Breathing (feat. Constantine)

Ayo, what's happenin, it's KXNG Crooked
I dedicate this to all the rappers out there
That's better than the rappers that's on right now
I know its hard hol up

Getting kinda hard to breathe without ya
Don't take my oxygen
No just can't be without ya
One call and be right on my way
Getting hard to breathe without ya
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't want to be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain

I know you wanna make it to the tip-top
But it's difficult to get it in hip-hop
So you side hustle
Bag it in the zip lock
Cuz you're too lyrical to go viral on TikTok
Under the radar, every time your shit drop
Cuz they listening to Kidz Bop and you're like
Oh no, dawg, y'all really think that shit's hot
How many spitters the top 10 got pen drop
Silence of the lamb, there's too many sheep
While you're reaching for your dreams there's too many sleep
But you in the deep, so you gotta keep going
Through the pain and the failure, you gotta keep growing
On God
Let me tell you what this shit is about
This rap biz is a math quiz, figure it out
Bigger the problem you solve, the bigger your house
The bigger the checks and 6 figure amounts hit your account
Word
If music is your real occupation, this ain't no rap homie
This is a consultation
A business conversation about your operation
I see the spark you chasing, like Rock Nation
What if you never meet Jay
You never meet Em
What if you never meet Drake
What if you never meet them
You better be ready and never over-wait to take chances
Then your chances can never be slim
I want you to make it

Getting kinda hard to breathe without ya
Don't take my oxygen
No just can't be without ya
One call and be right on my way
Getting hard to breathe without ya
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't want to be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain

It's getting hard to breathe
Feeling the pressure from all the sides
I'm trembling in my knees
Everybody's trynna see me fall
But I got nowhere to fall from, cuz I'm still on the floor trynna make it up
Wanna do shows, make people jump
Wanna have a message, fuck Donald Trump
The election wasn't rigged man, you just fucked up
Exactly what I'm trynna avoid, hope my luck don't run out
Hopefully the opposite, cuz I'm really trynna make it big
Yeah I'm 18 but I think I'm better than Meghan, shit
Or that Lil Pump kid, not I'm not trynna diss
I'm just saying it's not music, what it takes to make it in the biz

Getting kinda hard to breathe without ya
Don't take my oxygen
No just can't be without ya
One call and be right on my way
Getting hard to breathe without ya
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't want to be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain

And if that's what they produced in their prime
Their music won't stand the test of time
Some people's will, shoutout Billie
Same age as me but she got some millies
Then there are legends, shoutout Eminem
He did his shit without playlisting or Instagram
What I really hope now, is that I can do the same
And have half as good discography attached to my name.

Getting kinda hard to breathe without ya
Don't take my oxygen
No just can't be without ya
One call and be right on my way
Getting hard to breathe without ya
And right now I can't feel my face
Don't want to be without you
I do this stuff to numb my pain
