Iron Solomon - Breathe lyrics

My girl say I ain't home enough or
I stay on the phone too much
Baby sister growin' up
I ain't around to show her stuff
Progress slowin' up
Sometimes the road is rough
Gas bill overdue
Headed for the coldest months
Patience being tested, too many questions
Thought I had the answers
Maybe I was guessin'
Keep makin' the same mistake
Never learn my lesson i see the progression
Seems that I'm regressin'
Tired of bein' wired need
An outlet for aggression
Tired of bein' tired
Still stuck in this depression
Feel like I'm destined to
Be in this profession
Family think I'm crazy cause
Of my complexion interviewers pressin'
Parents always stressin'
Don't know how to live up
To what people are expectin'
To find a peace of mind
To truly be refreshin'
Wish I had somebody else's shoes
That I could step in

Breathe, take time to reflect
I've been stressed that my mind is wreck
I need a moment to breathe
Try to unwind for a sec'
I can feel it in my spine and my neck
I need a moment to breathe (Breathe)
I need a moment to breathe (Breathe)
I need a moment to breathe (Breathe)
I need a moment to breathe (Breathe)

So now a hand full of new jacks
Dealt into the game
Wanna pull the king's card
So they mentionin' my name
They wanna up the ante cause
They jealous of the fame
They know I'm at a level
That they never could attain
So now they try to
Undermine everything I've gained
New flavor every week, the recipes the same
The pressures of the game
I'm weathering the rain
To get to the sunshine
No pleasure without pain but I
I can't believe it's my
Name you clowns sayin'
The trail I've blazed
Is the lane you now racin'
But I've paved the ground
And laid the foundation
You can't take my crown
Just pray for salvation
But I ain't hatin'
Nah I've been supportive
So I ain't even mad at
'em I'm just disappointed
But I can't lose my mind and
React off of foolish pride move in stride
Let 'em throw stones 'til I'm crucified


I smoke and wheeze
Smokin' trees is my cure for my own disease
The only way I know to keep my soul at ease
Cause I've been gettin' no relief
From the dose of grief
That always seems to undermine
The goals I've reached
I don't know if I should give
Up or go to sleep or keep breakin' days
Stay awake and follow hopeless dreams
They sayin' that I'm prayin'
On broken knees
That what I'm chasin' is like
Jason with the golden fleece
When I find it, I'ma hold a feast
Invite all the beasts
Invite each one of us to hold a piece peace
Cause we could fight for it forever
But we all probably prosper if
We fight for it together
The triflin' for cheddar
Is stifling the pleasure
The merit of my music
A meiser couldn't measure
A true sinner's conscious is
Lighter than a feather
Try to keep this all in mind
When I'm sizin' up the treasure when I
