Текст песни Breathe - Jonas

I've been dealing with pressure
For my whole life
What's a monkey on your back when
The jungle is what you fight
I was raising both my sisters
I was only eight or nine
Whether it was wrong or right
We had to make it work for time
To my peoples ive been chosen
Since i could barely step
I had keys too early so my
Drive bought respect
To derail isn't an option
Im headed for success
I was put onto a pedestal i need
To come correct
One of my biggest mistakes
Is giving impressions
I'll manipulate my character
Simply to fit an essence
When really you should just be yourself
And give them your message
Nothing wrong with being likeable
But grip on to your presence
Its easy to forget yourself in the quest
Of helping others but what happens
When you have nothing left
Stand your ground bury both your feet
With roots for the depth
At least you're ten toes down
When you're heavily pressed

Maybe take a second just to breathe
You're exactly where you need to be right now
Its all about what you don't see
I know you wanna be with the elite right now
And its hard
Thats for sure
But we are
What we show
We face loss
And we grow
And we fall
But we float

I feed off expectations
Especially when i know that in a decade
I'll be sowing the fruits of all my labour
Noise complaints from my neighbours
One day there won't be neighbours
We're gonna graduate to labels
From a small basement
I have an aim i have a target
I use my pain and turn it into art
I don't refrain from diggin deep in scars and
Deep in my brain to tap into my story just to watch it
So i can take the examples into my songs and harness
Everything i saw that made me who i am today
I don't regret i use fuel to pursue my way
No looking back i have lot that i wanna create
I crush pressure with the character that i became
On my life im making everybody proud
I'll be selling out arenas with my loyals in the crowd
Ive seen it many times i can even hear the sound
And sometimes i start doubting that im thinking out loud

Maybe take a second just to breathe
You're exactly where you need to be right now
Its all about what you don't see
I know you wanna be with the elite right now
And its hard
Thats for sure
But we are
What we show
We face loss
And we grow
And we fall
But we float
