Macklemore - Inhale Deep lyrics
Your rating:
We all know life can get hectic But if you live in the second, You exist in the present And that's how you stay connected Go through good times and hardships And if you learn to accept it And know that every struggle in life, Is there to teach you a lesson It's times like this that make you It's always the darkest part of the night, before the sun has it's break through The spirits will knock you down, But if you make that the end You will never know the beauty Of being able to stand up again And face it, with patience, The Pace set is Deliant [?] With judgements and hatred, Repressed hopeless feelings But I've been told, You only create your own ceilings Life is limitless, And knowing this is what the spirit is That's why I try to inhale deep, so I can find peace, and it can find me [?] That's why I lose myself in these beats, Let myself become one with the drum and set myself free Whatever direction life leads me, There is a purpose behind it That's the way it was supposted to be And any time you can turn over a new leaf Y'all know the truth, It's up to us to use the key Been three years since my first album dropped It's been fear that's really got me stuck on the spot Not wanting to put out anything whack So inside of putting licks on my tracks, I put my lips to a sack It's easier to spend your life drunk, And high on drugs Than to put everything on recording, And put it out to be judged We look for the audiance, To put their hands up in love But when they put their hands down, Our confidence really takes the plunge So instead of putting out, Something people might not like I traded my mic in for the pipe I lived the college life, Drinking and smoking every day Rationalizing to myself, That I was going through a phase Then I stopped, Thinking my music would take it's place But when you live in fog, Inspiration is hard to create It takes more to get connected, Than to quit smoking every day And when I get frustrated I get a Swish, And get blown away Then all of a sudden it hit me, These kids are listening If I'm not making music, Then why the fuck am I existing How can I talk about the problems, Of some one else When I don't have the motivation, And confidence to change myself It's been so long since I really truly felt What it's like to live without substances to help [?] With addiction in my blood, I play the cards I was dealt The wind is the most calm, Right before the storm And when you least expect it, It doesn't rain, it pours I swear to God you can never be warned Because with or without that umbrella Nature is still gonna take it's course That's why I try to inhale deep, So I can find peace, and it can find me [?] That's why I lose myself in these beats, Put away the weed, And turn to my MPC [?] C'mon' If I could change, I would change If I could change, I would change If I could change, I would change If I could change, I would change
