Deep Lyrics - Robin Thicke

The problem's gettin' worse, a modern 1973, Johannesburg 

Man, it hurts to see a cop kill a black man alert 

News flash, police shoot blacks, distort facts 

Quick attack, unarmed men, murder them 

It's captured on cellphone video and they still let 'em go 

When will they stop killin' 'em? Askin' why is they killin' for? 

White man with a gun apprehended, he still alive 

Black man with a gun, he has no chance to survive 

They gon' shoot him dead soon as they see the brown of his eyes 

And they ask me, "Why you ain't smilin' Nas?" 

Cause I have a son and I die inside when I gotta tell him what was told to me 

Can't play with your water gun son 'cause the police see 

A seven years old as a threat 

They think it's right to kill a seven years old on sight 'cause he ain't white 

So baby if I'm actin' uptight 

When our conversation is weak, it ain't you 

It's just it ain't that deep

We could be everything, everything that we ever needed 

Everything that we ever wanted to be, we could still be 

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep

Paradise, sacrifice, what do you want from me? 

Pay the price, more than twice, what do you want from me? 

When I'm wrong and you're right, what do you want from me? 

What do you want from me? 

In your eyes, I don't wanna see the pain you're holdin' 

If you look in my mind, I don't wanna spend a lifetime for it 

It's alright, I don't want to play this over 

Living in a world I can't explain 

It ain't that deep, we ain't gotta lose sleep baby 

We could be everything, everything that we ever needed 

Everything that we ever wanted to be, we could still be 

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep 

That, that, that, that, it ain't that deep 

That, that, that, that, it ain't that... 

(Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 

Tell the truth, was it you? What do you want from me? 

Is it you? Are we fools? What do you want from me? 

I was in love with you, what do you want from me? 

What do you want from me? 

In your eyes, I don't wanna stop the fire burnin' 

If you look in my mind, I don't wanna see your wheels keep turnin' 

It's alright, I don't want to play this over 

When I know that you're the one for me 

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep, deep, deep, deep 

It ain't that, that, that... 

Dismissin' got you livin' in your own prison 

You need to leave that alone 

Before you sittin' in an old folk's home alone with no visits 

So exquisite but mess it up when you're tone's risen 

And any day when you don't get your way 

Gettin' mad at everything I say 

And you don't think it's an emergency 

A toupee wearin' liar's tryna run the U.S.A 

You makin' our lives harder, you're like the argument queen 

There's women out here going hard doing positive things 

Slam dunkin' in games, directing movies like Selma 

World's startin' to change and you actin' the same 

'Cause you don't even see what I see in you 

Next female president could even be you 

Bringing' kids in the world that we gotta teach 

Just give me good sex and give me peace 

It ain't that deep, it ain't that deep 

(Nah shawty) 

We could be everything, everything that we ever needed 

Everything that we ever wanted to be, we could still be 

It ain't that, that...
