Breath Well you can make any day the greatest day* Just visualize peace when you play this I'm not saying my whole life's a meditative state But I was calm cool collect when I lay this Call me the grouch But I don't get upset Kick a verse through the speaker, get my guda then jet Back to my fam I live the life of a man Two cars, two dogs, a wife and a plan I told you I was making sense All else will make you crazy like following trends But keeping up with the neighbors won't save you I'm deep enough to know myself, now that's major
And I'm proud of me No male figure to teach me how to be, oh well Too weak to reach outerly I shoulda known, If all was good at home, I wouldn't have grown I put it in poem to show 'em a better way Something abstract and clever, not led astray Break bread, make good, await And we takin' this hip-hop back to self-creation Meaning I can say whatever I want And I don't gotta act a certain way to make a chunk Ain't a chunk just because it's not the same as before Temptation lures, but my aim is pure
[Chorus:] It used to be stress, now it is breath It used to be broke, now it's invest It used to be faded, and now it's controlled It used to be underground, now it's known It used to be young, and now It's classic It's still good music, and it still is magic I still am feeling true to myself, my family, my friends, my everyone else
And now I'm smarter I put a filter on my water, and I bless my home cus I'm raisin' a daughter Can't be a porn addict no more, that's smaller than who I'm supposed to be Hoes, please don't holler {hey Grouch} I can hear the call of the wild: Another man down, swallowed by the mob of the crowd But I hold my ground, speak loud, tell 'em: Simple is the new cool, young fool Sober is the new drunk Pregnant's new skinny How long you gonna fuck the world and ride on enemies? Supply amenities, I use em I don't rely on crutches though, plus it's oozin' out the pores of my skin Pure truth, and when combined with the beat, you feel the music Literally healing movement Watch the expressions change from blank to student And all the people say 'don't stop doin' it' So I won't be one to badly influence them again Just feel my soul is ink from the pen I think, fill a hole for every now and then
[Chorus:] It used to be stress, now it is breath It used to be broke, now it's invest It used to be faded, and now it's controlled It used to be underground, now it's known It used to be young, and now It's classic It's still good music, and it still is magic I still am feeling true to myself, my family, my friends, my everyone else
