lyrics

Verse 1:
Losing patience.
Trying to keep the pace and motivation to be great is waning.
Entertaining you, I waste away, I'm fading.
It's frustrating and draining.
I just wanna say I made it when I look out to the crowd.
I'm going crazy trying to keep my head above the water
keep my wife and daughter happy.
Daddy's always working, hardly see the clothes I bought em, sadly.
(Damn, he's doing damage on the mic)
That's what they say about me but I'm never satisfied.
I guess I've got this way about me.
Play it loudly. Let the music drown the sound of doubt away.
Without a way to vent I probably wouldn't be around today.
The rent is late by twenty days and I don't got a penny saved,
but anyways... my money started curving, gotta get it straight.
I think I'm going a bit insane.
Trips back and forth on the innerstate leave me with a bitter taste.
My inner faith is starting to disintegrate. It's like I can't get a break
or something to invigorate me, gonna hyperventilate
(Just breathe)

Verse 2:
He's been going through it,
trying to make it,
wondering how he's going to do it,
minds been truant lately,
hard to take it.
Situation went from basic problems to facing frustrating drama,
baby mama left and didn't leave a dollar.
Blue collar life is hardly working,
wishes that he finished college,
studied economics or something,
but never was a scholar, took a different route,
tried to find the promise land
but street knowledge and his work ethic haven't got him there.
It's kinda clear, the people in control don't really want him here.
He's kind of scared. Fear his made him lonely like it's solitaire,
plottin' a way out of here.
He gets up out his chair and pulls his hair out of his scalp.
He needs help,
feels like he's only got himself.
His health is going south, freaking out.
What's he gonna do?
Told him "Man, there's better times in front of you and you just gotta get to those. Listen, bro, I know it's gettin' difficult.
Take a minute, slow it down.
Just breathe."

Verse 3:
As a nurse she doesn't often see the other side.
Now she's under covers wondering why,
how she's gonna shape another's life,
be a mother, wife and everything she thinks she's gotta be.
She's dealing with it but she doesn't wanna be.
Pains got her ornery.
She doesn't trust the pharmacy, dealing with it naturally.
The pain she's in is hard to see, rather hard to watch.
She's exhausted
walking up and down the halls again talking to herself, as if
she doesn't even got a man.
It all started when he said he didn't have a rubber.
Now it's 40 weeks later, 30 since he said "I love her" to his brother,
didn't tell her that until a couple months ago.
He's the only one she's had, but he's been with a bunch of hoes.
Now they're here together in the hospital,
overcome a lot of obstacles and understand they've got a lot to go.
She let the doctor know that she was ready,
slow and steady as he told her what she's gotta do to make it through,
just breath.
