Kembe X - Oxygen lyrics

[Verse 1] Feelin' broke than a b**h Still smilin' like I had a deal Picture is so off and I already know how that'd feel At the moment, pacin' back and fourth and sippin' Chamomile Spirit dragon through the gravel headed to the battlefield I rap for reparations, f** your aspirations I slap a referee, this ain't no f**in' game Yea, I hear your mumbling But I don't speak your f**in' language All I hear inside my head is constant affirmations Acid braindead Touched on some wisdom that was difficult to ascertain when Stuck in the bushes where we feel we goin' backwards Don't it? I mean, it's scary how we put our faith in rappers Ain't it? My thoughts are entertainment I recall the living room Me and Wiley gettin' high up in the basement Grindin' just to cop some tickets, tryin' to rock some stages With the world in a condition that is rather flagrant We invented a concoction that can end a player [Hook] One for the oxygen, two for the light Three for the breath, n***a, breath n***a, breath n***a Four for my f**in' folks that have gone and left So I'm crushing all five mics, I reserve the right It's all so many reasons to live I just wanna be like a tree in the hill So it's seeds in the coldest season I stand tall, so y'all Only option is to disagree and forgive [Verse 2] Rainbow and arrow archer drench from a brainstorm Hit my knees and pray Lord turn me to a flamethrower Rallyin' my people cause it's a rare to see a pharaoh march And guess up there is more important sh** than what you came for f** an attitude adjustment, control internal banter I don't see what the fuss is There's anthems in them tantrums My heart's become a lantern, I'm searchin' for Atlantis Young gra**hopper turned into a praying mantis Best believe I'm chasin' answers, rollin' to dumbfoundedness With rare moments of clarity So I do d** cause they enhance 'em At the point I hit my knees before I say a stanza Keep my distance leavin' n***as at a disadvantage [Hook] One for the oxygen, two for the light Three for the breath, n***a, breath n***a, breath n***a Four for my f**in' folks that have gone and left So I'm crushing all five mics, I reserve the right It's all so many reasons to live I just wanna be like a tree in the hill So it's seeds in the coldest season I stand tall, so y'all Only option is to disagree and forgive [Bridge] One for the gun-toter, fun blower, b**h getter Two for the white collar condescending rich n***a Three for the fruit of an idea when a spliff lit Mind over matter, b**h, mind your f**in' business [Outro] Just let me cast this off the bottom of A-N-W-Bottle Xanny got me feelin' hollow, sh**, life can be hard to swallow In my vision the tunnel ends our limbs lookin' like branches Foreign dollars for leave, sh** look like Monopoly I believe monogamy is cursed by monotony Came bearin' oxygen, trynna breath, follow me
