Let Me Breathe
Almighty Jay Lyrics

He is from Texas, he is dumb (yuh)
He's not unintelligent just because he's from Texas, but because he makes questionable decisions.

No, not 'cause he is from Texas, 'cause he is dumb (stupid bitch)
Again, he is not a 'stupid bitch' because of his home state, but because of his actions.

And his name is YBN Almighty Jay (you got that right)
This is just a confirmation of his identity.

I guess it's time to wake 'em up, they been sleepin' on me (sleep)
It's time for people to start noticing him and his talent.

They say negative shit every time they speak on me
People often speak negatively of him when they talk about him.

My momma scared to look me up 'cause what she see on me
His mother is afraid of seeing any negative news about him.

My face card good, so I don't need to keep ID on me
His reputation is good enough that he doesn't need to carry identification.

My niggas crazy, so what you wanna do?
He has some wild friends that you wouldn't want to mess with.

Don't listen to anything, but they gon' shoot if I say shoot
Although he doesn't condone violence, his friends would be willing to do something if he asked them to.

Bullets don't got names on 'em so why you think you bulletproof?
He's warning people that no one's invincible and that violence isn't worth it.

Nigga, what the fuck wrong wit' you?
He's emphasizing his point and asking why someone would think they're invincible.

I fuck wit' old bitches cause they understand me better (they do)
He has older girlfriends because they're more understanding of his situation.

Young bitches, they just chase the cheddar (they do)
Young girls are only interested in money and material things.

She gon' take it all, depend on if you let her (she will)
A young girl could take advantage of him and his money if he's not careful.

Come on pimp, I thought you knew better (yeah)
He's calling out someone who should know the game better and avoid young gold-diggers.

I'm tryna get high, roll a blunt up (blunt), now I roll two up
He's smoking a lot right now to cope with his problems.

Put my depression in this drank (drank), so I pour two cups (drank)
He's struggling with depression and uses alcohol to cope with it.

The critics always on my dick (yuh), and now I'm fed up (fed up)
He's tired of critics always talking negatively about him.

Every time I tell my pops, he tell me keep my head up (what, what)
His father supports him and encourages him to stay positive.

Just let me breathe (let me breathe), what would you do if you was me? (Huh)
He's asking for some space and understanding of what his life is like.

Don't know what I go through just to get to where I wanna be (yuh)
Only he knows the struggles he's gone through to get where he is.

You don't got niggas plottin' on you, tryna rob you at the beach (you don't)
He's referencing specific threats he's received.

I can't even wear my jewelry if I wanna cross the street
He can't wear his valuable jewelry out in public without worrying about his safety.

What would you do if you had a son at nineteen? (What would you do)
He's pointing out the unique difficulties he faces as a young father.

The internet tryna turn me into a beast (woah)
The internet is encouraging others to view him and his behavior in a negative light.

The Shade Room always postin' everything they see (what would you do)
A celebrity gossip site is constantly reporting on his life, whether accurate or not.

These niggas hatin' in my comments like some geeks (what would you do)
Online haters are attacking him and criticizing him behind the safety of their keyboards.

Groupie bitches tryna turn me into a freak (what)
He's being pursued by women who want to use him for his fame and money.

Gotta watch these niggas, surrounded by fake friends
He can't trust everyone around him and is wary of betrayal.

You say fame change me, but it changed you (yuh)
He's confronting someone who claims his fame has affected his personality.

Wanna eat together, but won't pay up when the change due (yuh)
People want to hang out with him but aren't willing to help cover expenses.

Fuckin' bitches I used to dream about, look what that fame do
He's had sexual relationships with women he only knew about from dreaming or fantasizing about them.

They think I'm a perfect person, nigga I got pain too (I do)
Others assume he has no problems because he's famous, but he faces his own struggles and pain.

You don't know what I been through (been through), cause I don't speak on it (speak on it)
He's been through a lot, but often doesn't talk about it publicly.

Every time my name on drama, man they tweet it on it (tweet it on it)
Even minor incidents get blown up on social media and he's constantly in the public eye.

All the good shit I do, they never speak on it (at all)
He's frustrated that nobody talks about his positive efforts and contributions.

If you make that bed, then you gon' have to sleep on it
He's warning people that their actions have consequences and they can't complain about it later.

I don't want the fame no more, they don't act the same no more
He's tired of how people treat him and doesn't want the fame anymore.

I don't want these hoes no more, I don't want these chains no more
He's distancing himself from his former extravagant lifestyle.

I don't wanna fuck you shawty, don't know what you came here for
He's no longer interested in pursuing casual sexual relationships.

I don't want these blogging sites to ever say my name no more
He's tired of being the subject of negative press and gossip websites.
