Deep and Wide
Aceyalone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breath out, breath in, breath out

there's a MC flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide
Rhymes I got plenty, keep 'em right by my side
Come and get a flow, jump inside the boat for the ride
There's a MC flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide

Now everybody up, odd man in
Fit to play a game of Russian roulette and God's fit to win
I hope you're equip for the adventure
Men to the front and the women and children to the back of the boat
Fit to be afloat in about fifty seconds
Better believe we brought enough free chicken for the picnic

And while the time is tickin'
Automated belt drive, felt tip scribe, I'm your guide
To the innermost, outermost post to the other side
Now my body is my temple and my temple is my prize

And my mind shine like the sun do
And here's a little word from the wise
You go up the river, down the creek, 'cross the lake
And over the stream tryin' to escape this M-C

there's a M-C flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide
What is it'
M-C's flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide
Rhymes we got plenty, keep 'em right by our sides
Come and get a flow, jump inside the boat for the ride
There's a M-C flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide
What is it'

Obviously, this happens periodically
It's not me, it's the God in me, I'm rappin' so melodically
Aeronautically, Aaron is I, Aaron is high, Aaron is flying
Why in me means the glare in your eye

they're in the lyin' down position, the music's a masseuse
Goin' through your body makin' all the tension loose
Audio boost their reaction means satisfaction
Seems to happen when I'm rappin' and they hear me clearly

And cheering even teary-eyed in the be-boy kingdom
We some rude stylish scattin', rappin' world twists
But that's just for audio analysis, the dopest, you diagnose this
But still don't get too close this, may have a ferocious side

there's an MC flowin' by deep and open wide
What is it'
M-C's flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide
Rhymes we got plenty, keep 'em right by our sides
Come and get a flow, jump inside the boat for the ride
There's a MC flowin' deep and wide, deep and wide
What is it'

Breath out, breath in, breath out
Yo ab, feel the wind blowin'
Breath in, breath out




Breath in, breath out
I am a universal soldier

I love this song. I used to always hear it when I played ESPN NFL 2K5.

Max Weaver

23,000 views? This is one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time. I have a feeling (or hope) that this song will get featured in an upcoming film or television show, and exposed to more people.

pirate772009

This was about the only song in the NFL 2K5 soundtrack that didn’t get old. This brings back so many memories of playing the darts and paper football mini games and decorating “The Crib” lol

Sean Fairley
