[Lyric] Breathin (II Kings)

[Intro: Elusive]
Yeah, I dunno man..
It just seems this world that we're living in..
It ain't the same one that I grew up in..

[Verse 1: Elusive]
Yo, so it seems I'm held down, in this godless hole
How could he be so divine, and not touch my soul
The nights I screamed for his help, was it optional?
Dreaming of heaven, but in living - I was stuck in hell
So now I'd cut myself, just to feel alive
As I'm staring in the mirror, wishing fear would die
I know you hear me cry, you left me paralyzed
Cause the secret societies, is where the power lies
And you can't get your name out, without a corporate endorsement
But the wakk, stupid, fake shit is all they're supporting
If they think the music's catchy, it'll make em a fortune
So they manipulate the charts, you should know it's important
And in a way your trained, to maintain, and like what you like
Conform to one of two sides - there's the left or the right
But there's a world in between, if you would open your eyes
You'd see the truth beneath the lies, and get this feeling inside, like..
[Hook: Dubbs]
Mama said there'd be days like this
But why do these days exist
I just sit in the house, tryna figure it out
Where it all went wrong
But I guess there wouldn't be no pleasure
If it wasn't for pain, we'd have nothing to gain
But when it comes down to it maybe that's the reason
I thank God every day I'm breathin'..

[Verse 2: Elusive]
So it seems I'm held down, in this godless hole
I don't know, maybe joy is just impossible
I'm so depressed, but I still stay philosophical
Use my mind to fight back, knock down any obstacle
Ain't it wonderful - see them there, they brung the flu
But ain't it funny, that what gets done to me, gets done to you
The cycle of life, yeah, the theory's nothing new
But I'm just shedding new light on it, to give you all a fucking clue
This lonely road, I'mma walk it till my feet turn blue
Inspire some, like, "If he can do it, we can too!"
I'mma soldier, taught to never say die
So I'mma still be here, breathin', when the heavens align
And when the new world order comes, and they sever state lines
Altered mind states, but I'm waiting to levitate mine
I know my place in this world, so till the day that I die
I'mma keep my heart pure, and my gaze in the skies, like..
[Hook]

[Verse 3: DMB]
So it seems I'm held down, in this godless hole
And I feel there's nothing in this world for me at all
Ask for forgiveness cause nigga you are forsaken
The life that's given, and living is not for taking
So what you're repping, I'm stepping that dark insanity
No more messing cause weapons have become mandatory
I am not hating man, call me the defender
I may die, but I never will surrender
Living in a constant, fear of losing conscience
Subtle signals sent to your subconscious sounds like nonsense
So much contemplation - constant concentration
No more desperation - final destination
So, I feel that I'm back in it with the flow
My heart may be depleted and blackened but here's the score
I'll never be defeated, that just can't be completed
Because I got this sudden feeling when I opened the door, ohh..

[Hook]
