The problem's getting' worse, a modern 1970, 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 (Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 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' (in your mind) In your 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 (Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Tell the truth, was it you? What do you want from me? Is it real? Are we fools? What do you want from me? I'm so 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' (in your mind) In your 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, 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!)
