Deep (feat. Nas)

[Nas]

The problem's gettin' worse

A modern 1973, Johannesburg

Man, it hurts to see a cop kill a black man alert

News flash, police shoot blacks

Distort facts

Quick attack, unarmed men, murder them

It's captured on cellphone video and they still let 'em go

When will they stop killin' 'em?

Askin' why is they killin' for?

White man with a gun apprehended, he still alive

Black man with a gun

He has no chance to survive

They gon' shoot him dead

Soon as they see the brown of his eyes

And they ask me: Why you ain't smilin' Nas?

Cause I have a son and I die inside

When I gotta tell him what was told to me

Can't play with your water gun son

'Cause the police see

A seven years old as a threat

They think it's right to kill a seven years old on sight

'Cause he ain't white

So baby if I'm actin' uptight

When our conversation is weak, it ain't you

It's just it ain't that deep

[Robin Thicke]

We could be everything, everything that we ever needed

Everything that we ever wanted to be, we could still be

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep

(Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Paradise, sacrifice, what do you want from me?

Pay the price, more than twice

What do you want from me?

When I'm wrong and you're right

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

In your eyes, I don't wanna see the pain you're holdin'

If you look in my mind

I don't wanna spend a lifetime for it

It's alright, I don't want to play this over

Living in a world I can't explain

It ain't that deep, we ain't gotta lose sleep baby

We could be everything, everything that we ever needed

Everything that we ever wanted to be, we could still be

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep

That, that, that, that, it ain't that deep

That, that, that, that, it ain't that

(Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Tell the truth, was it you? What do you want from me?

Is it you? Are we fools? What do you want from me?

I was in love with you, what do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

In your eyes, I don't wanna stop the fire burnin'

If you look in my mind

I don't wanna see your wheels keep turnin'

It's alright, I don't want to play this over

When I know that you're the one for me

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep, deep, deep, deep

It ain't that, that, that

[Nas]

Dismissin' got you livin' in your own prison

You need to leave that alone

Before you sittin' in an old folk's home alone with no visits

So exquisite but mess it up when you're tone's risen

And any day when you don't get your way

Gettin' mad at everything I say

And you don't think it's an emergency

A toupee wearin' liar's tryna run the U.S.A

You makin' our lives harder

You're like the argument queen

There's women out here going hard doing positive things

Slam dunkin' in games, directing movies like Selma

World's startin' to change and you actin' the same

'Cause you don't even see what I see in you

Next female president could even be you

Bringing' kids in the world that we gotta teach

Just give me good sex and give me peace

[Robin Thicke / Nas]

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep

(Nah shawty)

We could be everything, everything that we ever needed

Everything that we ever wanted to be, we could still be

It ain't that, that
