Need to Breath Lyrics by Nick Why?

Nick a Tape

[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
