Deep-Verse: “You say life’s been hard on you.
Well brother I got news; it’s hard on me too.
We seem to face the same old issues.

And I know slavery has played its part, word.
Being separated and subjugated and that passes to the brain of a child

But I ain’t the world, my love, I’m your woman.
And I know how deep it really goes…”
