Run Deep
Deva Mahal Lyrics

And my eyes are wide this morning
I wake up with open eyes

But my heart is heavy still
But my heart feels heavy and sad

There's a sea inside me
I feel like there is a turbulent sea inside of me

Storming, 'cause I'm battling with my will
It's stormy because I'm struggling with my willpower

Though I may grow tired and weary
Even though I may become tired and exhausted

And ache within my bones
And feel pain in my bones

I will fight for what I believe in, even if I fight alone
I will still fight for what I believe in, even if I'm the only one

I know that I'm gon' keep on moving on
I know that I will keep moving forward

'Cause nobody can stop me, yeah
Because no one can stop me

'Cause I gather my armour
Because I am arming myself

And I'm ready for battle
And I am prepared to fight

I got my weapons drawn
I have my weapons ready

Taking the road less traveled
I'm taking the less common path

And I'm ready to do this
And I'm completely ready for this

And nobody can stop me
And no one can stop me

'Cause I'm thoroughly convinced
Because I'm completely sure

This is my love and it runs deep
That what I'm doing is my passion and it's very important to me

And my whole life
Throughout my life

There have been many who have tried to bring me down
Many people have tried to bring me down

But I know in my soul
But I know in my soul

Oh that I am upward bound
that I will succeed

Doesn't matter what they think of me
It doesn't matter what they think of me

'Cause I know what I was born to be
Because I know what I was meant to do in my life

I Don't do it, 'cause it's trendy
I don't do it because it's popular or trendy

I hold on to my integrity
I hold on to my integrity and values

Manifest my own reality
I create my own reality

And soon all them haters will see
And eventually, the people who don't believe in me will see

That nobody can stop me yeah
That no one can stop me

And the skinny ass black girl back in the class
I was the skinny, black girl sitting in the back of the class

Damn try than think I could pass
Many thought I wouldn't be able to pass

Then I fight 'cause I had already lost more than a shell
But I always fought because I had already lost so much

Of battles seafront why had, therefore she just let
Of battles I had already lost, so I refused to give up

Me try to break me wreck me, give up, listen
Even if people tried to break me, I never gave up

Now they're playing super sonic
Now I'm succeeding quickly

They don't feel intimidated give up on my dreams and goes for their to be accommodated
Now people don't feel intimidated and try to degrade my dreams to make room for theirs

Let them use my mind and body making that shit looks saucing
They tried to use me for their own benefit and make it look appealing

That's because they used my gifts 'cause they might call me bitch and boss me
They used my talents even though they belittled me and tried to control me

Now I opened my soul with them down, and fo'
But now that I've succeeded, they're following my lead

Exactly what they love when I crown me, fo'
They love me now that I'm successful

What I hold they can't touch
No one can take what I've achieved

What I had they can't buy
And it's something that they can't buy

When I told the folks they doubt it couple times I'm buried in that lie
But when I told people what I was doing, they doubted me for a while before finally believing in me

Ya I lost some battles, but I win the war
I may have lost some battles along the way, but I'm winning the overall war

Here to stand and estimated, I'll settle the score
I'm here to stay and keep fighting for what I believe in

Trendy like the blood in my vain, to give me fever
I refuse to follow popular trends and focus on my passion instead

And I still running till you divide
And I will keep going until I succeed

Go girl, the queen
Go girl, be the queen

This is my love and it runs deep
This is my passion and it's very important to me
