Hold Your Breath Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ayo, all my space cadets rep the sun moon and stars
We just do we, you should've done who you are
Park it like it's hot when you double the car
And quit trying to buff the dents, you ain't gon' lose the scars

No no no sir, they permanent
Do this on my own, no chauffeur to serve the kid
Put my money in a tourniquet
Trying to stop the bleeding to all these faulty insurances
And sure as shit, there ain't no guarantees
Except we're born, and we die, and we share the air we breathe

I'm a, mobile moment of clarity
Stuck somewhere between love and war, nothing's fair to me
But no one's quite as cool as your boy is

Grow into the size of my environment of koi fish
If life's a movie, I'mma spoil it
Tell the hero all about the villain's plans, raise my hand to foil it

[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]

I wink my eyes to aim
And take a shot of shame
Don't hold your breath, hold your breath, and wait for things to change
You'll be suffocating
While you're stuck here waiting
Don't hold your breath, hold your breath, and wait for things to change
[Verse 2]

All my zoned out loners spending nights on the sofa
Get up, get out, go try and find some chocha

We ain't living quite like we supposed to
I'm trying to be the poster, child I'm getting closer
But dag nabbit, I'm a walking bad habit
Not fit to give advice, but still taking stabs at it
Idealistic yet over pragmatic
Broken down to brass taxes, I'm sort of fantastic
I-n-t-u-i-t-i-o-n
Treating every lady that I meet like my old friend
A heart-breaker wearing mines on my cuff link
On my Wedding Singer shit screaming out, "Love stinks!"
And I'm a certified vet
But you probably never even heard a word of mine yet
Got a big old ego never learned to hide it
Put that on my momma soon it's gonna be earning my rent

[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]

I wink my eyes to aim
And take a shot of shame
Don't hold your breath, hold your breath, and wait for things to change
You'll be suffocating
While you're stuck there waiting
Don't hold your breath, hold your breath, and wait for things to change
[Verse 3]

Ayo, all my cloud-niners with a head of hot air
Stop. Stare at these people pretending your not there
Got a bop in my step that shows you I've got flair
Been a knot in my head that shows you I fought fair
Thought share with the public and I love it
Why? They tell their friends about us and they look it up and dub it
It's a parasitic growth. They got they friends and cousins
Wanting to see what Mark and me got cooking in the oven
It's been a little minute but we came through
New voice, new sound, new town, same dudes
Just a little more polished we've been paying dues
Singing them sad songs wasn't working so we changed tunes
And oh my good-a-ness
Seems like it might be working out now wouldn't it
It's Cosby geometry, the proof is in the pudding
And we gonna go and get it while the getting's going good and shit

[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]

I wink my eyes to aim
And take a shot of shame
Don't hold your breath, hold your breath, and wait for things to change
You'll be suffocating
While you're stuck there waiting
Don't hold your breath, hold your breath, and wait for things to change
