Lyrics The Deep - Clipping.
Our
mothers
were
pregnant
African
women
thrown
overboard
while
Crossing
the
Atlantic
Ocean
on
slave
ships.
We
were
born
Breathing
water
as
we
did
in
the
womb.
We
built
our
home
on
the
Sea
floor,
unaware
of
the
two-legged
surface
dwellers
until
Their
world
came
to
destroy
ours.
With
cannons,
they
searched
For
oil
beneath
our
cities.
Their
greed
and
recklessness
forced
Our
uprising.
Tonight,
we
remember
Y'all
remember
how
deep
it
go
Started
from
the
bottom
Y'all
remember
how
deep
it
go
'Fore
y'all
had
to
come
back,
deep
Y'all
remember
when
it
used
to
be
deep
So
deep,
so,
so
deep,
ay
When
y'all
swim
up
out
yo'
mama
while
y'all
mama
was
asleep
So
deep,
so,
so
deep,
ay
And
y'all
remember
when
y'all
had
the
dance
floor
lit,
dark
No
two-step,
deep,
y'all
don't
even
sweat,
deep
As
deep
as
it
gets
Dreaming
dead
asleep
and
keeping
time
Y'all
heartbeat,
deep,
y'all
heartbeat,
deep
And
all
the
fishes
had
they
eyes
bugged
out
Cause
y'all
dancing
underwater
and
y'all
don't
get
wet
And
the
dark
smelled
sweet
and
y'all
tails
touch
reef
Y'all
feed
off
the
bottom,
but
now
y'all
remember
Y'all
remember
Y'all
remember
Pressure
outside
the
vehicle:
832.2
bars
Y'all
remember
when
the
deep
got
hot
when
y'all
move
on
up
How
y'all
used
to
argue
'bout
the
water
getting
warmer
Still
y'all
loved
a
little
bit
of
light
up
in
the
deep
So
deep,
so,
so
deep,
ay
Y'all
remember
saying
how
it
couldn't
be
them
two
legs
Cause
y'all
came
from
two
legs
And
y'all
mamas
would've
loved
y'all
if
they
could've
breathed
But
they
wasn't
ready
for
the
deep
So
deep,
so,
so
deep,
ay
Y'all
remember
when
the
first
blast
came
And
the
beat
fell
off
and
the
dreams
got
woke
And
the
light
bent
bad
and
the
fishes
belly
up
And
them
coral
castles
crumbled
'cause
they
wasn't
quite
enough
And
conversation
used
to
break,
like
the
floor
quake
Like
the
bleached
bones
and
the
fin
friends
fled
from
they
home
But
the
blast
wouldn't
stop
'caused
they
wanted
black
gold
And
them
no-gills
had
to
feel
it
'cause
they
couldn't
be
told
Y'all
remember
Y'all
remember
Ocean
salinity:
35
PSU.
Water
pH:
7.91
Y'all
remember
when
the
raging
changed
that
no
please,
no
calm
seas
Let
the
water
rise
So
deep,
so,
so
deep
Oil
slick
upon
the
sleeper
was
an
awful
thing
to
realize
If
the
two
legs
wanna
wake
the
dead
They
gon'
have
to
bring
more
fire,
y'all
is
closer
to
the
earth
So
deep
and
y'all
was
talking
how
to
get
up
in
they
heads
And
got
them
real
inspired
circumstances
of
the
birth
Has
got
y'all
feeling
like
an
army,
better
yet
a
navy
And
Dagon
gave
y'all
the
blessing
now
y'all
going
crazy
They
live
with
green
up
on
the
surface
but
they
ain't
deep
That
pistol
shrimp
could
knock
a
two
leg
off
his
feet
Y'all
perfecting
the
steam
void
to
rip
up
they
ships
They
using
sonar
as
second
language,
y'all
fluent
with
it
And
all
the
dreamers
is
woke
now,
but
nightmares
swim
But
everybody
hear
that
"bloop"
know
y'all
coming
for
them
Y'all
remember
Y'all
remember
Surface
water
temperature:
308
Kelvin
Y'all
remember
when
the
call
went
out,
ay
No
deep,
no
more
deep,
sunshine
Y'all
remember
when
the
call
went
out,
ay
No
deep,
no
more
deep,
sunshine
Y'all
remember
feeling
wind
up
on
your
skin
No
deep,
no
more
deep,
sunshine
Y'all
remember
how
it
burned
in
the
beginning
No
deep,
ride
on
'em,
ride
on
'em,
ride
on
'em
Y'all
remember
seeing
sun
across
the
surface
on
the
day
that
Y'all
first
came
up
out
the
water,
so,
so
deep
How
the
breaking
of
the
surface
showed
the
sky
without
a
border
And
the
air
is
so
much
hotter,
so,
so
deep
How
the
woke
dreamer
screamed
and
it
rose
tides
And
the
waves
stretched
up
like
a
mountain
high
And
the
no
gills
gasp
and
they
closed
eyes
And
they
pray
to
they
gods
and
they
ask
why
And
they
all
cry
too
'cause
y'all
recognize
mama
in
the
faces
Of
the
ones
that
y'all
were
terrorized
They
were
sisters
and
brothers
They
were
the
babies
born
up
out
the
water
Not
connected
to
each
other
Not
in
knowledge
of
the
one
dropped
But
they
had
to
learn
today
Y'all
had
one
shot,
let
the
sun
burn
today
Let
them
feel
the
dark
even
deeper
today
Make
a
two
leg
a
believer
today
Let
them
know
that
they
done
woke
a
sleeper
from
a
sleep
So
deep
That
y'all
been
dancin'
without
any
feet,
so,
so
deep
Here's
the
nerve
that
they
struck
with
a
blast
That
they
broke
with
a
drill
that
they
burnt
with
the
gas
Y'all
remember,
so
deep,
sunshine,
ride
on
'em
Y'all
remember,
so
deep,
sunshine,
ride
on
'em
Y'all
remember,
so
deep,
sunshine,
ride
on
'em
Y'all
remember
when
y'all
had
to
let
'em
breathe
Ride
on
'em,
ay
