Tryin' To Breathe
Dilated Peoples

(*Prod. by DJ Premier)

[Chorus:]

Just tryin' to breathe*

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

(I'm just tryin' to breathe)

[Iriscience:]

The summer felt like the winter, and I ain't talkin' bout weather

I see a Cold World like the GZA

It's a blizzard out here - you holdin', twist up

But don't sneak tobacco in my rizzla

I'm from where they jack cats for their turkish links

Swatch watches, Fila and (?)

They took Jordan 1 and 2's right off your feet

If you fought back and warranted you caught more beef

The '80s was so crazy, cats are still afraid

of Daryl Gates, the chokehold, crack and gangs

I hustled but I made it through a crack in the game

While a lot of homies got trapped back in the day

From where ugly polution brings a beautiful haze

Sunset rays, orange-lavender fase

Tryin' to keep my chips up and protect my plate

But the police watch every breath I take

[Chorus:]

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

(I'm just tryin' to breathe)

[Evidence:]

Yeah, tryin' to live, tryin' to eat

I stay up, sometimes it's hard, try to sleep

I'm a livewire in a cold world

I'm no liar, just try to bend the truth to girls

So far doin' my job, gettin' it done

Up before the sun, try to come home before the sun

Shit repeats, days turn to weeks

The object, try to have doe to show for them beats

I was told the world gets colder

Colorado air is thin, sold-out in Boulder

Much more in control gettin' older

And much music love if you cross the border

Once the coast is clear we smokefest in here

Clouds so thick you can see the glare

Peace to reef, we got blessed on the beat

West to East, we share the same air, tryin' to breathe

[Chorus:]

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

(I'm just tryin' to breathe)

[Evidence:]

Prepare for the worst, expect the best

Haven't pulled the heat but still wear the vest

Expansion Team's like the firm 'til death

They want last laugh, we want last breath

We all Stereo, T-H-X

On the radio, station gets respect

It's love and war, we accomodate those

We could both breathe or step up, you're next to go

[Iriscience:]

Some breath control, watch 'em get exposed at shows

A lot of cats are born in studios, it shows

I inhale and exhale magical flows

Jump off stage, hit the booth to capture the globe

Accurate, spectacular though

I feel like the industry is tryin' to capture my soul

I feel like Muhammad goin' at it with Joe

For fresh air we bring it to you live on the road

[Chorus:]

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

It's my world 'til it's time to leave

Just tryin' to breathe

(I'm just tryin' to breathe)
