Deep Blue City

[Verse 1]
Come, come child, wade in the water now
I think I shoulda stayed in a part of town
Where the guns don't go
He a martyr now
Die for a color, color me back lil' sucka
It's a war outside
I could feel it in the air, never scared
I was born outside
'Cause my daddy taught a playa how to pray
And now I'm prayin'
I don't strain, my city taught me 'bout survival of the fittest
In my 59FIFTY with the brim low
I just do it for the fam, Carl Winslow
Yellin', "We got the, we got the day
We got to seek out, to seek out the wave"
On the westside
Runnin' from the police that's right
Momma catch me put a whoopin' to my black body
I'm sorry, I'm prolly in the wrong
But the wind's so strong in the deep blue city

[Chorus]
You won't be lonely
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue city
You won't be lonely
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue city
In the deep blue city, in the deep blue city
Wind blowin', waves crashin'
Stay open, swim faster
In the deep blue city, in the deep blue city
Wind blowin', waves crashin'
Stay open, swim faster, oh

[Verse 2]
I can see the moon in the streetlight
Tell me why the sun gotta settle down
I see the torn, the people mourn, the peace is gone
Tell me when it's gon' come around and cover up the color grey
Gaze at the grave of ya neighbor
Tell me do you got love for your neighbor?
Tell me do you got trust in the Savior?
Or is it just a sad story of the see-you-laters
We living in the age of contending
Planted in the game of pretend see
Grown cold, who next to fold, who next to you
If your love is my love, then we got to prove it
The wind gon' blow and the night gon' fall
And the day gon' come when the right stand tall
And the wrong get left, hope this song stay kept
In ya chest while you take yo' steps in the deep blue city

[Chorus]
You won't be lonely
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue city
You won't be lonely
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue, in the deep blue
In the deep blue city
In the deep blue city, in the deep blue city
Wind blowin', waves crashin'
Stay open, swim faster
In the deep blue city, in the deep blue city
Wind blowin', waves crashin'
Stay open, swim faster, oh
