about

One of the new tracks off of Joshua's upcoming LP.

lyrics

Last year, I kicked my drug infatuation
Sober-minded now, focused: I don't ask; I take it
Living good, feeling good, all the drama's out
Not at work? You'll probably find me at my mama's house
Or sitting, reading in a green piece of forest
The dictionary I carry or a thesaurus
Jotting bars I connect with my current thought
No Playstation or XBOX; I turned it off
Lack of distractions on my path to craft a classic
Smashing tracks that most of y'all are passed with
I'm on my late mode, tryna be great mode
My "I don't care what you think or what you say," mode
I'm finding freedom in breathing and simply being
Things I hated in myself, I'm no longer seeing
I'm improving, still a ways to go and more to learn
Stop judging. Let it go. Court adjourned...

CH:
Breathe in, breathe out X3
Forget the critics and what they're talking about
Just
Breathe in, breathe out X3
Forget the critics and what they're talking about

I had a millionaire tell me I was too bold, then an A&R rep said, "Too old,"
Guess the rhyme stuck cuz it kinda lines up with the chick I'd wife cuz she's been saying that I'm "too cold"
Sorry lady, I'd love to make you my baby, but I'm riding these beats and the MTA lately
Cuz I deserve to rock a drop-top Mercedes and a mansion with a pond and a dock and some shade trees
I've got a plan, if you think that you can get with it: sit back, relax, and reap the benefit
When I'm working, know I'm building for us, but you doubting me is killing the trust
Cuz I'm just so over, all of these women calling my name, playing Red Rover
Bet it never did occur I'm an introvert with some inner hurt they interpret as a cold shoulder...

CH:
Breathe in, breathe out X3
Forget the critics and what they're talking about
Just
Breathe in, breathe out X3
Forget the critics and what they're talking about

My mind's racing, and it's really not a secret
I find it silly searching for peeps to compete with
That's the old me; he's still holding keys to a dungeon I have already completed
Next-gen on my next level art class
The type of art that the critics pick apart fast
"Bless his red heart. Let's give him a head-start."
But what's a head-start when I have to start last?
I'm from a family where secrets hit the fire pit
And getting cancer is the typical retirement
Money comes slow; money goes quick
And our ship sets sail long before we even sighted it
Believe the only man I trust is on the microphone
My head's swimming full of lyrics, but I like it though
Give me a pen, pad, beat and I'm right at home
Cuz my music kills the pain of living life alone.

CH:
Breathe in, breathe out X3
Forget the critics and what they're talking about
Just
Breathe in, breathe out X3
Forget the critics and what they're talking about
