DJ Fiyer - The Deepest Part lyrics

[Zinedine Zidane, translated] Some words that Can hurt more than actions [Verse 1] You ever take a pounding to the deepest part? Thinking you were sound and then it breaks your heart? That place where no arm can breach Where no harm can reach 'Til a figure of speech Comes and seeks to besiege Your memories and teaches reasons Why you need to bleach Every inch of you Every pinch'll do Nothing like a bit of syntax That's a sin tax On a brown back That's when my chest gets heavy And my palms get sweaty And I think maybe it's petty to get Unsteady from this threat he Doesn't know much better than to pa** on But somehow these are syllables I can't pa** on [Zinedine Zidane, translated] I'd rather have been punched in the face Than have heard these things [Verse 2] We want discourse, but what's the best course Of action? Better to cut on the language that stings The aggressions of the smallest degree? I agree But then we try so hard to be honest Avoid stings but we're by the WASPs' nest I pick my words like blackberries with thorns How come no one wants to take the bull by the horns? In this discussion we're all painfully mourning Our oppression but there's a facade that our words ain't ignoring The same heavy weight of controlling Our own lexicons, we're conforming To restrictions we think are according To inclusivity, but where's the outpouring? I can't open my mouth when there's a harness around it Don't act astounded I put it there myself To end this verse More than a bite, I know how much a bark is worse The deepest part, yeah The deepest part They say political correctness Is what's ruining this country A guy hears that and has a hunch he Can't deny. He feels the words leak out of his sides He just stands by [Zinedine Zidane] Some words that Can hurt more than actions [Claudia Rankine] Our very being exposes us to the address of another, she said ...there is no avoiding the word-filled sticks and stones of others. Our emotional openness, she added, is borne, in both its meanings, by our addressability. Language navigates this
