Shola Ama - Waters Run Deep lyrics
[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
