Deep Thoughts Lyrics

Look

I've been fighting for so long just to get along

With my head held high, pretending to be strong

Trying way to hard to get it on my own

I've been searching for the lord, but he been at home

I've been trying to do what's right, please don't get me wrong

The boats full of holes I've been getting on

I've been wasting too much time steady skipping stones

Tryna hold on to this life I've been gripping on

Having dreams that could send me on a different way

While I'm gathering my skills to put them on display

Putting in the work to receive a different pay

And I'll finally have a chance to see a different day

I just pray that my life will start to make the change

But my goals and my morals will remain the same

Now I'm bout to start moving at a different rate

So I'll finally see my problems start to dissipate

I can't help but to look at where I'm coming from

A young black man brought up in the slums

Displeased with all the shit that I have done

Questioning God like what have I become?

Consistently feeling like I'm caught up in a bind

Witnessing life on a steady decline

So I keep working hard for the mean time

While I keep preaching that I'm gonna be fine

But screw that, like where the tool at

Navigating through the system, wish I could reboot that

I've been following the rhythm and bringing the blues back

I've been tryna hang like where the fuck noose at?

But just look at me

Looking around steady searching for my inner peace

Plate too full, there's no room for some enemies

All I want is for people to remember me

So please remember me, yeah

I've been fighting for so long just to get along

With my head held high, pretending to be strong

Trying way to hard to get it on my own

I've been searching for the lord, but he been at home

I've been trying to do what's right, please don't get me wrong

The boats full of holes I've been getting on

I've been wasting too much time steady skipping stones

Tryna hold on to this life I've been gripping on

Having dreams that could send me on a different way

While I'm gathering my skills to put them on display

Putting in the work to receive a different pay

And I'll finally have a chance to see a different day

I just pray that my life will start to make the change

But my goals and my morals will remain the same

Now I'm bout to start moving at a different rate

So I'll finally see my problems start to dissipate
