MAKE IT BREATHE Lyrics by Runkus

IN:SIDE

2021

[Intro: Tarrus Riley]
Make it breathe

[Verse 1: Runkus]
Thru mama pon her belly and a cry
Son deh pon the telly and a die
Said him a the new Makavelli inna crime
Tell me who shot the sheriff fi just two pack a ice
Yeah, why, ghetto youth, I tell yuh rise
Pull up inna something dem nuh like
No, yeah
Cyaan grudgeful and badmind (a nuh we that)
Hear the teacha, you know the vibes
Yeah, yo

[Pre-Chorus: Runkus]
I know it tough
I know it tough
But lift your head up my bredda don't cry (nuh badda cry)
I know it tough
I know it tough

[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]
But lift your head up my sister don't cry (don't cry)
Lift your head up from there
Beg yuh fi lift your head up from there
Jah Jah bless you, you're heaven sent
Bless you, you're heaven sent
Lift your head up from there (heads up)
Beg yuh fi lift your head up from there
Jah Jah bless you, you're heaven sent (heaven sent)
Bless you, you're heaven sent (Zion sent you)
(And yuh fi lift-)

[Verse 2: Tarrus Riley]
Yeah
Bout fi fight the system hard
With the spirit of a warrior and now
We take it from the snakes and the guard
And make sure seh wi basket always full
Struggle a never stranger to wi (oh, no)
More coming like a neighbor to wi
One wrong move and alone cemetery
One right move and the world at your feet, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Runkus]
I know it tough
I know it tough
But lift your head up my bredda don't cry (nuh badda cry, nuh badda cry)
I know it tough
I know it tough
But lift your head up my sister don't cry (don't cry)

[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]
Lift your head up from there
Beg yuh fi lift your head up from there
Jah Jah bless you, you're heaven sent (heaven sent)
Bless you, you're heaven sent
Lift your head up from there
Beg yuh fi lift your head up from there
Jah Jah bless you, you're heaven sent
Bless you, you're heaven sent

Lift your heads up
Keep your meds up
Make it breathe
Breath of life is all we need
Lift your heads up
Keep your meds up
Make it breathe
I know you're fed up
