Don't Hold Your Breath
Manga Saint Hilare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Yeah)
When I spit it's all sauce and tech'
Been hard from early like morning sex
I dead beats, like boring sex
Alive and kicking like morning breath
When I'm talking I'm talking straight
No if maybes or sort of said (nah)
You think I won't burn your bridge
Say less like an awkward friend
Food for thought
Full your belly the portions dense
Don't call me bro
That can't run like a broke my leg (nine)
You're all pretend
Telling lies, I won't fall for them
Every year, I'm always here
Like your supportive friend
You know how my ting set
Always danger when I'm on set
All I know is corn and kweff
Ain't talking set times when I'm on next
Doing a mad ting, but I can match it
Just like camping, I'm more intense
Working hard so I leave my mark
Leave them all impressed

All I
Say no more that's all I said
Get back up if I fall again
With my dawgs, I ain't forcing friends
If you go, stay gone
Don't come around and act cool again
Wishing I disappeared
Maybe soon but don't hold your

Outsider born and bred
It's like they get bored and bread
Your new one is like your last one
I thought you re-recorded again (same ting)
Gassed up the ting online
I heard your vibe and got bored instead (trust)
I'm so confused
Man get rich off these poor attempts (okay)
So let me talk it then (yeah)
It's pees when you call my phone
Different type of call and collect
Still go in like your boring friend (mad)
Every riddim is a bop
Like I got one shorter leg
Every riddim is a bop
Like I took a long walk off ends (mad)
Watch where I walk and step
Don't want to be part of the walking dead
But each to their own I guess
I got vibes, they ain't thought of yet
I think I'm colder than all of them
Work at a different temp'
If I write then it all goes left
Bare smoke nobody's exempt

All I
Say no more that's all I said
Get back up if I fall again
With my dawgs I ain't forcing friends
If you go, stay gone
Don't come around and act cool again
Wishing I disappeared
Maybe soon, but don't hold your

Hold your breath
Don't hold your breath
Listen I'm going nowhere
Don't hold your breath
You don't wanna see me go there
So watch your step




Listen I'm going nowhere
Don't hold your breath

Overall Meaning

In the song "Don't Hold Your Breath," Manga Saint Hilare delivers introspective and confident lyrics about his artistry and his attitude towards others. He begins by asserting his skill in his craft, comparing his spit (rap) to both sauce (flavorful and impactful) and tech (technological advancements). He emphasizes his longevity and resilience, stating that he has been hard from an early age, just like morning sex. He uses wordplay to describe his disdain for weak beats and insincere people, likening them to boring sex and emphasizing his vibrancy and energy by contrasting it with morning breath, which is a sign of life. Manga Saint Hilare makes it clear that when he speaks, he speaks honestly and directly, with no room for ambiguity or hesitation.


He addresses those who doubt his abilities, warning them not to underestimate him or think they can harm him. He likens himself to an awkward friend, suggesting that he might surprise them and burn their metaphorical bridge. Manga Saint Hilare uses the metaphor of food for thought to describe the depth and profoundness of his lyrics, stating that they can fill one's belly with dense portions of knowledge and insight. He dismisses those who pretend and lie, asserting that he will not fall for their deceit. He also highlights his consistency and dedication, comparing himself to a supportive friend who is always there.


The chorus reinforces his determined and self-assured attitude. He declares that he needs no further explanation or discussion and asserts that he will rise again if he falls. He distances himself from superficial friendships, cautioning those who have left to stay gone and not attempt to reconnect with him. He suggests that he may disappear in the future, but warns others not to hold their breath in anticipation.


In the second verse, Manga Saint Hilare refers to his outsider identity, indicating that he was born and bred differently from others. He suggests that people become bored easily and are repetitive in their actions, likening their new relationships to their past ones that they keep re-recording, as if following a familiar pattern. He criticizes those who hype themselves up online but fail to impress him, emphasizing his confusion towards their attempts. He acknowledges that he has achieved success despite the poor attempts of others to imitate him.


The verse further displays his unique artistry and thoughtfulness, utilizing wordplay to describe his approach to music. He asserts that each of his songs (riddims) is catchy and engaging, comparing himself to someone with a shorter leg who has an innate rhythm. He emphasizes his individuality and independence, stating that he pays attention to where he walks to avoid being part of the "walking dead," a metaphor for a meaningless existence. He acknowledges that everyone is entitled to their own choices, but he believes his vibes and ideas are superior and unthought of by others. He concludes by asserting his colder demeanor and ability to work at a different temperature, suggesting that his creativity and impact are unmatched. He warns that anyone who gets in his way will face the consequences.


The chorus is reiterated at the end, with Manga Saint Hilare emphasizing that he is going nowhere and those who doubt him shouldn't hold their breath waiting for his disappearance. He conveys a sense of confidence and determination, warning others that he won't back down easily and that they should watch their step.
