Deep End

Life gets crazy sometimes
Super crazy
Out in the deep end you gon' drown if you can't swim

My cousin died when he was 25
Botched robbery resulting in a homicide
Home invasion bullets flying by his mama's eyes
All these hardships I harbor you think I'd ought to cry
His brother really a fan telling me I got the recipe
A doctor saving lives, where's the karma for his energy?
Time is running laps the future been stressing me
If I die today what would they say is my legacy?
Stopped searching for purpose, it isn't worth it
No matter how you're living only death is certain
I'm just here for a good time not for good
If tomorrow was your end would you do everything you could?
That's why I treat every day like my last one
Stay on my grind clear mind look up & have fun
You never know which good bye might be your last
You can't tell from the present a person's past
Like how my boy Craig inspired me
Taught me self confidence and to reach for a higher me
Beneath the surface my big bro was hurting
Depression pressing in alcohol wasn't working
He lost his love then lost hope
Despair made him feel anxious and awful
Emotions fizzing up deep inside the bottle
Till one day he chose not to see tomorrow

What type of society do we exist in?
Where people are driven to take their life instead of living
Where once you finish class you enter the class of riches
I tried the 9 to 5 but my soul needs something different
Just a digit a SIN committing sins
Out in the deep end you gon' drown if you can't swim

Gonna fight my demons
Drowning in the deep end

Spark the flame up to burn my anxieties
Working on my diamond under pressure from society
The system pumps addiction in the form of fitting in
I'm going against all the odds I was never fit to win
25 to life is how the game feels
With all this fake around it's hard to stay real
I need happiness now not ever after
I'd rather be down on the court than in the rafters

Live your life free

Live your life free

Live your life free

Live your life free
