breathing

Mary J. Blige

This goes out to you (Yeah, you)
Big Mary, not the little one
Big Brooklyn (Haha)
Big Y-O, what s up? (We came to kick in the door)

Ayy, I m not gon lie, I hate to take an L
Had me sittin there hot like waitin room s in hell
But I m not gon cry, no way to exhale
Just got me some fresh air and got me a fresh pair
Of them white-on-white Forces, yeah
Summertime classics, yeah
Tryna keep them clean
But you still could get your ass kicked
So better breathe, nigga, one and then a two
I m the one and the two, I m the one they look up to
Haters see me coming through
gotta shut their mouth now (Shh)
They huff and they puff, but couldn t blow this house down
Heard the best swimmer
say, It s bout controllin your breath
I still got the watch lookin like it s holdin its breath
I got the blue face, baby, full of Christian rocks
If you re grievin , keep believin , baby, just don t stop
Now check it, me and Blige, dream ain t fly
They mad cause they left us for dead, but we ain t died
Fuck em

Those things you do to me
Leaves a lasting impression on my heart
There ain t no second best
I ve had my wasted times, but no regrets

Let me have you up just a little
Now you re patient with me, got me stuck like a riddle
You get from top to bottom, never rush in the middle
You never gone too long, but I swear that I miss you
Damn right, I swear that I miss you (Miss you)
Since we ve been together
I ve been countin seconds with you
Didn t think I need you right here
So used to holdin it in, but now I m breathing
And I m inhalin deep, boy, I am breathing
You re so much better for me, oh
Feel so brand new
Fresh air, good news, breathing
So much better for me, yeah

I know exes can t breathe (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blindness, but you and me, we give each other space
I m always excited to see ya
I never really felt this freedom
I think to myself, Is this real or can I be dreamin ?
I think I m in love

Let me have you up just a little
Now you re patient with me, got me stuck like a riddle
You get from top to bottom, never rush in the middle
You never gone too long
but I swear that I miss you (Swear that I miss you)
Damn right, I swear that I miss you (Miss you)
Since we ve been together
I ve been countin seconds with you
Didn t think I need you right here
So used to holdin it in, breathing
And I m inhalin deep, boy, I am breathing
You re so much better for me, yeah
Feel so brand new
Fresh air, good news, breathing
Something better for me, yeah
