Deep End
Lil Baby & Gunna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know they ain't feelin' my pain
I got Codeine inside my veins, yeah

I don't know who gassed you niggas up, go get a refill
We got them sticks, we in the field, we playing defense
He got his ratchet, no life jacket ready to dive in
Lil' homie thuggin', he can't even swim, he in the deep end
They offering the shooter the death penalty, won't tell on me
I know if I go broke today the same hoes gon' bail on me
I got them throwing salt they steady trying to fuck up my recipe
Amiri jeans a hundred a pair, ain't nothing about a nigga cheap
Selling weed in the projects, relapsed on the Hi-Tech
Told the gang that we up next, put them on a G5 jet
Overseas with my sidepiece, my queen she gotta be a dimepiece
We gon' stick together like assigned seats, on that Dej Loaf, nigga try me
Whoever thought I'd put a hundred on my neck
Whoever thought that I'd say I'm the one up next
Whoever thought they'd ever consider me the best
Whoever thought, whoever thought

I don't know who gassed you niggas up, go get a refill
We got them sticks, we in the field, we playing defense
He got his ratchet, no life jacket ready to dive in
Lil' homie thuggin', he can't even swim, he in the deep end

Go and ask about me in the streets, they heard of me
If she find out I been creeping she gon' murder me
I ain't tripping, no complaints, I got my currency up
Out of town I let the windows down so they can see us
I take the hitters around the globe that's all I know
I met her last night she tried to give me her soul
I got them hating, they throwing shots, they on their toes
One thing they know, one thing they know
Ain't gon' let up on them niggas, once you try us ain't gon' stop
If it's pressure let me know so we can pull up with them Glocks
Trying to dodge the bullshit and trying to make it to the top
But if I never sell a record I'ma make it on the block
How you gon' wait 'til I make it then try to help me nigga I don't need you
I put the food on the table, nigga was hungry I tried to feed you
Treat all my niggas like bosses, nobody better and everybody equal
Real talk this the sequel, hold it down for my people

I don't know who gassed you niggas up, go get a refill
We got them sticks, we in the field, we playing defense
He got his ratchet, no life jacket ready to dive in
Lil' homie thuggin', he can't even swim, he in the deep end
I don't know who gassed you niggas up, go get a refill
We got them sticks, we in the field, we playing defense




He got his ratchet, no life jacket ready to dive in
Lil' homie thuggin', he can't even swim, he in the deep end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Baby's song "Deep End" depict the rapper's life struggles and how he overcomes them, despite the lack of support from those around him. In the first verse, he talks about his addiction to codeine and his experience of feeling misunderstood by others who cannot relate to his struggles. It is a common theme in Lil Baby's songs to express his feelings of being judged by those who are not familiar with his situation. He then talks about his success and how he is proud to show off the fruits of his labor, including expensive clothes and extravagant trips with the people he cares about.


The chorus of the song reinforces the theme of being thrown in the deep end, where Lil Baby compares himself and his crew to swimmers who are not familiar with the pool, treading water with no life jackets. This metaphor encapsulates the rapper's journey to the top, where he had to overcome many obstacles but never gave up on his goals. The final verse is a testament to his loyalty to his friends, his desire to succeed, and his willingness to stand up for himself in spite of all the setbacks he faced.
