[Verse 1: Hamzaa]
All my life
I've been searching for truth
When all this time, it was all in me
[Verse 2: Wretch 32]
My first breath made my mother breathless
Took her breath away before she heard a sentence
Big boots to fill but they weren’t hard to step in
Had to fill the void because my father stepping down (Down, down, down)
We crept around it
Brandy had him in the deep end, it never drowned him
Family 'round every weekend, we need some space
You ever felt out of place in your place?
See if these four walls could talk
They'd write a book called "I’m Cavin' In"
I can't breath, I need to pace a bit
That's why we're always staring at Goliaths, hopin' David wins
Fed up of swimming through the fire, tryna save my skin
Moral of the story is to triumph when you play to win
Standin' on the shoulders of the giants, tryna chase the wind
Iron eyes, lookin' like a lion, you can’t tame a king
Don’t hold your breath, no
[Chorus: Hamzaa]
Now I'm breathing
Breathing like I never did
And now I’m breathing
In the sky I have spread my wings
[Verse 2: Ghetts]
I live my life like I'm past death
That's the sound of my last breath
Cardiac arrest, is what my heart said
Can't get back in bed when I start Wretch, I’m ready
Nothing don't alarm Ghetts
On the level I've arm-wrestled, put the devil on one
I can't settle for the medals they brung
I have always been the rebellious one
There's no masking it, there's no mask with me
I've bare faced, been upfront
I've been instrumental in bare come ups
Send me the instrumental, I dare someone
My life's been eventful but I've suffered
Hear me pray in the temple with my brothers
I know you see me, God
They say You ain't there, I know You really are
You are the one that gave us CPR
You are the one who made it easier
I breathe deep so it really lasts
[Chorus: Hamzaa]
Now I'm breathing
Breathing like I never did
And now I'm breathing
In the sky I have spread my wings
[Bridge: Hamzaa & Wretch 32]
No more sleepless nights
(Night would turn to day, I was wide awake, yeah)
Look how hard I've tried
(Working through my break, working on my break, yeah)
I'm living my life
'Cause we don't get a second chance, yeah
We're just trying to set the mark, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No more sleepless nights
(Night would turn to day, I was wide awake, yeah)
Look how hard I've tried
(Working through my break, working on my break, yeah yeah)
I'm living my life
'Cause we don't get a second chance, yeah
In a better place now
[Chorus: Hamzaa]
Now I'm breathing
Breathing like I never did
And now I'm breathing
In the sky I have spread my wings
[Post-Chorus: Hamzaaa]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
