KXNG Crooked
Breathe
Yo what's happenin' this KXNG Crooked
I dedicate this to all the rappers out there
That's better than the rappers that's on right now
I know it's hard, hold up

Gettin' kinda hard to breathe without you
Don't take my oxygen away
Just can't be without you
One call and babe I'm on my way
Really hard to breathe without you
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't wanna be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain

I know you wanna make it to the tip top
But it's difficult to get it in hip hop
So you side hustle
Bag it in a zip lock
'Cause you're too lyrical to go viral on TikTok
Under the radar every time your shit drop
'Cause they listen and the kids bop
And you like "Aw, nah, dog"
Y'all really think that shit's hot?
How many spitters the top 10 got pen drop?
Yeah
Silence of the lamp it's too many sheep
While you reachin' for your dreams there's too many sleep
But you in the deep so you gotta keep goin'
Through the pain and the failure you gotta keep growin' (On God)
Let me tell you what the shit is about
This rap biz is a math quiz figure it out
Bigger the problem you solve the bigger your house
Bigger the checks and six figure amounts hit your accounts (Word)
If music is your real occupation
This ain't a rap homie
This is a consultation
A business conversation about your operation
I see the spot you're chasing like Rock Nation
What if you never meet Jay?
You never meet Em?
What if you never meet Dre?
What if you never meet them?
You better be ready and never over-wait to take chances
Then your chances can never be slim
I want you to make it
Gettin' kinda hard to breathe without you
Don't take my oxygen away
Just can't be without you
One call and babe I'm on my way
Really hard to breathe without you
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't wanna be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain

What is it about rap that keeps you going?
You know
I been doin' this for a while now
And there's never been anything else I could see myself doin' over this
You know, so it's like
Why wouldn't I keep goin' and keep fighting
When I already put so much of my life into rap?
I feel like this is the one thing where I can say I'm better than most people at so
It'd be kinda fucked if I didn't put my life on it, you know?

Think I been climbin' up every peak (Uh)
I just keep grindin' until I'm weak (Yup)
And I won't be dyin' until I've seen every single beat that I touch
Get murdered and be deceased (Woo, woo)
If I don't get to sleep (Uh)
Buy a home
Have a sweet (Yeah)
Cushy zone
Pretty sweet (Uh huh)
In my dome imma be (What?)
All alone from my teens (Huh?)
When I'm old if it means (What?)
I control destiny
I got a whole crooked feat. (Woo, woo)
And for that shit I'm so fuckin' proud (So fuckin' proud)
I don't care how because now I can jump in the clouds (Yup)
Shuffle around
Shakin' it up and bustin' it down (Bustin' it down)
Tough in this now
Huff and I'll puff and I'm dustin' this town (Woo, woo)
Lookin' around
All I been seein' are bunches of clowns (Yup)
Who think they act hard pointin' fake guns at a crowd (Bitch)
Maybe just act smart for a couple months and then, wow (Haha)
You'll see my last bar wasn't just for fun (Woo, woo)
Get a towel 'cause you need (Yeah)
To learn how to sweat to earn all the checks you're not (Uh huh)
Deservin' of yet but permanent quests will get you (What?)
So perfect and blessed
I'm certain just get your first little step with purpose and pep (Woo, woo)
Then swerve all the rest (That's right)
I know that I'll make it up to the tip top (And what?)
And I'll never care if you think that my shit's not (What?)
What it oughta be
That's when I'll get my clip locked
'Cause I'm takin' shots at everybody who ain't hip hop
Gettin' kinda hard to breathe without you
Don't take my oxygen away
Just can't be without you
One call and babe I'm on my way
Really hard to breathe without you
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't wanna be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain
