Exhale

Hey

Yeah

Nat King

Yeah

Just let it ride man

Yo
I been feeling my lowest, and though I write like a poet
My heart's becoming more stoic, stowing my love and emotions
My anger's getting too potent, I focus hard on what's broken
Wishing that I was more open, but severin' ties is me copin'
Becoming passive with my passion in life
Afraid of fading into darkness but I'm fighting the light
Waking up every morning hoping my choices are right
'Cause everytime shit went left, left me wonderin' why
Frustrated, there were nights I contemplated suicide
I hesitated, 'cause if I waited, then maybe I'll be fine
Still I debated and as of lately I'm feelin' alright
That overstatement is blatant, another bold face lie
Uh

Just need a moment to breathe
I been suffocating reaching for a moment of reprieve
Yeah
Just need a moment to breathe
I been working through the pain searching for my inner peace
Uh
Just need a moment to breathe
Locked inside my own thoughts got me wanting to leave
Yo
Just need a moment to breathe
Letting go of all the hate, in this breath I release

My momma praying that I find what I need
But that pressure to be better got me feelin' so bleak
'Cause expectations you created gotchu tryna shield me
And every mistep I take, got me feeling so guilty
Poppin' in and out of reality, my mentality
Of simply not caring becomes more of a fallacy
Growing up and looking back, those days becoming fantasies
Just thinkin' back to a time where I lived happily
I struggle with letting go, I keep those galleries
So I can look back on brighter days whenever I'm feelin' low
I document my lowest days so I can see how I've grown
And nowadays I'm too ashamed to say don't leave me alone
Uh
Scary thoughts on the daily, but really why would I share?
Cause youd just say that I'm crazy, but I feel like I'm impaired
Stepping over my problems, but frankly you never cared
So maybe now that I'm gone you'll say you tried to be there

Just need a moment to breathe
I been suffocating reaching for a moment of reprieve
Yeah
Just need a moment to breathe
I been working through the pain searching for my inner peace
Uh
Just need a moment to breathe
Locked inside my own thoughts got me wanting to leave
Yo
Just need a moment to breathe
Letting go of all the hate, in this breath I release

Okay, I'm good

(Breathe, nigga breathe)
