Breathe
[Verse 1:]
We livin’ in the twenty-first century
[?]
Half-man, half-machine, fully clueless
Dunno where we goin’
But better make movements
Whether shop rocks or trade stocks and futures
Twenty missed calls, hundred emails
Dance with the devil, the devil’s in details
Hubris, tryin’ to do too much, we fail
Chasing to-do lists and ruthless females
We all in retail
Shoppin’ and fuckin’
From the boss to the redundant
Properly buzzin’
With or without a substance
Gotta be rushin’
Hyperflix, no pause button, we love it
I detect other brothers can’t connect
Like wifi when the password protects
But when you move this fast, then it’s bound to fade
Like eye contact on a crowded train
So just
[Chorus:]
Breathe for a sec
Look around, can you feel it connect
Don’t rest you can sleep when you’re dead
It’s intense but I wouldn’t want less
Breathe for a sec
Look around, can you feel it connect
Don’t rest you can sleep when you’re dead
[Verse 2:]
Guess I’m a nomad
Never at home and
Munch on the go, hunched over a phone
Stand close to anonymous
[?]
Move out my way, same coat and it's old tan[?]
But underneath it’s all so lovely
Life’s on the fizz like open bubbly
Even the hipsters, shit-stirrers, and yuppies
Float like butterflies in my London tummy
My oyster card’s voice is hard but eyes moist
She's seen the path that calfed[?] through the noise
Can’t help but smile a tear for past glory
Peek at you blind[?], she’ll tell you a true story
Rocks[?] and break-ups, thugs and fake punks
Love drugs and ravers, entertainers
The rap set that's talkin'
Diamonds in the rough
RAT-A-TAT-TAT silence and he drops like
[Chorus:]
Breathe for a sec
Look around, can you feel it connect
Don’t rest you can sleep when you’re dead
It’s intense but I wouldn’t want less
Breathe for a sec
Look around, can you feel it connect
Don’t rest you can sleep when you’re dead
[Verse 3:]
Welcome to your life
It's fast-paced, waste no time
And ‘cause you’re busy I'mma document the hows and whys
Head down, sweat, frown
Break round, we rhymes
Loud beats and [?]
So it feeds your mind
I’ve seen all sides
Born on a pure faultline, see
Pistol-whipped and ships [?]
All the Paki ghetto thugs and the Oxbridge types
Politicians and shotters and they bury your lie [?]
So I tell you on the screen and bury your mic [?]
Spit harsh harnessing the times I write
Pick apart targets in my line of sight
Even if I say shit that you might not like
'Cause I [?]
I'm just dyin’ to get packed like Princess Di
When all I really want to do is witness life
Put all the bittersweetness and gift it live
So have a try
[Chorus:]
Breathe for a sec
Look around, can you feel it connect
Don’t rest you can sleep when you’re dead
It’s intense but I wouldn’t want less
Breathe for a sec
Look around, can you feel it connect
Don’t rest you can sleep when you’re dead
[Outro:]
So breathe
Breathe for a second
So breathe
Breathe for a second
So breathe
Breathe for a second
So breathe
Breathe for a second
So breathe
So breathe
Breathe for a second
