Explicit version of "Breathe" lyrics
Yo
Sometimes you gotta
All the time you gotta watch yo' step and
Catch me all on yo' neck
And I ain't got much lefttolerance wit' a hoopla
La hodienda no se para nunca
They give it to you but I
Keep it movin' while I'm runnin' wit' the rap race
But I need a little damn space
I gotta just do mewhy I always gotta be sexy huh?
Would you mind when you spill it like me?
In a pair of Air Max sweat pants hoodie huh?
Would ya
Cause I'm
Right now I'm 'bout to hit the door
So I can parle'
Gotta get away
Gotta be free
Gotta get away
Gotta gimmie some time to breathe
Gotta walk into the sun
C'mon ladies come ride wit' me
Gotta get away
Gotta relax your body
Gotta walk into the sun
I just really need some time to ease my mind and let my spirit gooo
Gonna fly
How many women cook and clean
Work a job
Nah
Plus thats that time you can be the gent
Gettin' ya legs tight
Doin' it every night in summer time almost
You wanna ass lookin' firm when they come up close
One of single mother types wit' a couple of kids?
Nuttin' come before them
You a proud ass woman
Been doin' it for years all by yourself
For cryin' out loud
Wanna pull your hair out cause the s*** don't stop and
Ya nigga wanna stress
Takin' no breaths
Wanna know when do I get my day
Wanna pick up my girls at the highway
Gotta get away
Gotta be free
Gotta get away
Gotta gimmie some time to breathe
Gotta walk into the sun
C'mon ladies come ride wit' me
Gotta get away
Gotta relax your body
Gotta walk into the sun
I just really need some time to ease my mind and let my spirit gooo
Yo necesito un poco de paz
Necesito un poco de paz
Some times a girl just wants to be free
From what you think of me baby please
Get up off my back and give a girl some space
Because we're livin' in a big bad place
I just really need some time to have a little piece of mind and
Breathe
