9th Wonder - Last Breath lyrics

[Verse 1: GQ] Maybe a needle and some thread could help me out I'm trying to mend this Stringing me along, feeling like a violinist Why they wasting, valuable time looking for gossip Guess it's dear to them like a picture in your wallet Life working on me Trying to raise to a better day Convos are interviews and every song's a resume Huh She say I got something in me that I don't see I tell her girl stop bullsh**ting, cause I don't be Why worry? I'm covered just like a Raiders eye I'm doing right and all them others do is plagiarize Mind blown meditating, bomb threats Trying to figure out how I'm gonna pay the rent While coming up with concepts [Hook] Now I make my mom stress trying to grow up Try and tell her, everyday the sun ain't gonna show up But know what? Your baby good Not even bothered by it A soft spoken n***a from a city not as quiet [Verse 2: GQ] All said and done with, I'm trying to walk a path When I leave I can leave my seeds something to run with I know it's gonna hurt the people dear to me But you know I'd rather see you smile than to see you drop a tear for me Eventually the pain fades and the scars stay Just to remind you that you made it from a long way From kickball to playing freeze tag To seeing little kids fall in life without having their knees scab I'm just trying to be comfortable as a bean bag Avoiding dog n***as and b**hes like I'm a flea bath I'm on the rise so anticipating fall outs City cold, had to get away so I could thaw out A blessing like a foul ball, trying to catch one Everybody following trends, nobody set none You not hungry until you appreciate a breadcrumb I'm loving life till my d**h come [Hook] Now I make my mom stretch trying to grow up Try and tell her everyday the sun ain't gonna show up But know what? Your baby good Not even bothered by it A soft spoken n***a from a city not as quiet [Verse 3: GQ] I got memories in my rearview If time flies put a wing in my watch see what a year do I know they see something in me you only see in a few I speak life, they overhype what they don't even do What I strive for Is that a figment of my imagination that got me thinking like my eyes low Or not thinking at all just more grammer, young and black Love the fact they on me like store cameras Me and Petty talked about, see i explained to him All these n***as shoot for stars, me, I aim through them Came a long way from running suicides to making sure these lines touch a heart Or two, walking through where most n***as don't find much sh** that pull them back just get accustomed to the customs Don't fall for that All of that is me still readjusting I've seen my share of coffins though it's not something I'm glad to boast Few n***as is doing time all the other half are ghosts Can't believe Adam gone, potential man, he had the most Tried to pull him to safety but he just couldn't grab the rope Apple full of poison took a bite without an antidote Cold as f**, barely had enough time to grab a coat I'm playing hard like Manigault for a bag a coke A good n***a just happened to take a bad approach Devil on my shoulder laughing at me while he cracking jokes Angel on the other shoulder saying "he just mad you close" [Outro] n***a haha Yeah GQ Bright Lady Nights That's what it is 9th Wnnder Hey, You know Town, Sheeit Town, Sheeit Town, Sheeit Town, Sheeit
