[Chorus: Shola Ama]
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
[Verse 1: CoCo]
Lately I've been on a high
Show man the spirit on Kendrick Lamar like
How you gonna k** my vibe?
Me, I could show you the shape of my heart
If you look at me from the outside
You're finding it hard 'cause now I'm a star
But I thought you was on my side
Now you wanna take my fried chicken and fries
f** all the hype, why?
I'm not that guy...
Please know that I'm not that guy
I might'a had a couple drags of weed
But I don't know why you think I'm that high
My bad, but I'm not that type
An' I didn't wanna come n' try and give man hype
Say what you want, say what you like
I just hope that you can sleep at night
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
[Verse 2: CoCo]
Lately I've been in my zone
Sat in my pad, and it's gettin me mad
'coz these leeches won't leave me alone
You didn't know me then, but you knowin' me now
I'm just feeling to switch off my phone
I don't need you, no I don't need you
An' I'm doing just fine on my own
Stuck in the past? f** that, now I'm grown
Real to the bone, why? I'm not that guy
Please know that I'm not that guy
I might'a had a couple drags of weed
But I don't know why you think I'm that high
Keep friends close and my enemies closer
I can't let another waste my time
Every reaction needs a reaction
I can't let them take what's mine, that's why...
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
[Verse 3: Deep Green]
I told 'em to be careful if the karma's you
'coz that's a guy who don't wanna talk
He'd rather bark the tool
Water's deep in these awkward streets
Actions speak louder than words
So now your talk is cheap
Risen from a dark hell
Swimmin' where the sharks dwell
Kickin' with these kittens and the itch is all the doc sells
I was underpaid, barely feeling hunger pains
So I had to fight to survive, just like the Hunger Games
Don't be askin' what's crackin', I'm overrun with trappin'
I ain't slackin' with rappin' tell 'em exactly what happened
Stepping out of the shadows, into the limelight
In hindsight, I be focused on my lines, fine
Bakin' this flour won't even take me an hour
You got your face screwed up like what you're tasting is sour
What's the difference between rain and a shower?
Cuttin' out these fake brothers like I'm Kanan from Power...
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
Kiss cheek and skin teeth
Cuttin' eyesight, flickering sky lights
The waters run deep
Risks cheap, but don't sleep
'Cause in hindsight, flickering skylights
The waters run deep
[Outro: Shola Ama]
Feelin' wrestles, my heart beats
You leave me breathless, but I can't breathe
Leadin' by example, hardly
Gainin' credit, but hardly
Makin' wishes I can't keep
We swim in waters so deep
