Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Big nick:
I like to get creative
Indigenous lyrics call my tongues native
Always complex, but never complicated
I’m fresh-slated, you know, clean-plated
Exceeding limits but my overdraft is always understated
I flex rhymes ‘til they’re dilapidated, deteriorated
Never abbreviated, alleviated, or deviated
Previously stated lyrics are braided
With some raw shit that’s graded like the usda did dood
Ay kid, you been jaded, hatin, baited, by a system outdated
Faded, keeps ya waitin’ until yer mated and then yer fucked
With some kids
So breathe this in and breathe it out
If ye listens then ye will know what i’m about
Flood flow never drought
Luck low? think it out.
Seeds grow up, sprout
Just take a little sunshine in and let it all out.
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Charlie moonbeam:
B-b-b-breathe me in, sip me up and swallow me
My love is yer life-force, you couldn’t help but follow me
Wallow up all of me, ecstasy is callin’ me
Violatin’ policy, like she never heard me speak the truth
The truth is ruthless like yer toothless grin
I was given the option so I choose to pen
Listen as I make sense again of how the world remained hostile in 2000 and when
I slip
Between the cracks of the snare and the claps in yer ear til you act like you care
I’m off
To take my head straight to space while I contemplate my face my he(art) chillin’ its pace
I feel
Like shit’s startin’ to get real, the boys in the back and big nick at the wheel
We ride
Into the sun like gunslingers, hearin’ prophecies from durga
Cuz you know we had to bring her
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Let it all out with yer body
Let it all out
Inhale.
Exhale.
Repeat.
We do it how we do to get you movin’ on yer feet
Inhale.
Exhale.
Repeat.
We do it how we do to keep you groovin’ to the beat

The lyrics of whysowhite's song "Exhale" encourage listeners to let go of their tensions and worries and just breathe. The song starts with a repetition of "Let it all out with yer body, Let it all out" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. Big Nick starts by sharing his love for creativity and how it reflects in his music. He talks about how his lyrics are never complicated, but always complex. He raps about exceeding limits without drawing attention to it and how his lyrics are never abbreviated, alleviated or deviated.
The second verse comes in with Charlie Moonbeam, who talks about breathing him in and swallowing him up, stating that his love is the listener's life-force that they can't help but follow. He speaks about the hostility of the world during the early 2000s and how he slips between the cracks to make sense of it all. The boys in the back with Big Nick driving pave the way towards finding new means of expression.
The song is all about letting go, exhaling all the sadness, stress, and worries, and inhaling love and positivity. It appreciates creativity and art, and how music helps people get moved and groove with the beat. It talks about taking one step ahead, riding to the sun like gunslingers, and finding comfort in Durga's prophecy. The song aims at emboldening people to live free and let go of their situations that bother them.

Faded, keeps ya waitin’ until yer mated and then yer fucked with some kids
Society tries to keep people distracted and waiting until they are settled with a family, then they are stuck with responsibilities they may not be ready for

Verse 2 by the artist Charlie Moonbeam
B-b-b-breathe me in, sip me up and swallow me
Take in my love and make it a part of you
My love is yer life-force, you couldn’t help but follow me
My love gives you energy and direction
Wallow up all of me, ecstasy is callin’ me
Fully embrace me and enjoy this moment of happiness
Violatin’ policy, like she never heard me speak the truth
Breaking the rules in order to be honest
The truth is ruthless like yer toothless grin
The truth can be harsh and unforgiving
I was given the option so I choose to pen
I have the choice to express myself through writing and I choose to do so
Listen as I make sense again of how the world remained hostile in 2000 and when
I explain how the world has stayed unfriendly over the years
I slip
I escape
Between the cracks of the snare and the claps in yer ear til you act like you care
I slip away unnoticed while the listener is distracted by the music
I’m off
I'm leaving
To take my head straight to space while I contemplate my face my he(art) chillin’ its pace
I'm freeing my mind to think and reflect on myself while relaxing my heart
I feel
I am sensing
Like shit’s startin’ to get real, the boys in the back and big nick at the wheel
Things are getting serious now and my friends are supporting me
We ride
We move forward together
Into the sun like gunslingers, hearin’ prophecies from durga
We move forward bravely and listen to spiritual guidance
Cuz you know we had to bring her
We had to bring this spiritual guide with us
Inhale.
Take a deep breath in
Exhale.
Breathe out slowly
Repeat.
Do it again
We do it how we do to get you movin’ on yer feet
We use this technique to get you dancing
We do it how we do to keep you groovin’ to the beat
We use this technique to keep you enjoying the music and dancing
Let it all out with yer body
Release all your emotions and feelings through physical movement
Let it all out
Don't suppress anything, express it all freely
