Devin The Dude - Fresh Air lyrics
(feat. Rum & DNA) [Devin the Dude:] Indeedly I needed me, a breath of fresh air Stepped outside, but wasn't none there Took a walk up the block, why not to get a cold drank f** it a twelve, it ain't like I ain't got no bank With a stride I arrive, at the corner sto' I felt sorry for a bum, I gave him some he said he wanted mo' Wanted to kick him in his chest, and take my ends back Started to think, bout where his family and his friends at And I could even be his kin, that didn't recognize him Walk right pa**ed, and despised him Or he can even be, disguised as a peasant But really he's an angel, derived from up in heaven Just to scope out the selfish, and the ones with greed Who don't give sh**, and take more than what they need And then I thought to myself, say dude he's a man too I gave him a few more dollas, and a cool breeze came through [Rum:] For certain I was hurting, kinda down on my luck Seems I had just run out of gas, and I needed a few bucks Wires hanging out the tire, on my raggedy truck And I ain't gon' lie I wanna cry, but hell I s**ed the sh** up And get to walking with this gas can, looking like a mad man Talking to myself, trying to formulate a game plan And that's quite difficult, when you ain't got no cash in hand And the people that could help you, pa**ing by you laughing And it's hot and they don't understand, have no idea And you probably wouldn't get the picture either, till you out here With nobody else to help, and you just stuck with yourself Searching for strength to carry on, and not give up on yourself Though it's hard but I just, keep my stride keep my pace Swallow my pride like I must exceed, and keep my faith I'm asking God cause I don't know, how much mo' I can take But it's when I couldn't bend no mo', that's why they gave me a break and I'm like [DNA:] Life is like a roller coaster, always up and down And what goes around, n***a always come around Trying to stay above water mayn, I ain't trying to drown Know we all gotta die, but I ain't trying to go now I weeble and wobble, but I won't fall Struggle a little, but I won't crawl If I fall down s**er, I'ma pop back tall I ain't perfect, but I'm trying to do the right thing y'all If I could press rewind, and do it over again Then I would right all my wrongs, and erase all my sins But I can't, all I can do is pray and don't pull a stunt I got more time that's behind me, then I got left in front I finally see in which direction, that I need to go I might crash moving too fast, so I'm taking it slow And I learned life's a gamble, and sometimes it ain't fair When I'm faced with sh** I can't handle, I go get some fresh air
