Room to Breathe

Another late one…
I just need room to breathe.
Ke teng.

I need room to breathe, room to breathe, room to breathe—yeah
All this work on me, work on me, work on me—yeah
If you see me in the light—tell the stress bye-bye
I need room tonight— tell the stress bye-bye

Dawn on I-70, runnin' on fumes—still brave
Coffee in the cup, but I refuse to be a slave
Mama hit my phone: ",you good? I miss your face"
I'm good just busy and this rent don't wait for grace
Clock in, clock out yeah I did my part, my time
Now I need one hour where my body feel like mine
Been holdin' it together, done pretendin' I'm fine
Tonight I pick peace like it's my favorite line

Hands up if you worked too hard
Hands up if you kept your heart
I'm not here to be small
I'm here to have it all

Turn it up, turn it up
Let me shake that heavy off
All day, all day now it's me time, that's the job I want
I need room, I need room I want air in my skin
One more, one more
let the weekend begin

Who need space? I need space
Who need breath? I need breath
Who got time tonight?
Who got time tonight?

They love to talk like a man should sit and wait
Like I'm on a timer like I'm late to my own fate
But I paid my own way, built my peace, bought my calm
If love come with respect, cool. If not keep it gone
I don't need no lecture, I need the beat to hit my spine
Need my people two-steppin'
straight line, clean line
Need that moment where the pressure don't feel true
Like the sky got clearer and the room got new

Hands up if you worked too hard
Hands up if you kept your heart
I'm not here to be small
I'm here to have it all

Turn it up, turn it up
Let me shake that heavy off
All day, all day
Now it's me time, that's the job I want
I need room, I need room I want air in my skin
One more, one more
Let the weekend begin

I used to shrink for the room
Now the room move for me
I used to ask for a break
Now I take it easy
I'm not just survivin'
I'm stylin', I'm shinin'
Laughin' out loud like the world can't define me

Hey! Room to breathe!
Hey! Re outside!
Room to breathe
Re tsamaya!

Turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up
All day, all day
Turn it up, turn it up
All day, all day
Turn it up, turn it up
All day, all day
I need room to breathe,
Room to breathe, room to breathe
Room to breathe, room to breathe

I need room to breathe,
Room to breathe, room to breathe
Room to breathe, room to breathe
Hayi mntase…Hayi mntase…
Room to breathe now… mm.
Room to breathe
Room to breathe
Ke teng.
I need room to breathe
Room to breathe
Room to breathe
Ke teng
