Lyrics:

Deva Mahal - Run Deep

My eyes are wide this morning
But my heart is heavy still
There’s a sea inside me
Storming ‘cause I’m battling with my will
Though I may grow tired and weary (ooh ooh ooh ooh...)
And there’s ache within my bones
I will fight for what I believe in
Even if I fight alone
I know that I’m gon’
Keep on moving on
Cause nobody can stop me yeah

Cause I gathered my armour
And I’m ready for battle
I’ve got my weapons drawn
Takin the road less traveled
And I’m ready to do this
And nobody can stop me
Cause I’m thoroughly convinced
This is my love and it runs deep

In my life
There have been many
Who have tried to break me down
But I know in my soul
Whoa oh ooh that I am upward bound
Doesn’t matter what they think of me (ooh ooh ooh ooh...)
Cause I know what I was born to be
I don’t do it cause it’s trendy
I hold onto my integrity
Manifest my own reality
And soon all them haters will see
That nobody can stop me yeah

Cause I gathered my armour
And i’m ready for battle
I’ve got my weapons drawn
Taking the road less traveled
And I’m ready to do this
And nobody can stop me
Cause I’m thoroughly convinced
This is my love and it runs deep

(Coco Peila rap)
Rap
"Little nappy headed skinny ass black girl
Back of the class
Didn’t try, I didn’t think I could pass
Didn’t fight cause I had already lost more than my share of battles
Before I hit double digits many tried to break me, make me give in
Listen
Not playing stupid so they don’t feel intimidated
Give up on my goals and dreams for theirs to be accommodated
Let them use my mind and body, making their s*** look bossy
Not speak up and use my gifts cause they might call me “b****” and “bossy”
Know in my Soul what I’m down here for
Exactly what I love
What Ma crowned me for
What I hold, they can’t touch
What I have, they can’t buy
Went toe to toe with doubt a couple of times, abandoned that lie
Yea I lost some battles but I’ll win the War
Haters stay underestimating; I’ll settle the score
Run deep like the blood in my veins
It gives me Fever
Won’t stop 'til I’m running The Game
Now sang it Deva"

Whoa ho oh oh oh
Cause I gathered my armour
And I'm ready for battle
I've got my weapons drawn (pop pop pop pop uhn)
Taken the road less traveled
And I'm ready to do this
And nobody can stop me ( Can't stop, won't stop)
Cause I'm thoroughly convinced (uh huh)
This is my love and it runs deep
Yeah
This is my love and it runs deep (Go girl, The queen)
Whoa ho
This is my love and it runs deep ( This is my love, this my love, this is my love)
This is my love and it runs deep (deep...)

I can't believe it took watching dating around to find her. Her voice is amazing and powerful. How is she not a household name across the world?!

This is so spiritual in nature. It's an ANTHEM! Yes! I love it! Deva Mahal, your voice is meant to break things honey... strong holds, walls, glass ceilings. There is a prize on those vocals...an anointing.
