Tryin’ to Breathe Dilated Peoples

[Hook]
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")

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
