VERSE ONE:

When I speak on this track for people in flats and houses
It's deeper than that you need to relax, allow this
To seep into that mind and give you forethought
We're all caught in this crossfire of small talk
But talk's cheap and the price could get cheaper
So don't waste your credits 'cos life can get deeper than who said what where when how who's who
Signalled in the smoke of the screens that you're glued to
In solitude gotta move through that YouTube
The nearer you get Ye clearer it gets to view through
Find those minds that are weakened and teach 'em
But how can we reach 'em without trying to speech 'em?
It gets deep as it does on my breath
I never sleep 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I'm on a stairway to heaven but there's mud on my kreps
So if I slip there'll be blood on the steps... That's deep

HOOK (LSK):

Still no street wisdom on the curriculum
Got to come deep to reach when you're teaching them
That's why most of them roam the streets 'cause you're failing them
You gotta come deeper

VERSE TWO:

When I'm left on my own I get in the zone
With no path to my thoughts I'm just letting them roam
I won't care if you're knocking or your belling my phone
It's like the lights are on but Ess isn't home
Want a Penny for my thoughts? A penny, you reckon?
When my mind's on my grind like 24/7
365 bredren
As you can learn a life lesson in less than 365 seconds
I'm trying to be equipped for life's blessings
Seize them quick when time beckons pick the right weapons
Make the big wigs out lay the big chips get paid for kicks just like Beckham
Inhale deep as it does on my breath
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I live life to the limit so I’m under some stress
But if I didn’t I’d be loving it less … and to me that’s deep

HOOK

VERSE THREE:

What’s deep? Deep is when the radio cuts out your speech
Deep is which words are rubbed out with bleeps
The deep time’s past the watershed
‘cause certain things slide when the kids are all in bed
But what’s deep though is how they figure
That you can’t say f**k but you can say N***er
They reverse the verses and edit the curses
But leave in the word that reminds us we’re worthless
And 50 couldn’t have a gun in a poster
‘cause it spread violence and he wasn’t supposed to
But how come I walked out my flats and seen one
Of Keira flipping Knightley with a fat machine gun
Inhale deep as it does on my breath
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’m not blaming anybody, that’s something I stress
It’s just crazy what we’ve come to accept … and to me that’s deep
