about

you just gotta breathe, b.

lyrics

Everytime I take a breath
I know just what I feel...great
Everytime I use my lungs
I know it'll be a good.. day
Everything I meditate
I sit and clear my head away
Everytime I feel the stress
That's on my chest
I know
I gotta

(hook)
Breathe!

That's all you gotta do for peace, now

That's all you gotta do
To ride away
And find a way
To me

(now, inhale out, now, inhale out, now inhale)

(that's all you gotta!)

Breathe!

That's all you gotta do for peace, now

That's all you gotta do
To ride away
And find a way
To me

(now, inhale out, now, inhale out, now inhale)

(that's all you gotta!)

(verse)
Everytime I take a breath
I'm healing every secret kept
Everytime I'm sitting back
I breathe, and then I go relax
Everytime my diaphragm expand
I know I got a plan
Everytime I'm on my own
I grab my phone, and know I gotta...

Breathe, for a minute, second, hour
People hold their breath for the willpower
I could feel the wind like a tall flower
Taking sharp breaths like a cold shower

This that minute that I was just talking about
I put in motion, the plan, then I walk around it
My admission is only the chosen route
I know division is only what's keeping us
And why the people around me ain't keeping up
That's a daily question I be wondering
I tell them thank you for hating and come again
I know they hating the patience I'm practicing
Now my name with their friends they be badgerin’
Passion beating on doors of the saddest win
Morning later, they realize just how to deal
Through the Nostrils, homie how it feel
When you...breathe?


(hook)
That's all you gotta do for peace, now

That's all you gotta do
To ride away
And find a way
To me

(now, inhale out, now, inhale out, now inhale)

(that's all you gotta!)

Breathe!

That's all you gotta do for peace, now

That's all you gotta do
To ride away
And find a way
To me

(now, inhale out, now, inhale out, now inhale)
