Deep End

(album: Restoration - 2020)

Right now (Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now)

I've been trying not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I've been trying not to…

Stay on point
I've been trying to save my voice
But ya'll gave me no choice
The world gone mad, can't ignore this noise
Look at these people found dead in the streets
I got some partners that hate the police
Me I'm just trying to hold onto my peace
Cause I'm liable to lose it and go get the piece
I need a reason, I need a season
Pleaded with Jesus, all of this grieving
They be like F U and what you believe in
I do not trip, I keep it G
What in the H, you say in the I?
Ain't no JK when I'm talking to God
Don't need a reason to open my eyes
If I'm still breathing I'm running for my man

I've been doing better than I was before
I walk with a limp cause I've been wrestling with the Holy Ghost
Deep end of this pit but still somehow I keep on floating
Thought I lost my grip but God reminded me it's holy

I've been trying not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I've been trying not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I've been trying not to…

I might go crazy
I might go MJ back in the 80s
Back in the 90s I might go off
For 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 mamma told me
Sometimes legs get weak and your arms give out
And you sink to the bottom slowly
A grown man wishing that somebody hold me
Never knew my daddy so nobody show me
Taught me how to walk through the storm when your heart feel heavy
And it's hard and you're feeling lonely and lowkey
High priest got the keys to the kingdom
Highkey low enough to bring them
And I need all of what he's bringing
I might go off the deep end, I just need another reason

I've been doing better than I was before
I walk with a limp cause I've been wrestling with the Holy Ghost
Deep end of this pit but somehow I keep on floating
Thought I lost my grip but God reminded me it's holy

I've been trying not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I've been trying not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I've been trying not to…
