[intro]
2
"It's just, like, just kinda slowdown and go, "˜Okay, here's just a bunch of people, people, human beings in a room whose every breath is from God.'"
3
[chorus]
4
Breathe in, breathe out
5
We sing and we shout
6
We are people, simple people
7
We live and we die
8
We laugh, we cry
9
We are people, simple people
10
[verse 1]
11
They say there's no reason to be afraid
12
Living and dying's in our DNA
13
From conception our direction is an empty grave
14
And the motto that we follow is to hollow out our conscious
15
So responsible decisions aren't the ones we make
16
Don't want people to tell us when
17
It seems our life story needs a little embellishing
18
You come across boring so you make your story something people want around
19
But living on the edge means you're a step away from falling down
20
Happiness is relative, happiness ain't settling
21
Baggage getting in the way
22
Someone had to take these things
23
The fact is the past is distracting the masses
24
With sadness masking the path, this is tragic
25
Is what you're doing right now helping your situation?
26
Or is you're behavior the anchor to your elevation?
27
We want to be wanted, we want to be something
28
The need to be someone is coming when we're feeling like nothing
29
So breathe in
30
[chorus]
31
[verse 2]
32
I find myself always doing a little something extra
33
Tryna make the people that surround me laugh
34
"˜Cause if I do, chances are they'll think I'm worth something
35
But the real me is slipping to the me of the past
36
Wanting affirmation, lacking confidence
37
Compliments were motivation
38
Thank God for honest friends
39
Who will call you on your bluffs, tough love says you're acting different
40
I'm down to change, but on some realness, I lack commitment
41
Back when I was a kid I was ignorant to the news
42
That real life isn't always pop and sometimes it's the blues
43
Growing up will teach you things they don't teach you in school
44
And you can know a lot of things and can still be a fool
45
I spent time and spent money, only one of them can be replaced
46
Both can cost you something, both can go to waste
47
It's best when we invest in progression
48
North, not south when suggestin' direction
49
[chorus]
50
[bridge] x4
51
Hear no, see no, speak no evil
52
Different dreams for different people
53
Nothing wrong with the simple life
54
Are you being you or someone else inside?
55
[chorus]
56
[outro]
57
"There's a being up there, and that's all this is about."
