In 2 Deep
Damian Lyrics

Want to commit suicide
Feeling hopeless and overwhelmed

'Cause you've been denied of your 9 to 5
Depressed due to lack of work

You're in 2 deep
Feeling trapped and helpless

And you're over 10
Middle-aged

And watch CNN and believe everything
Easily influenced and manipulated

And your 35 and you still survive
Feeling unfulfilled despite reaching middle age

Idle 'pon corner side
Unemployed and aimless

And your 55 and don't have a child
Feeling unfulfilled due to lack of family or children

For your joy and your pride
Desiring love and companionship

And yuh riding a freak
Engaging in promiscuous behavior

And she love how you do it and your condom deplete
Having unprotected sex with multiple partners

And she seh, "Baby please"
Asking for more from a partner who cannot provide it

And you're weak in the knees and kick off and release
Giving in to temptation and losing self-control

Then you hear from the streets
Experiencing consequences for poor decisions

Seh she full of disease and you start to sneeze
Contracting an STD and suffering physical symptoms

All months and fi weeks
Suffering from an STD for weeks or months

All food yuh nuh eat and you weight start decrease
Failing to take care of oneself and becoming sickly

So don't be in 2 deep
Advising against making poor decisions

For you wi' incomplete
Unfulfilled and unsatisfied

When you drop in the streets
Experiencing consequences for one's actions

You wi' drop in 2 deep
Feeling overwhelmed and trapped in a difficult situation

And don't be in 2 deep
Urged to make better choices

You a war against the beast
Struggling against personal demons or addiction

And when things fi squeeze, that's when you-a freeze
Freezing up and unable to handle difficult situations

And you one a bleach
Trying to change oneself or one's circumstances but not succeeding

And you drop asleep and machine a beat
Distracting oneself with music or other means instead of facing problems

You exult and hype
Falsely portraying oneself as someone they are not

Like you fling Dandimite and nuh live gangster life
Trying to appear tough or intimidating but failing

And a run off you beak
Talking too much or getting oneself into trouble

And your thing go breach and bad man go see it
Making mistakes and being exposed to danger or criticism

Then if a one police
Being caught by the authorities

Find you with yuh piece and you start to squeal
Betraying oneself or others to avoid punishment

And you get release
Avoiding consequences for one's actions

Man a circle you neat and you think it nuh real
Feeling invincible or immune to danger or punishment

Then true things go sleep
Ignoring reality and consequences

You go decide to sneak some coke in your crease
Turning to drugs to cope with difficult emotions or situations

It's in 2 deep
Experiencing intense and dangerous situations

And go overseas
Trying to escape or run away from problems

And same time you reach, dog sniff out you crease
Being caught and exposed for illegal behavior

He's in 2 deep
Feeling overwhelmed and in over one's head

Your mama incomplete
Feeling a lack of support or love from family

You a brag 'bout your wealth
Overcompensating for one's insecurities or shortcomings

And speak of yourself, like you're someone else
Falsely portraying oneself as more successful or important than they really are

When you just start to grow
Making mistakes and learning as one grows

But you think you a pro, 'cause you see it inna show
Overestimating one's abilities or knowledge due to media or entertainment influence

Think you know everything
Arrogance and overconfidence

And worship the bling and deny the King
Valuing material possessions over spiritual or moral values

Mesmerized by the beat
Being distracted or influenced by music or other forms of media

CD on repeat, memorizing my speech
Repeating the same patterns of behavior or thought

Your papa incomplete
Feeling a lack of guidance or support from family

And you a war against the beasts
Struggling against inner demons or destructive habits

And you drop asleep and don't shut the freezer
Neglecting responsibilities and self-care

And true things go sleep
Avoiding or denying reality and consequences

In 2 deep
In a dangerous or overwhelming situation

Incomplete
Unfulfilled, lacking, and unsatisfied

In the streets
Facing consequences for one's actions in the real world
