Mars Ill
What's this song about?

1
(Verse #1)
2
It's the beginning of the 9th inning and I'm winning
3
You'll find me mind-bending inside of each five-minute time limit
4
And it's documented, we're breaking bones of contention
5
Fine tuning what's spinning and expanding my dominion
6
These upper-handed dimensions all contributed to the folklore
7
Got rappers raising their standards, fans demanding what they'd hoped for
8
Cramming letters in a bottle. We'll just call it a test tube
9
My style is Aristotle mixed with Krush Groove (So Just Move!)
10
And watch my verses cut through when you hear the words I Love You
11
Break off a piece of my heard tucked into every record groove
12
And you'll walk different in these corrective shoes/
13
But you'll recognize the revolution and act out what most don't get to do
14
You'll take what's meant for you, no longer survive on what they pass down/
15
Win or lose, you'll live your life knowing you never backed down
16
"˜Cause man shall not live by the bottle alone
17
I keep a fist raised to the sky so you can follow me home, it goes"¦
18
(Hook)
19
If you know like we know, BREATHE SLOW
20
BREATHE SLOW"¦ (Repeat)
21
(Verse #2)
22
Until my body cracks the pavement and shakes the face of the basement
23
Lacing the foundation with scars that sacrifice is bound to leave
24
Break inner-city boundaries so suburbanites are down to see
25
This cultural way of life and how music is more than sound to me
26
But freedom's lungs are heavy from pushing these smoke signals out
27
And we've become so disillusioned that we're scared to notice
28
The eviction notice speaking its clout with screams and shouts, but trust me
29
Clarity's waiting there on the other side of your focus
30
So snatch the breath from blasphemy emphatically
31
Transform naturally, control the art before it masters me
32
Breathe slow and hold the hand of whoever you can reach for
33
Touch the ones you've never seen before "˜til the common good is restored
34
"˜Til the homeless are all execs and capitalism yields to ethics
35
"˜Til janitors live in mansions and schoolteachers can push a Lexus
36
"˜Til beef is deaded and debt is erased or collected
37
"˜Til the projects and country clubs are now and forever connected
38
I'll speak my messages "˜til they get it
39
Until you're touched by something sacred and love is all that you're left with
40
Blessed is the head that shares the crown that he possesses
41
Consider yourselves my brethren and this song is my confession
42
"˜Cause man shall not live by the bottle alone
43
I keep a fist raised to the sky so you can follow me home
44
And all your problems can't be solved by one call on the phone
45
I keep a fist raised to the sky so you can follow me home, it goes"¦
46
(Hook)
47
(Verse #3)
48
Right before you rock a show, BREATHE SLOW/
49
When a promoter owes you dough, BREATHE SLOW
50
When your career doesn't blow [up], BREATHE SLOW
51
You bounced five checks in a row, BREATHE SLOW
52
If you're tired of being po, BREATHE SLOW
53
You can't see the status quo, BREATHE SLOW
54
You got more cons than pros, BREATHE SLOW
55
You got fisticuffs to throw, BREATHE SLOW
56
Ayo, your boss told you no, BREATHE SLOW
57
Say Mars ILL told you so, BREATHE SLOW
58
You gotta suffer to grow, BREATHE SLOW
59
Shine your light until you glow, BREATHE SLOW"¦
