inhale deep

Lyrics

we all know life can get hectic, but if you live in the second, you exist in the present, and that's how you stay connected, go through good times and hardships, and if you learn to accept it, and know that every struggle in life, is there to teach you a lesson, it's times like this that make you, it's always the darkest part of the night, right before the sun has it's break through, the spirits there to knock you down, but if you make that the end, you will never know the beauty, of being able to stand up again, and face it, with patience, the pace set is dealing, with judgements and hatred, depressed hopeless feelings, but i've been told, you only create your own ceilings, life is limitless, and knowing this is what the spirit is, that's why i try to inhale deep, so i can find peace, and essence can find me, that's why i lose myself in these beats, let myself become one with the drum and set myself free, whatever direction life leads me, there is a purpose behind it, that's the way it was supposed to be, and any time you can turn over a new leaf, y'all know the truth, it's up to us to use the key, been three years since my first album dropped, it's been fear that's really got me stuck on the spot, not wanting to put out anything whack, so inside of putting licks on my tracks, i put my lips to a sack, because it's easier to spend your life drunk, and high on drugs, than to put everything on recording, and put it out to be judged, we look for the audience, to put their hands up and show love, but when they put their hands down, our confidence really takes the plunge, so instead of making music, that people might not like, i went into isolation, i traded my mic in for the pipe, started living the college life, drinking and smoking every day, rationalizing to myself, that i was going through a phase, then i stopped, thinking my music would take it's place, but when you live in fog, inspiration is hard to create, it takes more to get connected, than to quit smoking every day, and when i get frustrated i get a swisher, and get blown away, then all of a sudden it hit me, these kids are listening, if i'm not making music, then why the fuck am i existing, how can i talk about the problems, of some one else, when i don't have the motivation, and confidence to change myself, it's been so long since i really truly felt, what it's like to live without substances to help, massive struggle that's natural to one's health, with addiction in my blood, i play the cards i was dealt, the wind is the most calm, right before the storm, and when you least expect it, it doesn't rain, it pours, i swear to god you can never be warned, because with or without that umbrella, nature is still gonna take it's course, that's why i try to inhale deep, so i can find peace, and essence just finds me, that's why i lose myself in these beats, put away the weed, and turn to my mpc, c'mon', if i could just, i would change, if i could just, i would change, if i could just, i would change, if i could just, i would change
