[Verse 1] I was sleepin’ on a torn-up couch Call from my mom, “boy, we gettin’ kicked out” Did dirt just to keep that light on Prayed hard, but the nights felt life-long Lost friends to the white and the pipe Lost time that I still can’t rewrite Every favor that I did came pricey Cut deep when the same ones denied me [Chorus] I went down, down, down in the deep Thought I’d drown with the weight on me Gave my blood just to fight for the weak No one there when it cut too deep (too deep) Now I’m climbin’ out, scars on my skin See the light tryin’ hard to get in I was lost in a war I can’t keep Now I’m back from the deep, from the deep [Verse 2] Put food on they plate, I was starvin’ Gave rides, now they pass when I’m walkin’ Same block where they laughed in my face Is the same block I’m leavin’ erased Therapist say “you ain’t just what you did” But the past still talks real loud to the kid Still hear every shout, every slam of that door But I’m buildin’ somethin’ they can’t burn anymore [Chorus] I went down, down, down in the deep Thought I’d drown with the weight on me Gave my blood just to fight for the weak No one there when it cut too deep (too deep) Now I’m climbin’ out, scars on my skin See the light tryin’ hard to get in I was lost in a war I can’t keep Now I’m back from the deep, from the deep [Bridge] Yeah I bled for the ones who would leave (who would leave) Held ‘em up while they leaned on me Now I’m learnin’ how to stand on my feet Still give love, but I guard my peace (my peace) [Chorus] I went down, down, down in the deep Thought I’d drown with the weight on me Gave my blood just to fight for the weak No one there when it cut too deep (too deep) Now I’m walkin’ back, head held high Got the past in the back of my mind See the sun when I open my eyes Yeah I’m back to a life I define (my life) I’m back from the deep, from the deep (oh yeah)
