Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to feel like
Everywhere I'm the same
I didn't know then
What I know now
A race is just a game
[Verse 2]
Whoa, hmm-yeah
It don't get deeper
Whoa, hmm-yeah
It don't get deeper
[Verse 3]
Oh, better brace yourself
'Cause you will need time
Wrap it in your mind
'Cause you'll never be the same again
Oh, go, negro, go find yourself
Go, go kneel down
Go kiss that ground
'Cause nothing's gonna really change
Hmm...
[Verse 4]
When shit gets deep in the bottom
Deep in the bottom
You can't go deeper
Than the bottom
They gets deep in the bottom, ah
Deep in the bottom
You can't get no deeper
Than the bottom of Africa
[Verse 5]
Whoa, hmm-yeah
It don't get deeper
Oh, no, again
Oh, whoa, hmm-yeah
Can't get no deeper
Than the bottom
[Verse 6]
Oh, incognegro orphan child
Go sing your song
Go get things right, get things wrong
Everything is about to change
Racing races out of breath
Go pace your steps
Make a social life out of social death
Everything changes
He said go look, look, look in the mirror and see
Look at you, sista, look at me
Are we really just the same?
I said I'm black, black, black
As coffee with no creme, see
Africans be knowing who I be
And nothings ever been the same
[Verse 7]
Oh, you better get deep in the bottom
Deep in the bottom
Can't get no deeper
Than the bottom
Hmm, you got to get deep in the bottom
Deep in the bottom
Can't get no deeper than the bottom of Africa
[Verse 8]
Whoa
It don't get deeper
Whoa, hmm-yeah
It don't get deeper
[Verse 9]
I used to feel like
Everywhere I'm the same
I didn't know then
What I know now
A race is just a game
[Verse 10]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, deep in the bottom of
Shit gets deep, shit gets deep
Shit gets deep, shit gets deep
Shit gets deep, shit gets deep
Shit gets deep, shit gets deep...
