometimes reality just catches you up
And this is when you catch yourself pouring death in a cup
You go from drowning your worries to drowning in your worries
Start to wake up late although you go to bed early
You could've been a doctor a teacher an attorney
Now you're not even sure if you'll ever make it to thirty
Used to have a dollar and a dream
You just killed that dream with a dollar
Couldn't find no open door so you've opened a bottle
And though it ain't funny it's ironic
How trying to get away got you hitting rock bottom
Can't say that was a smart move
Hoping for a bright future drunk in a dark room

[Verse 2: Zi]
Some people drink to forget you drink to have something to remember
You're 'bout to hit the club it's the 31st of December
Kiss your daughter good night thank God you found a baby sitter
Meet up with a few friends and hit the liquor store
So once you get there you're just ready to get down on the floor
Music banging plus you know the DJ 'cause you've been there before
And all night you'll be drinking some more
And some more and some more
'Cause it ain't fun if you don't get drunk
You're acting so dumb but it's so much fun
Celebrating life and the fact that you're still young
Imagine all the crazy things that you wouldn't have done
But now it's time to leave the party 'cause it's like quarter to six
You're drunk but confidant that you can make it to the crib
Your eyelids are getting heavy and you try to resist
Close your eyes for a second now you're driving off the bridge

[Verse 3: Zi]
You're at this party fine women everywhere it's like a movie
You're feeling fresh mood is set the DJ's playing Juicy
You spot one and walk up to her staring at the booty
To go home with that cutie's like a duty
Exchange a few words and buy the chick a drink and shit
2 hours later she's the chick you're leaving with
Half hour later she's the chick you're sleeping with
And last time you heard from her told you she was pregnant and she's keeping it
'Cause when you stopped to get that bottle you forgot the condoms
You thought it wouldn't've been a problem 'til you find out you're a father
And now you're thinking if she wants to keep it well be it but you
Never wanted that kid
So you ignore the situation acting like your daughter doesn't exist
But seven years later someone shows up at the door to your crib
Telling you her mother just died after driving off a bridge
See you were picturing your future hoping that there's better to come
But sometimes reality just catches you up
And this is when you catch yourself pouring death in a cup
Yeah pouring death in a cup
Yeah pouring death in a cup
