[intro]
“It’s just, like, just kinda slowdown and go, ‘Okay, here’s just a bunch of people, people, human beings in a room whose every breath is from God.’”
[chorus]
Breathe in, breathe out
We sing and we shout
We are people, simple people
We live and we die
We laugh, we cry
We are people, simple people
[verse 1]
They say there's no reason to be afraid
Living and dying's in our DNA
From conception our direction is an empty grave
And the motto that we follow is to hollow out our conscious
So responsible decisions aren't the ones we make
Don't want people to tell us when
It seems our life story needs a little embellishing
You come across boring so you make your story something people want around
But living on the edge means you’re a step away from falling down
Happiness is relative, happiness ain’t settling
Baggage getting in the way
Someone had to take these things
The fact is the past is distracting the masses
With sadness masking the path, this is tragic
Is what you’re doing right now helping your situation?
Or is you’re behavior the anchor to your elevation?
We want to be wanted, we want to be something
The need to be someone is coming when we’re feeling like nothing
So breathe in
[chorus]
[verse 2]
I find myself always doing a little something extra
Tryna make the people that surround me laugh
‘Cause if I do, chances are they’ll think I’m worth something
But the real me is slipping to the me of the past
Wanting affirmation, lacking confidence
Compliments were motivation
Thank God for honest friends
Who will call you on your bluffs, tough love says you’re acting different
I’m down to change, but on some realness, I lack commitment
Back when I was a kid I was ignorant to the news
That real life isn’t always pop and sometimes it’s the blues
Growing up will teach you things they don’t teach you in school
And you can know a lot of things and can still be a fool
I spent time and spent money, only one of them can be replaced
Both can cost you something, both can go to waste
It’s best when we invest in progression
North, not south when suggestin’ direction
[chorus]
[bridge] x4
Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Different dreams for different people
Nothing wrong with the simple life
Are you being you or someone else inside?
[chorus]
[outro]
“There’s a being up there, and that’s all this is about.”
