Let 'Em Breathe

(album: Autology 2 - 2023)

Yeah
To be fair it's been a minute but I'm back in it
I've been soul-singing and soul-searching a bit
I had to tell me "Quit, kid" and "We rap different"
The artist in me might be schizophrenic
We both finna get rich, mm
Dylan or ELLIS!, it's all me
At this point I don't think I could sing in no off-key
They would turn the V up even if I was offbeat
Yelling and one from the line, get off me
Put some respect on my name please, mm
I've been ice cold with it, delivering brain freeze
Got eleven records ready, it's only been eight weeks
Definition of prolific
But I don't rush nothing, I'm pro with it
They don't get it
Whoops, I had to flex a lil' sumn' 'cause I mastered the funk
Finger roll it or I dunk it, I don't pass to the punks
Seems like they're petrified to push it 'cause they lacking the oomph
But I've been overlooked forever dawg, I had to go dumb

Oh, what's up? Where you been?
Uhh, I don't know what to tell you
I've been here... I don't know what you've been on

If you haven't checked in a minute
I'm a artist, not a gimmick
I could tell you're 'bout the business
But the friction gets to kicking when I really get prolific
I'm a liability, game kept under lock and key
C4 ready to expose if they trying me
I know way too much about it, I'm a decade in the groove
If you ever been around it, this is yesterday's news
But it's rare to be this popping writing all your own words
Got the kinda music that'll make your radio swerve
To that organic, legend has it
I'm so industry free
Still in the industry, see? (Mhm)
No suits hassling me
Bob Dylan got a quote that I'm happy that he wrote
I give it a little look when comparison afoot
Said "A man is a success
If he gets up in the morning
And goes to bed at night
And in between
Does what he wants to do"
Let me know if that's you
If it ain't then you best be not hassling me
Wasn't in it for a Grammy, I've been in it to be free
Politics are fickle, I'm about my artistry
Reactions off a passion I keep packing in my voice (Yeah)
I ain't paying for reactions; if they're silent, it's a choice

We used to stand out in the cold
Now we the main attraction
No matter what we both into
We went and made it happen
'Cause it's so organic (Organic)
Legend has it (Legend has it)
We just make the hits and we never even panic, nah, nah
Let 'em breathe, let 'em breathe (Let 'em breathe, let 'em breathe)
Uhh, we used to stand out in the cold (We used to stand out in the cold)
Now we the main attraction
No matter what we both into (No matter what)
We went and made it happen (Let 'em breathe)

They know all we kick is dope shit (All we kick is dope shit)
Let 'em breathe for a moment (Let 'em breathe)
They know we sitting where they won't get (Sitting where they won't get)
So let 'em breathe one moment (Let 'em breathe)

Let 'em breathe
Let 'em breathe
Let 'em breathe
Let 'em breathe
