On My Mind II (Breathe)

Sit back and watch the short film, I survived the south
Where they use tools to put your kids out, word of mouth
Can’t share my oxygen, or wear the shoes I snapped in
It’s a cold justice, takes a killer to be in prison
Money fiend, go get a meal, shoot for the stars, get a deal
Greedy niggas can’t educate, so I don’t relate
And these bitches loved to fight like Real Housewives
Every scene a person cry about their issues and their life
Never meant this way and, came a long way and
Had to find a shortcut, finish the strong way
Community service, yes I did, never again be in trouble
Erase my school profile, cause my past lived in foul
How can I right my wrongs? Everyday’s a same old song
Same emotion, same old pain, nothing for me to gain
I don’t play no games, no answers to these questions
The influence runs deep like the oceans
So you gotta
Breathe, my patience runs deep
They say I gotta sleep
But I’m not weak, so I gotta
Breathe, lot on my plate
A lot on my mind
I know I’m gonna shine, so I gotta
Breathe, I know I can’t stay
Some things need to change
Materials I wanna bring, so I gotta
Breathe, my people need to breathe
Everybody can’t sleep
So I sit back and told myself
We all gotta
Breathe
Earth is turning, life’s fainting, fast pacing
I’m too spacey, too lazy, that’s my assuming
Ain’t no pussy raps in my music, that’s a fact
I talk about deep shit, the people don’t want that
Artistic flow, told the world, this is who I am
Fuck what the government says, we blacks got two options
Shoot us down or kill our own, we just want to be alone
While I’m on my TV screen, Friday night, Nia Long
Homes need a facelift, the fam needs a new whip
Spent my cream to chase my dream, got my brand, got my city
Got a team, speak in tongues, don’t know how to preach my gift
Regrets the last thing you want to live your life with
Bleed blue the Carolina way, Tar Heel state
Raleigh where I lay, the ground paved my way
Bleed blue the Carolina way, Tar Heel state
Hate seeing red, I wanna see gold
I want you all to
Breathe
