* best guess only on the reggae patois
[Papa Juggy]
Cha cha cha
Hey watch out rude bwoy
You see how tight Bo$$ come man?
She just come down DANGEROUS!

"Is that what time it is Boss?"
"Yo what the fuck is wrong with you?"
"This is deep, but I'm goin deeper.."

[Bo$$]
I don't really want to feel
like I'm in a daze so I smoke big kill
Just to deal with the ills like this fucked up trip (damn)
My skills ain't payin bills
and it's fuckin with me and my grip (I hear you)
I drink that St. Ide's shit
and smoke a ticket at the same time
Drop a wicked bomb on my naughty nature
I'm livin foul like a Nickerbocker (you livin foul?)
Bitch I'm not the woman to sleep but I'm lost (yo that's deep)
Cause I be on some ole' I'm tired of niggaz
tryin to come up off bitches type thing ("What can I do?")
And if I don't react the way he want he might swing
his little trick bitch ass in another direction
then don't even use protection
I hate stupid shit assholes can avoid
Yo! And if worse came to worse I'll run a fraud on unemployed
Cause who the fuck cares that I got gray hairs and can't sleep
Know what I mean? (Yeah hell yeah, that's deep)

Deeper and deeper .... "What can I do?"
Deeper and deeper .... "What can I do?"

"This is deep, but I'm goin deeper.."
[Bo$$]
Every now and then I start flippin and get to thinkin
bout deep shit beyond all that bullshit
I shoot at people (yeah I know what you mean)
but fuck it I'm evil
And I'm hip to every bitch tryin to get a grip
and every nigga tryin to get a grip but fuck that shit
And I say fuck that shit with my mighty middle finger
I'm heavy off into this rap shit, buckin singers
Yo I think I'm gettin tense (word?)
Cause my dollars ain't makin no fuckin sense; but then again
it's probably all that chronic that I smoked
I use to be like that when I was out there slangin dope
and lately I been flippin on some old paranoid shit
like lookin fuckers up and down tryin to start shit ("What can I do?")
cause I'm a hard bitch (So why don't you just soften up?)
I try to be cool but I get caught up when I go to clubs, straight up
I don't even trust myself (yo, you can trust me)
Fuck I know? (I'm just like you)
Riiiiiiight, that's deep

Deeper and deeper ....
Deeper and deeper ....

(Yo Bo$$ that shit you talkin bout that's some deep shit
I'm tellin you motherfuckers can't really get with that
relate to that shit)

[Papa Juggy]
Eh hey hey, I guess it's best we tell them mon
Everytime she come, she's detrimental mon
Yes mon, know dis
Hehehe, don't make me tell dem again mon, woyyy
She too hotta, tell-a-man she too hotta
Tell man she too hotta an' every posse know dat-ta
Yes, she too hotta, tell man she too hotta
For inside she come, she say de posse get flat come

[Bo$$]
Aiyyo, I got them buckwild thrills, livin foul kills
I'm tryin to get to Watts but I'm stuck in Baldwin Hills (damn)
Tryin to find myself for real though, check it
If I just rewind myself I'll see it ain't that hectic
why'all don't hear me talkin but its time to get a stack
Cause I'm about a second away, from goin back
to the corner slangin dope (now you know you don't want to do that shit)
gankin cluckers, jackin high, cappin marks
I may be loosin my mind but better that than my heart (I hear you)
I talk a lot of shit but I can back it all the fuck up
I'm real cool people until some bullshit get brung up
Look here, believe me I ain't comin out my crib
tryin to snap on life and run out and do some dumb shit
So I'll be takin another sip to relax me
And get them problems out my mind that distract me
Life is workin on my last nerve (yeah I hear you G)
I'll see yo' ass next week, peace (yo that shit is deep)

Deeper and deeper .... "What can I do?"
Deeper and deeper .... "What can I do?"
[Papa Juggy starts again and fades out..]




Deeper and deeper .... "What can I do?"
Deeper and deeper .... "What can I do?"

Overall Meaning

"Deeper" by Boss is a powerful and introspective song that delves into the struggles and challenges of the artist. In the beginning, Papa Juggy introduces the song with his reggae patois, calling attention to Boss's prowess as an artist. The song begins with Boss admitting to feeling numb and disconnected, as if she's in a daze. She copes with this by smoking weed, but she's frustrated that her skills are not paying the bills. She drinks St. Ide's malt liquor as well and drops a wicked bomb on her "naughty nature," admitting that she's living foul. She's not tired, but lost, and she's fed up with men trying to come up off women. She's worried what will happen if she doesn't react the right way to their advances, but she's also not interested in using protection.


Boss then moves on to deeper thoughts that haunt her every now and then. She admits to having evil thoughts and being deep in the rap game, pushing against singers. She's often tense because her money and work don't make sense, and she's paranoid about people who look at her the wrong way. She tries to be cool, but she gets caught up at clubs and doesn't even trust herself. The song ends with an introduction by Papa Juggy, warning everyone that Boss's arrival is detrimental because she's too hot to handle.

I'm tryin to get to Watts but I'm stuck in Baldwin Hills (damn)
I'm trying to make it big in my career, but I'm struggling


Tryin to find myself for real though, check it
I'm trying to figure out who I am and what I want

If I take a step back, things aren't as bad as they seem


why'all don't hear me talkin but its time to get a stack
No one listens to me, but it's time for me to make some money


Cause I'm about a second away, from goin back

to the corner slangin dope (now you know you don't want to do that shit)
To selling drugs on the street (although I shouldn't do that)


gankin cluckers, jackin high, cappin marks
Robbing drug users, mugging people, and killing targets


I may be loosin my mind but better that than my heart (I hear you)
I may be going crazy, but at least I'm not losing my morals


I talk a lot of shit but I can back it all the fuck up
I may talk tough, but I can really deliver


I'm real cool people until some bullshit get brung up
I'm a chill person until someone brings up drama


Look here, believe me I ain't comin out my crib
Believe me, I'm not leaving my house to cause trouble


tryin to snap on life and run out and do some dumb shit
Trying to act impulsively and recklessly in life


So I'll be takin another sip to relax me
I'll drink more to calm down


And get them problems out my mind that distract me
This will help me forget about my issues


Life is workin on my last nerve (yeah I hear you G)
Life is really getting to me and causing stress


I'll see yo' ass next week, peace (yo that shit is deep)
I'll talk to you later, this is a serious situation


[Papa Juggy starts again and fades out..]
The song ends with more Jamaican patois from Papa Juggy.
