Breathe

[Chorus]

Lately I been feeling like my thoughts are on the rise

I've been tryna cure my spirit before it truly dies

Smiley Wiley's what they call me, but they don't see my cries

My breath is taken far away when I'm hearing from both sides

Let me breathe, let me breathe

Let me breathe, let me breathe


[Verse 1: Luke Wiley]

Yeah

When does it go away? Never

Everybody tryna dance with the Devil

I'm tryna levitate and go up a level

Get hit by the bass, they ignoring the treble

They duplicates, I'm busy losing it

Call me like, "Who is this?"

Got no attention for those in the music biz'

I got some problems, and music, I'm using

And God has given gifts and I'm not abusing it

Give you a reference

Everybody closest to me is foreign, I'm stressing

If I didn't have a mic, I'd be stuck in the world

And I don't think, my son, I'd be impressing

Fuck that, I don't ever need nobody, you can trust that

I don't need a bunch of money and a must-have

Work hard, not believing in a luck path


[Bridge: Luke Wiley]

I've had enough of everybody not loving everybody

It's tough to sell your body, but what of your mind?

I feel attention spans shrinking like we're stuck in a Vine

Everybody want a piece when you are up in the grind, but I am with it

You can collect the crumbs that I'm spitting

I give it back to the people regardless of definitions, that's my vision

I gotta get rid of the way I'm feeling

It's now or never so someone cut the ribbon

Because


[Chorus]

Lately I been feeling like my thoughts are on the rise

I've been tryna cure my spirit before it truly dies

Smiley Wiley's what they call me, but they don't see my cries

My breath is taken far away when I'm hearing from both sides

Let me breathe, let me breathe

Let me breathe, let me breathe


[Verse 2: Luke Wiley]

Yeah

I feel like I'm suffocating while they laughing

Mental is fluctuating in the madness

Guess I been rushing patience, gotta have it

This is a dusty nation filled with taxes

Brackets, tactics, all that you needing is practice

Presidential, you can grab it

I'm not my father, I'm happy

If he seen a problem, he would just tab it

Can only imagine, no dragons

I'm a sucker for pain but I can't grasp it

Use the logic obtained 'cause I'm old fashioned

Don't got love for the fame or the attraction

More than I love the game and my own passion

I'm passing it to Lazarus

Give a definition of the name and imagine it

I felt like every single button and started mashing it


[Verse 3: Dizzy Wright]

Still tryin' to cope with that

How folks vote for that?

I said the realest shit ever and they won't react

You can smoke to that

Never lose hope and I hope for that

I remember back in the cul-de-sacs

Still get it in but I'm overlapped

Why we all stuck in the mobile apps?

I'm gonna spaz out, better hold me back

Show enough interest

I'm in a different dimension

I'm here to kill all the tension, wait

I'm not afraid, I just gotta get your time of the day

I feel like I'm in a phenomenal place

Waiting on a small wind, something my momma would say

But ay, I don't know if I'm found yet

Negative energy follow me and I don't even like to be around that

You know what I'm focused on, that's my kids

Gotta teach 'em what I did

Gotta tell 'em why I smile

Gotta show 'em how to live

Get up whenever you fall, even when life get real

Had to embrace what God was doing

Even when I didn't have no meals

Bottled up my emotions, put 'em in rhymes and make it appeal

Give it a feel, all I'm doing is spreading my light

Isolated myself, got all my help so I could get myself right

'Cause man


[Chorus]

Lately I been feeling like my thoughts are on the rise

I've been tryna cure my spirit before it truly dies

Smiley Wiley's what they call me, but they don't see my cries

My breath is taken far away when I'm hearing from both sides

Let me breathe, let me breathe

Let me breathe, let me breathe


[Outro]

Child, child, child, don't cry

You can live your life, just not on your time

Tell me, do you feel that? Feel trapped?

You get it and they steal that? Steal that?

Little boy or girl, look for joy in world

Hard to get your toys back in this poison swirl of thoughts
