Leaf Erikson - Thought Deep Lyrics

Off the top rope like a Luchador, My Emotion pour from the sky like Tupac Shakur

Cup full of liq-uor, floor to the top shelf

Lookin' ct The Front Door, runnin' from my damn self

Main Source my strength, Lord Have Mercy

Totally Flip Mode, Roy cyers "Searching"

Map Quest, me and my Tribe through the Midwest

Open mic, cipher on the corner, Club Introvest

Test my knowledge and my worth, vs the best of the turf never artificial

Level metal ground, settle down or pedal to the floor now

Movin' at a speed and direction they can't figure out

Versatile, but some got a heart of stone, actin' on impulse so they left alone

I calibrate microphones, elevate vocal tones

(chhhh) deep breath in the afterglow



Every night these thoughts be deep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)

Every night these thoughts be deep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)

Every night, these thoughts (every day, every night, to keep), to keep, to keep

That's why it's 2 a.m. (2am) and I still can't go back to sleep



I was starvin' and hungry like most of the emcees that came before me, some dissed and ignored me

Shield and sword be, placed before me, even before I step in the booth begin recording

Moment I landed on Earth, I was a servant, before I had opinion, I knew I had a purpose

Built wit my people, at times I felt worthless

Conditions ain't change, political inertia

Cvoid the nonsense and all they projectile, animal kingdom filled wit reptiles

Carved out my place, so moooo-ve and get out the way

Mystikal, and this is the soul search, but spiritual, symphony up in each verse

These literary works, broken down and transferred

Still many feelings hurt from the very first birth



Every night these thoughts be deep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)

Every night these thoughts be deep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)

Cuz every night these thoughts be deep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep (I pray the Lord my soul to keep)

But it's 3 a.m. (3 am) and I still caint go back to sleep (still caint go back to sleep)

Just (just, just, just)... get to know yo self (know yo self, ahhh, ahhh), s'times just get to know yo self (s'times, yo, yo, yo self, uhh)

(So, so, s'times) S'times you gotta (you got know, you got to know)... know yo self

(You got to know) If you don't know yo self (you got to know, you got to know), then you know one... else (else, at all, involved, at all, at all)

These thoughts keep (keep goin') runnin' through the mind, s'times (through the mind... s'times, s'times)

We thank God for music (thank you), keepin' us at a level place (all day).... Everyday (uhh)....cnywa
