Jake Lefco - Everybody Breathin lyrics

{*19 seconds of people saying "Hi, I'm Jake Lefco"*} [Jake Lefco] This is for everybody breathin, cause everybody's fiendin For a reason to relax, for some music to believe in I'm here to feed 'em, this form of freedom It's more to me than, normally needed to succeed and More to see than, what's on the screen and, I want to see it Reveal it, and feel it, cause I'm a realist And I can't deal with the mis..leading proceedings The meaningless greetings, folks goin through the motions with no feelings No, really, don't gimme that, indirect dilly dab Beat around the bush crap, that's what I look past Like clean gla**, keepin me heated like a steam bath Keep the sugar coating, I don't need that Keep that in mind, you'll be fine with me I'm not a thug, I never was, and I'm not tryin to be - it's not me I'm not above it, I'm not tryin to preach - it's not me I just speak from what I think, what I know and what I see [Chorus] This is for everybody breathin, cause everybody's fiendin For a reason to relax, for some music to believe in "You listening?" "Oh yeah" "Nobody's listening" "I'm listening~!" Okay, okay okay listen" This is for everybody breathin, cause everybody's fiendin For a reason to relax, for some music to believe in "Let's relax for a moment, okay?" "Take a deep breath" [Jake Lefco] I say the first thing that moves me to speak, release the beast Lose me, refuse to let logic confuse me Knowledge is not just books, it's in the woods It's in the hood, it's on a subway train, it's in the Brook' Look, it's in the mirror, in the bad and the good Listen, it's in the voices of the misunderstood Listen, it's in the system, it's in the anti-war resistance Listen, it's in the politician It's in the schools and the prisons, the Jews and the Christians Mathematicians and magicians I keep my distance from those who won't listen Those who keep insistin they know it all Frigid and cold and all rigid, fear is all it is Business is business, but this sh** is personal The illness is terminal, and hard to watch Like seein a man get his a** kicked it's hard to stop This is for everybody, anybody, all the spots Play me in your box, the neighbors call the cops You need a reason to relax, I give you all I got Music, and I don't care who thinks I'm wrong or not [Chorus] - different quotes in lines 3-4 [Jake Lefco] Forgive me if it's too deep, if I don't let it out I'm gonna lose sleep Instead I run my mouth 'til I lose teeth Even that's fixable, physical appearance just isn't that critical Obsession in the U.S Young bucks stressin cause they gotta get the new kicks Some sell d** while some parents couldn't do less That's how it is I guess, it isn't that direct It isn't my business, bear witness to neglect I don't have the answers, got a handful of questions I throw against the wall, see which stick and which fall All stressin aside, we need an outlet Find where the pressure's applied and let it out quick That goes for white black yellow and brown Cause everybody breathin needs mellowin down And everybody breathin needs medicine now That's the music to believe in so I'm settin it down [Chorus] - different quotes in lines 3-4
