That's Shallow Video (MV)

That's shallow!

And I'm just too deep
You refuse to learn, I learn when I sleep
Please, don't even talk to me
Your whole mentality is controlled by TV
Nothing worth mentioning on the topic of spirituality
Negativity, you're a waste of energy
Your presence be hindering all that's surrounding
And that's not down with me, cause that be

Shallow!

And I just can't dig it
The economy's going down and you're going down with it
Materialistic, you ain't better than me, bitch
Just cause your rich and superficial, wait 'til the tables switch
I won't be like this, cause I'm not like that
I pick my friends by the way they act
We interact, and say whatever's on our minds
You'd rather talk smack behind my back and I find that that's

Shallow!

And it works both ways
Cause we're different, you don't want to hear what I say
But make way, cause I just may not be
From the ghetto, but the meadow, technically
Not from the alley, but the valley, but the shallow can't see past that
See me for my rap, can't choose where I'm from (here I be), only where I'm at
And in fact my social stat never helped fight back the mental trap
And I conclude that
If you could choose you know you would choose my shoes, cause you (can't rap)

Shallow!

And I won't even address relationships
Cause where I'm from, most girls be too shallow to get with
Cosmetic, too caught up in appearance
External beauty is a temporary myth, you need to hear it
Beauty of the mind is what attracts me
No need to neglect your temple, just see that your spirit is most lovely
So assemble yourself however you best be fit
If you can't solve the puzzle just figure the picture that's in it
There's no winning it, when remaining distracted
Sure I admit it, I need a woman who's physically attractive
But beyond that, don't be affected negatively
Don't let the beauty blind the sunshine of your personality
Or those rosebud lips of your smile might close up in denial, and that would be:

Shallow!

Like, why do I dress grungy?
Why are you wondering?
If my appearance doesn't meet dress code adherence
I don't give a f*ck
I really don't care too much what I wear, I ain't a player or a thug
I don't like to stick out, or make fashion statements, or be a walking advertisement
I don't need an extensive wardrobe, or a chemical fragrance, for female enticement
I like my hair how it is, maintenance free, so I'm not getting my hair cut
I don't like shopping for shit, that's more expenses for me
So I keep my clothes 'til they wear out, what?
You got a problem?, Then let me know
How low can you go and still be so?

Shallow!

Like a little puddle
You got no real friends, now let me hear the rebuttle
"Nanananaananah!"
You're under pressure cause you lack what's funda - in your mental
You hold no loyalties, only the gall to wonder what I meant so
You're meltin' like butter
I scold all ya'll whack emcees, cease with this intent to plunder
Might Jah lick you with diseases
And then you might stop biting me like fleas and leeches
Me, I could never be this

Shallow!

Cause I'm deep like a hole to China
While you ignore karma, it creeps up right behind ya'
It's unavoidable, so now you're chillin' nervous
It's your whole attitude, you're barely scratching the surface
Can you dig it, dude?, You really should strive for depth
Otherwise you might be deprived of breath
I'm not the kind to step, unless it's life or death
Why die, when it's only a side, right or left?
Decide, because there's no time left
Put aside all foolish pride and derive respect
Or remain

Shallow!
As low as it gets
