[Verse 1: Matthew] Just breathe life into the beat Through the mic now my cypher's complete And to anybody who was thinking I would leave quickly Don't hold your breath (Just Breathe) I went to college hoping to get the knowledge And by the time you hear me on this beat I would have graduated with a receipt I mean my diploma can't you see that I'm trying to (Just Breathe) And pay off this loan living in my parents home Even on the grind the loan wouldn't be gone Til I'm 29 and that's way too long So I got online then I picked up the phone Called TreDay told him that we gotta make a way Then we started working on the cd on the same day I was making a music video Told a lot of people about it but they didn't show So I'm like forget it yo when they see the video They gonna be kicking their self wishing they did go Cause if you weren't around during all of my stress Don't expect to come around when I find success I could do this every day of the week You couldn't do what I do in a day in a week And since I play for keeps You don't ever have to worry about me being weak I'ma get mine [Verse 2: TreDay] Got a phone call from my little bro Said we need to get to rapping need to get the doe I said I need to get to stacking cause I'm sitting low Let's make a number one album man it's time to blow
I don't care who shows up for the video I'ma do my own thing I'ma get it get it go Hard as I can got the mic in my hand Chop chop like a fan guess that means I'm the man Take a deep breathe can't fade me bet I'm jumping right off the cliff no safety net I set the world on fire can't make me sweat I'm just hoping that the reaper don't take me yet Take it back to school in 2002 I was a young up and comer I ain't got nothing to lose Almost threw it all away but I ain't singing the blues Get rich or die trying I got something to prove For real [Verse 3: Matthew] They say seeing is believing So I'ma give you something to believe in Rhyming with a reason Meaning I'm leading in a league and keeping My feet in what I believe in Breathe in breathe out Try to keep me in but they couldn't keep out All of the people who wanna know what I'm about I make you get into the music whenever I say go Then pa** the mic like I'm playing hot potato [Verse 4: TreDay] Whoa I got no time to lay low Step up on the mic I'm about my pesos Hit the studio that's just how my day goes The better that we get the more that they hate bro Go anywhere you can go Watch and learn Put them haters on blast I'ma watch them burn I learn with ease Achieve what you couldn't defeat When all you had to do is believe And breathe
