Luyện nghe bài hát Respiration

"what'd you do last "
"we did umm, two cars
It was me, dez, and main three
And on the first car in small letters it
'all you see is..' and you know
Big, big, you know some silver letters
That said '..crime in the right? "
"it just up the whole car? "
"yeah yeah, it was a car and shit..."

[spanish speaking escuchela..

def]
The new moon rode high in the of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of
People was tusslin, arguin and
of gotham hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin words and ideas
My is picky, seekin what will transmit
The scribes can to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the is suitable
alive, let's describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we new the narcotic
Strength in and fiber optics
Where mercenaries is paid to hot stock tips
For profits, thirsty criminals take
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin watches
is collosus, the cost of living
Is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No and robin, can't tell between
The cops and the robbers, they both partners, they all
no conscience, back streets stay darkened
Where hearts stay hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened, like city lights throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the shiny
Is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You could your teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, averages
My narrative, rose to explain existance
Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the

So on my mind that I can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Heard the bass out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the train leaving

Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty
We stoop to new lows, froze the night the city slept
The beast crept concrete jungles
Communicatin with one
And ghetto where waters fall
From the hydrants to the
The beast walk the beats, but the we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin shaken
them plungers, plungin to death that's painted by the numbers
With crime unapplied pressure, cats is god
But havin children by a lesser baby but fuck it
We played against each other like puppets, you got pull
When the only pull you got is the wool over your
Gettin knowledge in jail like a in disguise
Look in the skies for god, what you see the smog
Is broken dreams flying on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts that put in the air
Places where you could get murdered over a
But everything is
It's a paradox we call
So keepin it real will make you of abnormal normality
Killers born naturally like, mickey and
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped like an nba
Some be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is what you believe in
For trees to grow in brooklyn, seeds to be planted
I'm asking if y'all me and the crowd left me stranded
My blood pressure boiled and rose, new york niggaz
Actin at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I take the l, transfer to the 2, to the gates
New york type trife the roman empire state

So much on my mind I just recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that
Breathe out, weed retrace the skyline
Yo don't the ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die the last train leaving

speaking woman] escuchela.. respirando ? ?

Yo...on the amen, corner I stood lookin at my hood
Felt the in the wind, knew my friend was gone for good
dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered
I coreograph seven to heaven
And hell, waiting to exhale and the bread leavened
Veteran of a cold war it's for
What I know or, known
So some days I the bus home, just to touch home
From the crib I spend months
Sat by the window with a clutched dome listenin to cuss long
Young with weak minds, but they butt strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the lord, but have a touch-tone
It's a world, you gotta mush on
Some of this I must own
Outta the city, they us gone
Tearin the 'jects creatin plush homes
My circumstance is between cabrini and love
by hate, yet I love home
Ask my God how he travellin the world sound
Found it hard to imagine he hadn't past downtown
It's deep, I heard the city breathe in sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to
Deep, I heard my man breathe in his
Of I touch, but for me it's hard to keep

[mos def and
So on my mind I just can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Yo how the bass out like an ancient mating call
I take it y'all, I can feel the city breathing
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Kiss the ide's goodbye, I'm on the last train
