Breathe

[Intro]
Big Blizz
Uh

[Verse 1]
Posters of Hov and Pac on the wall
I'm lookin' at this picture of a family I don't see at all
Little sister growin' up, ain't talked to her in months
But I know that when I'm in the city doing shows that she'll be in the front
Don't hold my lack of keeping up against me
Don't think I'm all about the money just because it tempt me
I'm still a man of principle now
The same as always, it's just my flaws are visible now
Cut me slack, I love 'em, I just hope they love me back
Our generation losin' way too many people that ain't comin' back
We all feel it, I know the pain, I know it well
I don't know why this shit's been happening
I just hope that time will tell, I gotta

[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe
You waited your whole life for this
You waited your whole life for this

[Verse 2]
Feel like I'll be stressin' 'til I'm dead and buried
Feel like I'll be dead before I'm ever married
Road to legendary, that look a lot like the road to failure
And people driving reckless, I'm forever wary
Headlights on, pitch black nights
Michigan made, so we got practice dodgin' black ice
Thank God, 'cause people love to trip you up
Seems like nowadays that people rather put you down than pick you up
It got me thinking logically and never with my heart
So relationships are few and far between and over from the start
No sympathy, I want it all still
I love my people, if I make it then we all will
No questions 'til it's over, no texting 'til I'm sober
But I'd rather live when I'm young than regret when I'm older
My grandpa told me, "Chase the dream and make the most of it"
Then handed me a check for gas, said, "Make it to the coast with it"
You gotta

[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe
You waited your whole life for this
You waited your whole life for this

[Verse 3]
Truthfully, I hold my tongue a lot
People pop off at the mouth, I just let my album drop
That's the way it should be if you rappin', keep it real
I don't rap so you feel happy, man, I rap so that you feel
Find me now somewhere between reality and dreamin'
Rap is finally payin' rent but I'm barely breakin' even
Still it's more than what I thought it'd be when I would go to work
With the newest J. Cole, but E would make me play my shit first
It used to make me cringe, now it make me proud as hell
Find me rollin' through your city playin' my shit loud as hell
People say 'The Parlay' about to get crazy rec'
But I've been in the lab workin', plottin', takin' baby steps
And if it happens, then it happens, we deserve it really
I'ma sign a dollar in my pocket, make it worth a milli'
She told me, "You gon' do everything you say
I know it, but you don't gotta do it all today, just..."

[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe
You waited your whole life for this
You waited your whole life for this

[Outro]
Let me hear that
