[00:00:00] Breathless (Stop The Music Album Version) - NEW BREED [00:00:21] As I catch my breath [00:00:23] I step into a dream [00:00:25] And it seems no premonition [00:00:27] Or intuition or inner vision imagines [00:00:30] I'm having a blast from the past [00:00:32] As I move through that groove [00:00:34] Way back before the tool used by my crew was ever [00:00:37] Worldwide Internet accessible [00:00:40] Before I was wise and realized that the pressure to [00:00:43] Be the man can and will make you ill [00:00:45] If you lack skill to stay real and just feel the rhythm [00:00:48] Listen I ain't driven by sale [00:00:50] I'm inspired by the fire that fell from Messiah [00:00:53] I'm tired of the stories of dark hearts [00:00:55] That dwelled in the dark parts of [00:00:56] The neighborhood known as Mission Park [00:00:58] I'm enraged for my people they locked in a cage [00:01:00] I'm the flame for my brother who lives with no name [00:01:03] I am the voice of a shorty that died with no choice [00:01:06] No choice I had but to be this bad [00:01:08] And to travel through the land with a mic in my hand [00:01:11] Communicating his plan [00:01:12] No matter who or what stand in my way [00:01:14] I'm amazed that God chose me [00:01:16] Yo it's a humbling experience to be an emcee [00:01:19] I'm awestruck that God saw fit to use me [00:01:21] It's a humbling experience y'all [00:01:23] From the stars at night [00:01:25] To the morning light [00:01:26] From the Love received [00:01:27] Because I believe [00:01:29] That's my serenity [00:01:29] Sounds so heavenly takes my breath away [00:01:33] To all the times when the speakers blazin so loud [00:01:36] And I'm gazin to the crowd it leave me humble [00:01:38] Because it's sold out [00:01:40] And I ain't never sold out [00:01:41] It leave me breathless [00:01:45] And as I catch my breath [00:01:47] I continue to glorify for the life the Lord and I share [00:01:50] Regardless of who or how many care [00:01:52] I stay aware that he's near [00:01:54] And if there never was a beat to box [00:01:56] A block party to rock [00:01:57] A floor lord to pop [00:01:58] A spray can to stop and then run [00:02:00] A DJ to drop on the one [00:02:02] It's all good life is more than a drum [00:02:04] I live my life as a son through the Son [00:02:06] So y'all never have to guess from [00:02:08] Which Kingdom I come from [00:02:09] Never will run from some uncircumcised Philistine [00:02:13] I'm created to reign [00:02:14] In his image and likeness [00:02:16] Many they try to fight this [00:02:17] I visualize life through His eyes as I write this [00:02:19] Them lights might make me shine like a star [00:02:22] But yo [00:02:23] I'm humbled through the fact that I'm a child y'all [00:02:25] I said I'm humble through the fact [00:02:26] That I'm a child of God [00:02:27] From the stars at night [00:02:28] To the morning light [00:02:29] From the Love received [00:02:31] Because I believe [00:02:32] That's my serenity [00:02:33] Sounds so heavenly takes my breath away [00:02:36] To all the times when the speakers blazin so loud [00:02:39] And I'm gazin to the crowd it leave me humble [00:02:41] Because it's sold out [00:02:42] And I ain't never sold out [00:02:45] It leave me breathless [00:02:48] As I catch my breath [00:02:51] I'm blown away by the future that's still to come [00:02:54] But yet I'm humbled through the smile of my godson [00:02:56] The way my family looks to me [00:02:57] Is an awesome responsibility [00:02:59] I could care less if the whole world's feelin me [00:03:02] If my niece can't call me in Cali and confide in me [00:03:05] I'm live in lies if she looks into my eyes [00:03:07] And can't see the same man with plans and ambition [00:03:10] Who left the park of eighteen years with a mission [00:03:12] And though I'll succeed and achieve my goals [00:03:15] I ain't tryin to gain riches at the cost of my soul [00:03:17] I've been taught by many wise men in my day [00:03:20] But lately I've been taught by the day that's right [00:03:23] My life since "76" [00:03:26] Been full of blessings and devilish tricks
