Breathe In, Breathe Out

Mmm
Breathe in, breathe out — I'm fightin' the war
Seen death at my door, still I'm wantin' you more
Life cold, but your touch keep my spirit alive
In this jungle full of killers, love help me survive

I came up from the bottom, where the nights don't sleep
Where the sirens keep singin' and the pain run deep
Lost brothers to the game, lost moms to the pipe
Now I'm clutchin' on this mic, tryna change my life
But the system still watchin', wanna lock me away
Ain't no justice in the ghetto, just a cell and a grave
Through the struggle and the hustle, you stayed when I fell
When my hands full of dirt, you still saw somethin' else
They can't break what we built, they can't kill what we feel
You the reason that my heart still believe it can heal
I ain't blind to the streets, I done seen too much
But your love like a prayer every time we touch

Breathe in, breathe out — I'm fightin' the war
Seen death at my door, still I'm wantin' you more
Life cold, but your touch keep my spirit alive
In this jungle full of killers, love help me survive
Breathe in, breathe out — that's survival mode
Keep it real, keep it raw, on this heavy road
Breathe in, breathe out — I ain't scared to bleed
Long as love by my side, I got all I need

I ain't soft, I been hard since a kid on the block
Dodgin' bullets, chasin' dollars, runnin' fast from the cops
Had the weight on my shoulders, all the pain in my chest
But when you laid in my arms, that was peace, that was rest
I still ride for my people, I still bleed for my crew
But this world full of snakes, and I'm trustin' a few
Got scars on my soul, got blood on my name
But your faith in my heart make me rise through the flame
If I die, let 'em know I went real to the grave
Never bowed, never broke, never lived like a slave
And if I'm gone in the night, keep my story alive
Tell the world that through love, even thugs can survive

Breathe in, breathe out — that's survival mode
Keep it real, keep it raw, on this heavy road
Breathe in, breathe out — I ain't scared to bleed
Long as love by my side, I got all I need

Breathe in, breathe out — I'm fightin' the war
Seen death at my door, still I'm wantin' you more
Life cold, but your touch keep my spirit alive
In this jungle full of killers, love help me survive
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
