Breath

Breath

Recorded and mixed by The Grouch at "The House"

Well you can make any day the greatest day

Just visualize peace when you play this

I'm not sayin my whole life's a meditative state

But I was calm, cool, collect when I layed this

Call me The Grouch but I don't get upset

Kick a verse through the speaker

Get my gouda then jet

Back to my fam

I live the life of a man

Two cars, two dogs, a wife and a plan

I told you I was making sense

All else will make you crazy like followin trends

But keepin up with neighbors won't save you

I'm deep enough to know myself and that's major

And I'm proud of me

No male figure to teach me how to be

Oh well, too eager to reach outterly

I should've known

If all was good at home I wouldn't have grown

Put in poem to show em a better way

Somethin abstract and clever

Not led astray

Break bread, make good, awaken

We taken this hip hop back to self creation

Meaning I can say whatever I want

And I don't got to act a certain way to make a chunk

Ain't a punk just because it's not the same as before

Temptation lures, but my aim is pure

I don't want it to be how it used to be

I want it to be how it is now

I don't want it to be how it used to be

I want it to be how it is now

It used to be stress, now it is breath

It used to be broke, now its invest

It used to be faded, and now its controlled

It used to be underground, now its known

It used to be young, and now its classic

It's still good music and it still is magic

I still am feelin true to myself

My family, my friends, my everyone else

And now I'm smarter

I put a filter on my water and I bless my home

Cause I'm raising a daughter

Can't be a porn addict no more

That's smaller than who I'm supposed to be

Hoes: please don't holler (hey Grouch)

I can hear the call of the wild

Another man down, swallowed by the mob of the crowd

But I hold my ground, speak loud

Tell em simple is the new cool, young fool

Sober is the new drunk, pregnant's new skinny

How long you gonna fuck the world and ride on enemies?

Supplied amenities, I use em

I don't rely on crutches though

Plus its oozin

Out the pores of my skin

Pure truth

And when combined with the beat

You feel the music

Literally healin movement

Watch the expressions change from blank to student

And all the people say don't stop doin it

So I wont be one to badly influence them again

Just spill my soul as ink from the pen

I think; fill the hole for every now and then

I don't want it to be how it used to be

I want it to be how it is now

I don't want it to be how it used to be

I want it to be how it is now

It used to be stress, now it is breath

It used to be broke, now its invest

It used to be faded, and now its controlled

It used to be underground, now its known

It used to be young, and now its classic

It's still good music and it still is magic

I still am feelin true to myself

My family, my friends, my everyone else
