Need to Breath

[Verse 1] Feelin' Dumbfounded, numb drownin', my palm draggin' sandpaper As I'm in class wearin' out my ass Drifting consciousness, the boat's coxy is laissez-faire Like The Odyssey - swirvin' and curvin' in suburban air Centripetal force pulling my head in I wanna rip the course of man in half - society's set in Waiting, debating, maybe contemplating faking the fading of the baking idea Precipitating dreams Hear me enunciating my stressed lignes induce strep throat; It's a shrill blowing wind; I hope you brought a coat If you wanna know, that means you gotta ask Sweep passed the masses and be first class But sometimes I need to breath, sometimes I need to breath Take a step then bleed - tears water the seed Sometimes I need to breath, sometimes I need to breath Look up from the sea - you'll find what you need [Verse 2] Test says I'm a failure; I do not consent Hella bent are your rules, vex me so I need to vent I'm just sayin' I'm a dead mass sittin' in class, wearin' out my ass Never raise my hand for questions I want asked Told my Grandma "wanna drop out and take off my school vest Tired of listening and studying for stupid tests; Wanna smell, hear, taste, feel, see, create, invent And maybe even procreate My thoughts feel like they're sent from heaven above Expand my mind without corruption, quit handing me instructions Wanna build my own construction Pass the box of pieces - lego like Lil Wayne Mouth-sewn, inner pain, sometimes I'm bout to go insane In the brain looking at these vane dames who strain to see the main plain but not mundane life's crane In the eyes of non-believers, life's levers twist for ignorant divas But not me cuz Teacher sits at the front; bored like I smoked a blunt; Like I would front, I ain't a sheep like the rest of y'all; Best of all I'm unique; y'all should throw a festival to celebrate it The church bells never faded Private schools, look at the monster you created: Lost my passion as a scholar I'm a drawer, baller with an unbuttoned collar Beard like my father head, head like my grandfather I don't need to be taller." Sometimes I need to breath, sometimes I need to breath Take a step then bleed - tears water the seed Sometimes I need to breath, sometimes I need to breath Look up from the sea - you'll find what you need
