[Verse 1]
My girl say I ain't home enough or I stay on the phone too much
Baby sister growin' up, I ain't around to show her stuff
Progress slowin' up, sometimes the road is rough
Gas bill overdue, headed for the coldest months
Patience being tested, too many questions
Thought I had the answers, maybe I was guessin'
Keep makin' the same mistake, never learn my lesson
I see the progression, seems that I'm regressin'
Tired of bein' wired need an outlet for aggression
Tired of bein' tired, still stuck in this depression
Feel like I'm destined to be in this profession
Family think I'm crazy cause of my complexion
Interviewers pressin', parents always stressin'
Don't know how to live up to what people are expectin'
To find a peace of mind to truly be refreshin'
Wish I had somebody else's shoes that I could step in

[Hook: Iron Solomon]
Breathe, take time to reflect
I've been stressed that my mind is wreck
I need a moment to breathe, try to unwind for a sec'
I can feel it in my spine and my neck
I need a moment to breathe
(Breathe)
I need a moment to breathe
(Breathe)
I need a moment to breathe
(Breathe)
I need a moment to breathe
(Breathe)
[Verse 2: Iron Solomon]
So now a hand full of new jacks, dealt into the game
Wanna pull the king's card, so they mentionin' my name
They wanna up the ante cause they jealous of the fame
They know I'm at a level that they never could attain
So now they try to undermine everything I've gained
New flavor every week, the recipes the same
The pressures of the game, I'm weathering the rain
To get to the sunshine, no pleasure without pain
But I, I can't believe it's my name you clowns sayin'
The trail I've blazed, is the lane you now racin'
But I've paved the ground and laid the foundation
You can't take my crown just pray for salvation
But I ain't hatin', nah I've been supportive
So I ain't even mad at 'em I'm just disappointed
But I can't lose my mind and react off of foolish pride
Move in stride, let 'em throw stones 'til I'm crucified

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Iron Solomon]
I smoke and wheeze, smokin' trees is my cure for my own disease
The only way I know to keep my soul at ease
Cause I've been gettin' no relief from the dose of grief
That always seems to undermine the goals I've reached
I don't know if I should give up or go to sleep
Or keep breakin' days, stay awake and follow hopeless dreams
They sayin' that I'm prayin' on broken knees
That what I'm chasin' is like Jason with the golden fleece
When I find it, I'ma hold a feast
Invite all the beasts, invite each one of us to hold a piece
Peace
Cause we could fight for it forever
But we all probably prosper if we fight for it together
The triflin' for cheddar, is stifling the pleasure
The merit of my music, a meiser couldn't measure
A true sinner's conscious is lighter than a feather
Try to keep this all in mind when I'm sizin' up the treasure
When I
[Hook]
