Off the Deep End Lyrics

I'm off the deep end

Back stroke, drinking, smoking

I don't need your help I'll keep this thing of ours floating

Thinking who do I have left to trust the list has been shrinking

Missing people in my life who made a difference

Wanting someone I can love but hate commitment

I've been hurt too many times I have my limits

And now I'm closing myself off and staying distant

Sorry that's the Guinea in my blood I'm unforgiving

And I'm always planning

I have a vision

It's been that way

Since back when I was whippin' dishes

And now I'm here to take what's mine

I decide exactly how I run my business

And you can move however you like

I got my own way, my own opinions

My own wants and needs

Mostly money, weed and women

I don't like it anymore than you do

But it's what it is

I've been off the grid

And I've been outta range

I stay higher than the clouds my heads in outer space

I'm with people my own age and I feel outta place

Maybe I was born too late

Maybe its because I say it how it is I keep it straight

Maybe it's just me I put a lot of pressure on myself to get us where we're going

Cause I just want to see the finish line

Before we're outta time

I've lost more than I can count but never lost my pride

Lord knows I've been close, I've been close baby

Oh I'm trying not to let it go even when I'm tempted

'Cause I don't wanna do something that I'll regret

Tryna keep the peace

Tryna keep it sweet

Tryna give 'em everything they need

Without losing me

I just hope the effort that I'm putting in is worth the dream

And I just hope the lesson that they learned was not to fuck with me

I'll make sure you think about me every time you go to sleep

I keep coming back because I'm stubborn no one's stopping me

No one tells me what to be

I paid my dues

I'll open up the books when I decide I need a new recruit

Someone that can do what I need them to do

Any time I call on them to round the troops

Any time I feel I have a point to prove
