DEEP BREATHS

ברוך השם, אני נושם

Thank G-d I’m breathing… Thank G-d I’m breathing

Every step, of this journey is a struggle

Spilled so many tears my toes got soaked in the puddle

But whenever I stumbled, I stood back up on the double

All attempts to prevent my ascent eventually crumbled, not once did I tumble

Though I got a multitude of bruises I strive to keep the colors subtle,

Difficult as it is at times, I try to remain somewhat humble

But don’t mistake my modesty as vulnerable, ‘cause I’m indestructible

I chew up and spit out haters like I do super bubble

If you hear my stomach start to rumble, I strongly suggest you up your hustle

I disassemble enemies without even flexin’ a muscle

It took one hundred tons of heavy chunks of rubble

Before I discovered all the pieces that had been missing from my puzzle

Prayed to G-d everyday for an escape from this trouble; he sent me a shovel

I dug down til I found the strength to rip off this muzzle

That tries to muffle my sound, now my words are clear never mumbled

Steady pulse, I won’t take my eye off the light at the end of the tunnel

ברוך השם, אני נושם

Thank G-d I’m breathing… Thank G-d I’m breathing

Who am I to stand before you, broken crying as I implore you

To provide me with some guidance because the night tries to distort views

These rhymes are like my support group, speak my mind, emotions pour through

Off my chest the open door prevents the ignition of my short fuse

Look at all the poor fools, think their better I need some more proof

None of them can touch me; to them I’m like a porcu---pine

These guys is liars I don’t waste my time with those that sore lose

The present is a gift something we can’t afford to misuse

Escort me to the court room, G-d’s the only judge I report to

Rest assured that all I introduce is nothin but the pure truth

Once they cut my umbilical cord I understood that I was born to

Transform the darkest shades of gray into palette full of warm hues

Prior to my favorite form of torture I was just an immature youth

But now that I’ve survived cliff diving I’m as well rounded as a horse shoe

Yes I met depression head on and never looked for a detour route

Whatever lies in store for me, I’ll endure, and improve

ברוך השם, אני נושם

Thank G-d I’m breathing… Thank G-d I’m breathing

I spit, lyrical game like a llama

No set destination, I tend to wander

And, saunter in circles until people ponder

Exactly where has HARDCHARLiE’s off button gone to

It very well mighta been stolen by a robber

Stop me if you can forgive me if I’m improper

If you wanna shoot me just shoot me with shot or two of vodka

I’m Jewish so I save my pennies I got lots of copper

My flows are hotter than lava,

There’s no competition within my vision to cause a problem

Consider me a scholar, look at all I accomplished

Incompetent rappers should take a lesson in knowledge

From hip hop college, I earned a doctorate with honors

Product of nation that can never be demolished

Prepare to be astonished, I’m gonna dominate and conquer

My words are sharp as knives and y’all about to be slaughtered

ברוך השם, אני נושם

Thank G-d I’m breathing… Thank G-d I’m breathing
