Deep Waters

[Verse 1: Zi]

Reality's a hard thing to cope with

And it gets critical when you get tired of hoping

Your life sucks but you swore to never give up

You're picturing your future hoping that there's better to come

But sometimes reality just catches you up

And this is when you catch yourself pouring death in a cup

You go from drowning your worries to drowning in your worries

Start to wake up late although you go to bed early

You could've been a doctor a teacher an attorney

Now you're not even sure if you'll ever make it to thirty

Used to have a dollar and a dream

You just killed that dream with a dollar

Couldn't find no open door so you've opened a bottle

And though it ain't funny it's ironic

How trying to get away got you hitting rock bottom

Can't say that was a smart move

Hoping for a bright future drunk in a dark room



[Verse 2: Zi]

Some people drink to forget you drink to have something to remember

You're 'bout to hit the club it's the 31st of December

Kiss your daughter good night thank God you found a baby sitter

Meet up with a few friends and hit the liquor store

So once you get there you're just ready to get down on the floor

Music banging plus you know the DJ 'cause you've been there before

And all night you'll be drinking some more

And some more and some more

'Cause it ain't fun if you don't get drunk

You're acting so dumb but it's so much fun

Celebrating life and the fact that you're still young

Imagine all the crazy things that you wouldn't have done

But now it's time to leave the party 'cause it's like quarter to six

You're drunk but confidant that you can make it to the crib

Your eyelids are getting heavy and you try to resist

Close your eyes for a second now you're driving off the bridge



[Verse 3: Zi]

You're at this party fine women everywhere it's like a movie

You're feeling fresh mood is set the DJ's playing Juicy

You spot one and walk up to her staring at the booty

To go home with that cutie's like a duty

Exchange a few words and buy the chick a drink and shit

2 hours later she's the chick you're leaving with

Half hour later she's the chick you're sleeping with

And last time you heard from her told you she was pregnant and she's keeping it

'Cause when you stopped to get that bottle you forgot the condoms

You thought it wouldn't've been a problem 'til you find out you're a father

And now you're thinking if she wants to keep it well be it but you

Never wanted that kid

So you ignore the situation acting like your daughter doesn't exist

But seven years later someone shows up at the door to your crib

Telling you her mother just died after driving off a bridge

See you were picturing your future hoping that there's better to come

But sometimes reality just catches you up

And this is when you catch yourself pouring death in a cup

Yeah pouring death in a cup

Yeah pouring death in a cup
