Asthma & Pneumonia

Mama, I can't breathe

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Hand me my asthma medication, Mmm
My mama get it out with hesitation, Mmm
I got an asthma attack-tack-tack-tack
The devil all on my back-back-back
I know, Aye
That I’ll grow
Outta this one day, but I say
Mama, I can’t breathe out my face
Please let’s pray

I heard an ambulance siren
Then it was silent, Mama was gripping
My hand in the back of the van
And the men who were driving
Were cutting through traffic
Dipping through lights and
Adrenaline rised in
The hospital doctors
I was in awe cause the mentioning dying
Meanwhile my lungs are disguised in
Mucus and fluid, despite this
My mama was calmer than all
Cause she pray to a God that can loosen the tight grip
Of my burden, many
Weren’t even sure if I would see another 24
Now I’m 19, I was 5 then
I see you Lord
I see you Lord
I see you Lord

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

I know I’m blessed
Can’t only mention that sometimes
I know I’m blessed
Even if it’s no sunshine
Cause you never know when
You’ll go down the road
Underground sinking slow
Every mo-ment we own
We should cherish it and
Hold tight to the present moment
Hold tight to the present moment
Cause my mama told me life is precious
I am livin’ proof
Shouldn’t be taken for granted
You could leave here as a youth
Could have been taken off the deep end
Don’t you know, any time
Any place, any way, any day
Ohhhhh!

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Mama, I can’t breathe
I got asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia
Asthma and pneumonia

Too many times we busy planning
On this planet and we take for granted
Days later be beneath the granite
Pouting 'bout the way we drowning
I just find my way up out it
Talk to God and pray about it
Nothing you can hate about it
Now play that back and say the loudest

I am chilling
Regardless of my situation I am chilling
Regardless of my situation I am chilling
Asthma, Pneumonia, you got me
But I’m chilling
Cancer, you got me yeah you got me
But I’m chilling
Eviction notice on my door
I know I’m chilling
Death in the family
Tragedy, I’m chilling
Cause this is one moment
Out of a couple more million
We eternal baby

Cause you never know when
You’ll go down the road
Underground sinking slow
Every mo-ment we own
We should cherish it and
Hold tight to the present moment
Hold tight to the present moment
Cause you never know when you’ll go
