Never pictured drowning in your love, lounging in your love/no make-up and weave out, miss you when you leave out/f#ck you when you return, suck you til’ my knees burn/chemistry like no perm, natural/naturally, i had to be the boss of sh#t, capricorn/casually you let responsibility fall all on me/wanted you to lead, needed you to be hnic/walk it like you talk it, make me want to act submissively/man this water deep, i ain’t feeling it, i ain’t feeling safe/you watching me fall, you letting us sink deeper every day
You knew i couldn’t swim when you met me/ i wasn’t trynna get my hair wet, but you swеat me/swept me off my feet, told mе you got me/it was meant to be, blah blah blah/now my feet can’t reach, left me in the deep end
You left me in the deep end… (yes)
This feels like my father leaving all over again (yup)/it was ’96 (yup), i was barely six (word)/made me promises and broke ’em, just like you/told me he would teach me how to swim, didn’t, just like you/tall handsome and funny, that n#gg# ain’t sh#t, just like you!/i’ve been needing him, no wonder i been looking for you/my heart got some holes, i loved you with the healthiest part/i know i ain’t perfect, i warned you about all of my scars (f#ck it)
You knew that i couldn’t swim when you met me/ i wasn’t trynna get my hair wet, but you sweat me/swept me off my feet, told me you got me/it was meant to be, blah blah blah/now my feet can’t reach, left me in the deep end
You left me in the deep end, we’re drowning in the deep end… (yes)
This is for all my black girls who don’t know how to swim
We out here, with our life jackets on
Taking care of everybody else
Loving out of our lack
Still bossing up on these n#gg#s
In the deep end…
Yes… yes
