What s the world coming to?Where are we all running to?
Not all our dreams are coming true
We can t let them break us
When two hearts that beat as one
Can t let the clouds cover the sun
If I m rambling I m guilty of wearing my heart on my sleeve
When it hurts, breathe
When it burns, breathe
The feeling inside is feeling like I do
Take a breath, breathe, let it out, breathe
Just close your eyes
Don t hold it inside you
Breathe
She said baby you look down tonight
There s something wrong and that ain t right
I hear you talking in your sleep
I want to dive in your dreams
And wrap my loving arms around you
Protect you when the waves crash down on you
When you re lost and you re scared
I ll be the air when you breathe
When it hurts, breathe
When it burns, breathe
The feeling inside is feeling like I do
Take a breath, breathe, let it out, breathe
Just close your eyes
Don t hold it inside you
Breathe
When you give and you take
And it feels like something breaks
It s all right
Breathe
When it hurts, when you doubt
When it burns, let it out
When you give, when you love
When you live
When you touch
If all that we ve got is each other
Than all that we ve got is a lot
When it hurts, breathe
When it burns, breathe
This feeling inside is feeling like I do
Take a breath, breathe
Let it out, breathe
Just close your eyes
Don t hold it inside you
Breathe
Just breathe
Breathe
Just Breathe

Planet Earth was my place of birthBorn to be the soul controller of the universe
Besides the part of the map I hit first
Any a rhyme that I can adapt when it gets worst
The rough gets going, the going gets rough
When I start flowing, the mic might bust
The next state, I shake from the power I generate
People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes
Cause times was hard on the Boulevard
So I vote God and never get scarred and gauled
But it seems like I m locked in hell
Looking over the edge but the R never fell
A trip to slip cause my Nikes got grip
Stand on my own two feet and come equip
Any stage I m seen on, a mic I fiend on
I stand alone and need nothing to lean on
Going for self wit a long way to go
So much to say but I still flow slow
I come correct and I won t look back
Cause it ain t where you re from, it s where you re at
Even the (ghetto)
I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York
And return through the womb of the world as a thought
Thinking how hard it was to be born
Me being queen wit no physical form
Millions have settled wit one destination
To reach the best part, it s life creation
9 months later, a job well done
Make way, cause here I come
Since I made it this far, I can t stop now
There s a will and a way and I got to know how
To be all I can be and more
And see all there is to see before
Called and go back to the essence
It s alot to learn so I study my lessons
I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me
I m glad I listen when my father was rapping to me
Cause back in the days, they lived in caves
Exile from the original man, a straight way
Now that s what I call hard times
I rather be here to exercise the mind
Then I take a thought around the world twice
From knowledge to born back to knowledge precise
Across the desert, that s how to store a radiant
But they couldn t cave me in cause I m the Asiant
REaching for the city, a Mecca, visit medina
Visions of Neffertiti then I seen a
Mind keeps traveling, I ll be back after I
Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa
Return the thought through the eye of a needle
For miles I thought and I just fought the people
Under the dark skies on a dark side
Not only there but right here s an apartheid
So now is the time for us to react
Take a trip through the mind and when you get back
Understand you re third eye seen all of that
It ain t where you re from, it s where you re at
Even the (ghetto)
Even the (ghetto)
No more props, I want property
In every borough, nobody s stopping me
Because I m thorough, rhymes are making real estate for me to own
Wherever I bless a microphone
007 is back and relaxing
On poignant reacting and ready for action
I m so low key that you might not see me
Incognito and taking it easy
Quiet, it s kept on a hush hush
In front of a crowd, I get loud, there s a bumrush
Be calm, keep a low pro, and play the background
Over the wack rapper, put the mic back down
So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it
Cause when it s time to build, I m a mechanic
I m bonding and mending, attaching and blending
So many solos, there is no ending
People in my neighborhood, they know I m good
From London to Hollywood, wherever I stood
Footprints remain on stage ever since
As I walk the street, I leave fossils and dents
When I had sex, I left my name on necks
My trademark was left throughout the projects
I used to get rich when I played celo
When I rolled 4, 5, 6, they go we know
So I collect my cash then slide
I got my back, my gun s on my side
It shouldn t have to be like that
I guess it ain t where you re from, it s where you re at
Even the (ghetto)
I m from the (ghetto)
Word up, peace

I don t think I ll ever get over thisNo limousine is gonna take you away
I m on my knees, babe
Halfway to Heaven
I can see his car in your driveway
Oh Jackie, you make it look so easy
Tell me you re never gonna burn for this sometime
And how come a woman can make a man so crazy
Cos I m on fire tonight
Oh, you re gonna wake up
And feel so much older
Your sun drenched skin
Is fading fast
I m alone when I look in the mirror
But I see you in the glass
I know you ll be back in L.A. by tomorrow
You ll break him as quick as you broke me
Tonight I lay with the stars on Mullholland
Jackie, don t cry for me
