II Kings - Breathin' lyrics

[Intro: Elusive] Yeah, I dunno man.. It just seems this world that we're living in.. It ain't the same one that I grew up in.. [Verse 1: Elusive] Yo, so it seems I'm held down, in this godless hole How could he be so divine, and not touch my soul The nights I screamed for his help, was it optional? Dreaming of heaven, but in living - I was stuck in hell So now I'd cut myself, just to feel alive As I'm staring in the mirror, wishing fear would die I know you hear me cry, you left me paralyzed Cause the secret societies, is where the power lies And you can't get your name out, without a corporate endorsement But the wakk, stupid, fake sh** is all they're supporting If they think the music's catchy, it'll make em a fortune So they manipulate the charts, you should know it's important And in a way your trained, to maintain, and like what you like Conform to one of two sides - there's the left or the right But there's a world in between, if you would open your eyes You'd see the truth beneath the lies, and get this feeling inside, like.. [Hook: Dubbs] Mama said there'd be days like this But why do these days exist I just sit in the house, tryna figure it out Where it all went wrong But I guess there wouldn't be no pleasure If it wasn't for pain, we'd have nothing to gain But when it comes down to it maybe that's the reason I thank God every day I'm breathin'.. [Verse 2: Elusive] So it seems I'm held down, in this godless hole I don't know, maybe joy is just impossible I'm so depressed, but I still stay philosophical Use my mind to fight back, knock down any obstacle Ain't it wonderful - see them there, they brung the flu But ain't it funny, that what gets done to me, gets done to you The cycle of life, yeah, the theory's nothing new But I'm just shedding new light on it, to give you all a f**ing clue This lonely road, I'mma walk it till my feet turn blue Inspire some, like, "If he can do it, we can too!" I'mma soldier, taught to never say die So I'mma still be here, breathin', when the heavens align And when the new world order comes, and they sever state lines Altered mind states, but I'm waiting to levitate mine I know my place in this world, so till the day that I die I'mma keep my heart pure, and my gaze in the skies, like.. [Hook] [Verse 3: DMB] So it seems I'm held down, in this godless hole And I feel there's nothing in this world for me at all Ask for forgiveness cause n***a you are forsaken The life that's given, and living is not for taking So what you're repping, I'm stepping that dark insanity No more messing cause weapons have become mandatory I am not hating man, call me the defender I may die, but I never will surrender Living in a constant, fear of losing conscience Subtle signals sent to your subconscious sounds like nonsense So much contemplation - constant concentration No more desperation - final destination So, I feel that I'm back in it with the flow My heart may be depleted and blackened but here's the score I'll never be defeated, that just can't be completed Because I got this sudden feeling when I opened the door, ohh.. [Hook]
