Phoniks - Respiration lyrics

[Produced by Phoniks] [Intro: Scolla] Go on let it out Go on let it out [Verse 1] Money ain't sh** besides a way to pay the rent Before I touch man it's already spent My n***a I ain't flossin' Unless it's early in the morning and I'm finna be out the door to attempt to open some doors yeah I try it often Trying often just to keep my head above the waters Of the ocean they try and throw me in don't compare me To another n***a story better reference my author my pages Still being creative my n***as done think I made it My dreams are farther than whatever expectations you making My attention is vacant so your statements you can keep them mane I really got my own way that I been thinking mane Got my own lane and I ain't speeding Just another evening that I'm smoking up and writing down this sh** Is right around the corner manifested been backed into a corner But f** being in a walking coma I'm bout to make moves Broke n***as trying to pay dues The end of the day just try to stay cool Like my OG informed me to do He told me that pride sometimes can create fools And over time time will expose them to you Show and prove I show what I prove to be nothing but real You nothing but frail I don't know how you n***as deal With the cards you giving if you shuffling your hands Put em back in the deck and then just try this sh** again Put me in the deck and then you'll probably understand The stance of a brotha who be living under the umbrella Of life staying prepared for the rain Couple of drops done touched me but I really can't complain No I really can't [Hook: Anti-Lilly & Scolla] So much on my mind that I just can't recline Uh, they tell me to take my time I twist an L and breath in Inhale vapors from bright stars that shine Breath out, breath out Breath out, breath out [Verse 2] I say amen as a man on his own feet they never get cold My laces never get old Take a walk in my sneaks get a stare at the road See what I'm faces on the day to day May be the same you may see it in another way But I ain't judging your vision my n***a Everybody got a different prescription my n***a We all can become blind if we don't let the light shine through Don't get lost in opinions my n igga find you I'll never let a n***a tell me where I'm headed Go behind the measure of any ruler except the one in heaven My mind is a weapon protecting what's mine Dropping mines every time I drop a line you n***as tread lightly Feeling some type of way about these village of sheep That I'm living in where even being black ain't unique f** a perception of me you n***as can have it Cause I'm really just trying to find my balance [Hook]
