DEEP BREATHS

ברוך השם, אני נושם
ברוך השם, אני נושם
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
ברוך השם, אני נושם
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
ברוך השם, אני נושם
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
