Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I've been trying not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I've been trying not to?


Stay on point

I've been trying to save my voice

But ya'll gave me no choice

The world gone mad, can't ignore this noise

Look at these people found dead in the streets

I got some partners that hate the police

Me I'm just trying to hold onto my peace

Cause I'm liable to lose it and go get the piece

I need a reason, I need a season

Pleaded with Jesus, all of this grieving

They be like F U and what you believe in

I do not trip, I keep it G

What in the H, you say in the I?

Ain't no JK when I'm talking to God

Don't need a reason to open my eyes

If I'm still breathing I'm running for my man


I've been doing better than I was before

I walk with a limp cause I've been wrestling with the Holy Ghost

Deep end of this pit but still somehow I keep on floating

Thought I lost my grip but God reminded me it's holy


I've been trying not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I've been trying not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I've been trying not to?


I might go crazy

I might go MJ back in the 80s

Back in the 90s I might go off

For they better not try me, it might get dicey

I ain't tryna go back to the old me

I'm tryna hang on like my mamma told me

Sometimes legs get weak and your arms give out

And you sink to the bottom slowly

A grown man wishing that somebody hold me

Never knew my daddy so nobody show me

Taught me how to walk through the storm when your heart feel heavy

And it's hard and you're feeling lonely and lowkey

High priest got the keys to the kingdom

Highkey low enough to bring them

And I need all of what he's bringing

I might go off the deep end, I just need another reason


I've been doing better than I was before

I walk with a limp cause I've been wrestling with the Holy Ghost

Deep end of this pit but somehow I keep on floating

Thought I lost my grip but God reminded me it's holy


I've been trying not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I've been trying not to go off the deep end

Give me a reason

I've been trying not to?
