[Chorus]
Lately I been feeling like my thoughts are on the rise
I've been tryna cure my spirit before it truly dies
Smiley Wiley's what they call me, but they don't see my cries
My breath is taken far away when I'm hearing from both sides
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
[Verse 1: Luke Wiley]
Yeah
When does it go away? Never
Everybody tryna dance with the Devil
I'm tryna levitate and go up a level
Get hit by the bass, they ignoring the treble
They duplicates, I'm busy losing it
Call me like, "Who is this?"
Got no attention for those in the music biz'
I got some problems, and music, I'm using
And God has given gifts and I'm not abusing it
Give you a reference
Everybody closest to me is foreign, I'm stressing
If I didn't have a mic, I'd be stuck in the world
And I don't think, my son, I'd be impressing
Fuck that, I don't ever need nobody, you can trust that
I don't need a bunch of money and a must-have
Work hard, not believing in a luck path
[Bridge: Luke Wiley]
I've had enough of everybody not loving everybody
It's tough to sell your body, but what of your mind?
I feel attention spans shrinking like we're stuck in a Vine
Everybody want a piece when you are up in the grind, but I am with it
You can collect the crumbs that I'm spitting
I give it back to the people regardless of definitions, that's my vision
I gotta get rid of the way I'm feeling
It's now or never so someone cut the ribbon
Because
[Chorus]
Lately I been feeling like my thoughts are on the rise
I've been tryna cure my spirit before it truly dies
Smiley Wiley's what they call me, but they don't see my cries
My breath is taken far away when I'm hearing from both sides
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
[Verse 2: Luke Wiley]
Yeah
I feel like I'm suffocating while they laughing
Mental is fluctuating in the madness
Guess I been rushing patience, gotta have it
This is a dusty nation filled with taxes
Brackets, tactics, all that you needing is practice
Presidential, you can grab it
I'm not my father, I'm happy
If he seen a problem, he would just tab it
Can only imagine, no dragons
I'm a sucker for pain but I can't grasp it
Use the logic obtained 'cause I'm old fashioned
Don't got love for the fame or the attraction
More than I love the game and my own passion
I'm passing it to Lazarus
Give a definition of the name and imagine it
I felt like every single button and started mashing it
[Verse 3: Dizzy Wright]
Still tryin' to cope with that
How folks vote for that?
I said the realest shit ever and they won't react
You can smoke to that
Never lose hope and I hope for that
I remember back in the cul-de-sacs
Still get it in but I'm overlapped
Why we all stuck in the mobile apps?
I'm gonna spaz out, better hold me back
Show enough interest
I'm in a different dimension
I'm here to kill all the tension, wait
I'm not afraid, I just gotta get your time of the day
I feel like I'm in a phenomenal place
Waiting on a small wind, something my momma would say
But ay, I don't know if I'm found yet
Negative energy follow me and I don't even like to be around that
You know what I'm focused on, that's my kids
Gotta teach 'em what I did
Gotta tell 'em why I smile
Gotta show 'em how to live
Get up whenever you fall, even when life get real
Had to embrace what God was doing
Even when I didn't have no meals
Bottled up my emotions, put 'em in rhymes and make it appeal
Give it a feel, all I'm doing is spreading my light
Isolated myself, got all my help so I could get myself right
'Cause man
[Chorus]
Lately I been feeling like my thoughts are on the rise
I've been tryna cure my spirit before it truly dies
Smiley Wiley's what they call me, but they don't see my cries
My breath is taken far away when I'm hearing from both sides
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
[Outro]
Child, child, child, don't cry
You can live your life, just not on your time
Tell me, do you feel that? Feel trapped?
You get it and they steal that? Steal that?
Little boy or girl, look for joy in world
Hard to get your toys back in this poison swirl of thoughts
