Byron Henderson - Deep Breath (God’s Last Gift) lyrics
[Byron Henderson - Deep Breath God’s Last Gift lyrics]
What a journey life is i mean
I rarely celebrate it because
Everything is jacked society to prices
Everything’s about a mac or
How we’re indecisive
Fabricated realities while we’re in a crisis
Now I’m thinking back to grade twelve
And how a few people let emotions
Get the best of them
How they fail to come to terms
With the fact I bested them
Take L’s and lie on me instead of being men
That’s why they fell i see beyond fashion
Like are you morally intact?
Here to bathe in the tears of haters?
Or try smashing the thickest
Woman you run across?
You’re telling me that people wearing Jesus
Pieces are really living without passion?
I speak a lot about my personal issues
What you expect me to say
Prominent verses or diss you?
Rather be left to decay
Promises working against you
From a city that breeds death
And I’m alert to this
Did you ever sit back and just wonder
"Where do we go from here?"
We hate cops, cops hate us
And we’re both unclear of what caused it
Old heads telling me vote this year
It’s my future and chance to fix
What they broke this year
Nope, we hate each other
So what is hope this year? Ain’t buying it
So how about they both croak this year?
People are so naïve
And we need to something to believe in
If you don’t like this melanin
You don’t need to be breathing
If you ain’t for the people then
You don’t need to be leading
Y’all are puppets anyway
But most don’t see this
People keep telling me I’ve done enough
Thinking bout somebody’s son in
New Orleans that was left hanging
From the bleachers after Piedmont
They kept it a secret for a
Reason, revenge all summer sixteen, Huh?
Black lives matter
But we keep it moving till we
Die by someone other than us
So what’s a movement?
Even though we shouldn’t need these cops
We’re all human
Are they really here to protect us?
You ain’t hear me
Are we really here to protect us?
Cause it’s amusing how people of
Power can sway opinions, It’s being proven
How these rappers rap about everything
Except what they’re doing
What we’re going through is the
Same battle we’re always losing
They put their heart into using these soon to
Be veterans and discard them with PTSD
What are you settling for, huh?
The truth is such a bitter pill to swallow
I don’t care about a Grammy I
Just want to see tomorrow
I just want to see my
Best friend one last time
I just want meet her dad once before I die
I just want to see the
Day George Zimmerman’s jailed
I just want to see the day
Brock Turner is held accountable
How is it possibly right to be
Placed in a situation like this?
If our ancestors made it like this
Then F it cause I can’t relate to that ish
F tomorrow
I just want to see today and that’s it
I just want to see my
Best friend one last time
I just want to meet her dad once before I die
I just want to know if Trump would have
Came to the city if he wasn’t nominated
Or if my parents would feel like failures
If they knew about my every experience
I was made too different, so
I became too distant, But now it’s serious
I’ve been fighting demons my whole life
You almost took it all away from me
But that’s your right
Too many prosecutions falling through
I’m up all night, thinking about my cousin
Wondering if she’s all right
Or what if I’m next?
What if I’m living my last day?
I couldn’t express how crazily
People look at me
So take that stress and depression
Maybe it's best or a lesson
Angels in heaven are testing me
So I can’t break
Even as a kid, growing up it was hostile
But I still never dreamed
Of being a Rothschild
Barely had a childhood due
To society screaming
Out "Worldstar" right before blindsiding me
So when these people argue
About whose less detrimental
I just try ignoring every person
That ain’t essential to me
There’s more potential in us that’ll
We’ll probably never reach
They couldn’t care less about you the
Money is all they see
Ain’t it funny how all these people
Do anything to get over?
The older I get, the more it makes sense
Got the whole world waiting on me
And although I never gave in
It would be a pleasure to
Watch everybody hit pavement deep breath
Exhale, we’re barely getting our feet wet
They say the truth will be
Able to set you free
Yet, people can never wake up
Cause God made us breakable
But did it make or break us?
Take a deep breath
Exhale, we’re barely getting our feet wet
They say the truth will be
Able to set you free
Yet, people can never wake up
Cause God made us breakable
But did it make or break us?
Breathe breathe
Celebrate your life and breathe
I rarely celebrate it because
Everything is jacked society to prices
Everything’s about a mac or
How we’re indecisive
Fabricated realities while we’re in a crisis
Now I’m thinking back to grade twelve
