Deep End

You only wish when the stars out
You only try when it aint too hard
You only cheer when I'm sold out
You only play when they let you start
Don't want to sweat for the hard win
You can't get back what you aint gon' give
I like to swim on the deep end
I like to swim on the deep end

And that's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live

You shoot for the stars and they shoot back
Reach out for some love, but they scoot back
Maybe that might scare you but I'm not
I just spittin' bars to dem hard knocks

Long nights, no sleep, same clothes, no lie
Sun up, sun down, no watch, no time
Days blend into the next weekend
Revise, redo, bounce that, resend
And why do people call you an idealist
When all you're trying to do is be the realest
You can't control me I'm fearless
I just speak my soul, hope you feel this

You only wish when the stars out
You only try when it aint too hard
You only cheer when I'm sold out
You only play when they let you start
Don't want to sweat for the hard win
You can't get back what you aint gon' give
I like to swim on the deep end
I like to swim on the deep end

And that's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live

And we gone keep pushing and rocking, stomping the pavement
Til we kicking, we flying home back where Dave went
Every single second I'm counting
No time is wasted
Cause while you're fighting the struggle, we just embraced it

It aint gon' be easy (Nina)
Cause it never is (Zora)
That's why I don't stop (Maya)
I handle my biz (Angela)
I bet you my hustle (Mary)
Is better than his (Coretta)
I came from the bottom (Lina)
Do you know where that is

You only wish when the stars out
You only try when it aint too hard
You only cheer when I'm sold out
You only play when they let you start
Don't want to sweat for the hard win
You can't get back what you aint gon' give
I like to swim on the deep end
I like to swim on the deep end

And that's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live
That's just how I live

How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
How I live, how I live
