[Verse 1]
I argue with my side thing (Yuh)
Way more than my main thing (Yuh)
I thought we were just fuckin'
I can't fall in love for nothin'
I can't lie to you for nothin'
I made you who you wasn't
We was candy crushin'

[Chorus]
But this shit getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep for me
Getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep for me
This shit too deep

[Verse 2]
Too aggravated, too complicated
More, more, more, more complicated
Le-le-le-less communication
Less conversation, more confrontation
I'ma catch a case, no exoneration
I'ma go to jail, now I'm contemplating
I don't know what you see in me
I don't ever wanna be with you
I don't know why you pass for it
Wasting energy texting me
Text messages, threat messages
I don't wanna think less of you, no (No)
I just wanna see the best for you, yeah

[Chorus]
But this shit getting too deep (Getting too)
Too deep (Deep, yeah)
Too deep for me (Getting too deep)
Getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Too deep) for me
This shit too deep

[Verse 3]
Too many steps, too many levels
Too many laps, too many hurdles
You don't wanna get hurt by me
I don't wanna be a crutch for ya
Too insane, too irritated
Too insufficient, too inconsistent
You just wanna talk, I don't wanna listen
Now I wanna talk, you don't wanna listen
I don't ever wanna lose you again
You don't ever wanna see me again
Say that I'm done, leave you alone
Mark you, then call you again (Again, again, again, again)
Again (Again, again)
Not like this usually

[Chorus]
But this shit's getting too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep (Yeah yeah)
Too deep for me
Getting too deep (Just a little too)
Too deep (Little too deep)
Too deep for me (Just a little too deep)
This shit too deep

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.
