Well, me don't swim too tough so me don't go in the water too deep.

In Jamaican Creole-inflected English, the speaker uses a simple, concrete metaphor: knowing one’s limits. If you’re not a strong swimmer, you avoid deep water; by analogy, if you lack skill, preparation, or support, you avoid situations where the stakes are beyond your capacity. The line can be read as pragmatic self-preservation rather than cowardice—an ethic of caution that contrasts with bravado. At the same time, it can imply strategic humility: assess risk realistically, choose environments where you can stay afloat, and don’t confuse confidence with competence.
