FRESH AIR

[Intro: Eric Thomas]
He said, "I got a question for you," somebody answer the question for me. He said, "When you were underwater, what did you wanna do?" What's that word? He said, "I wanted to breathe." He told the guy, he said, "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful."

[Verse 1: j. sula]
Haven't felt nothing quite like the first time
Reading from my script and I got the worst lines
I been living life like it's in reverse, I'm
Feeling pretty mid kinda like my shirt size
Why do I struggle with the simple stuff?
Telling me to get it together
But the lines in the sand already written bruh
I been in the kitchen, I been cooking, no one listen though
Prayed on what to do, and God said to keep on spitting, bro
Gotta keep it pushing (yeah)
Climbing up the mountain and I almost lost my footing (yeah)
I been in the flower fields and I been in the weeds
Seem like all the rain's only pouring onto me, say
Always breathing in the fumes
And I'm tryna find a way to keep myself out of the tombs
Huh, I need some fresh air
Hiding all my secrets, you could never guess where

[Chorus: j. sula]
Out in the open, yeah yeah
I need some fresh air, ah
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, no
Open that window, I'm
Feeling clean when that wind blows
Then I inhale, yeah
Tryna get a breath of fresh air

[Verse 2: Jonny Farias]
As the smoke signals what’s raging, my brain is molten as magma
I experience conditions and pin it on the miasma
Swear there’s something in the air looming
Trying not to pass it down, fam
It’s a process tryna bounce back
Making the soundtrack for my descent into hysteria
Very aggressive messages, I’ll send ‘em to your stereos
Predicaments, I’m airin' ‘em out
But if home is where my heart is, I need a different design for my interior
Can’t afford a margin for error, ‘cause then I’m being remiss
My infatuations always make me feel weak in the chest
My temptations always stick around and bring me distress
Under siege by the Devil, fallin' like tears Jesus had wept
I'm in need of ventilation, the scene that's set's outrageous
The Grim Reaper and I share few degrees of separation
I keep inside and try to steer clear of suffocating
But in times of crisis, can't forget ‘bout breathin’, it could save you

[Chorus: j. sula]
Out in the open, yeah yeah
I need some fresh air, ah
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, no
Open that window, I'm
Feeling clean when that wind blows
Then I inhale, yeah
Tryna get a breath of fresh air

[Outro: Eric Thomas]
The only thing you tryna do is get some air. You don't care about no basketball game. You don't care what's on TV, you don't care about nobody calling you, you don't care about a party. The only thing you care about, when you tryna breathe, is to get some fresh air. That's it.
