Lyrics Breath - The Grouch

Breath

Well you can make any day the greatest day*
Just visualize peace when you play this
I’m not saying my whole life’s a meditative state
But I was calm cool collect when I lay this
Call me the grouch
But I don’t get upset
Kick a verse through the speaker, get my guda then jet
Back to my fam
I live the life of a man
Two cars, two dogs, a wife and a plan
I told you I was making sense
All else will make you crazy like following trends
But keeping up with the neighbors won’t save you
I’m deep enough to know myself, now that’s major
And I’m proud of me
No male figure to teach me how to be, oh well
Too weak to reach outerly
I shoulda known, If all was good at home, I wouldn’t have grown
I put it in poem to show 'em a better way
Something abstract and clever, not led astray
Break bread, make good, await
And we takin' this hip-hop back to self-creation
Meaning I can say whatever I want
And I don’t gotta act a certain way to make a chunk
Ain’t a chunk just because it’s not the same as before
Temptation lures, but my aim is pure
It used to be stress, now it is breath
It used to be broke, now it’s invest
It used to be faded, and now it’s controlled
It used to be underground, now it’s known
It used to be young, and now It’s classic
It’s still good music, and it still is magic
I still am feeling true to myself, my family, my friends, my everyone else
And now I’m smarter
I put a filter on my water, and I bless my home cus I’m raisin' a daughter
Can’t be a porn addict no more, that’s smaller than who I’m supposed to be
Hoes, please don’t holler
I can hear the call of the wild:
Another man down, swallowed by the mob of the crowd
But I hold my ground, speak loud, tell 'em:
Simple is the new cool, young fool
Sober is the new drunk
Pregnant’s new skinny
How long you gonna fuck the world and ride on enemies?
Supply amenities, I use em
I don’t rely on crutches though, plus it’s oozin' out the pores of my skin
Pure truth, and when combined with the beat, you feel the music
Literally healing movement
Watch the expressions change from blank to student
And all the people say «don't stop doin' it»
So I won’t be one to badly influence them again
Just feel my soul is ink from the pen
I think, fill a hole for every now and then
It used to be stress, now it is breath
It used to be broke, now it’s invest
It used to be faded, and now it’s controlled
It used to be underground, now it’s known
It used to be young, and now It’s classic
It’s still good music, and it still is magic
I still am feeling true to myself, my family, my friends, my everyone else
