Luyện nghe bài hát Respiration

"What'd you do night?"
"We did umm, two cars
It was me, Dez, and Three right?
And on the first car in small letters it
'All you see is..' and you know
big, big, you know some block silver
that said '..crime in the right?"
"It just took up the car?"
"Yeah yeah, it was a car and shit..."

[spanish woman] Escuchela..

[Mos
The new moon rode high in the crown of the
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, arguin and
Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore
I'm wrestlin with and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin will transmit
the can apply to transcript, yo
ain't no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New the narcotic
Strength in and fiber optics
mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock tips
for profits, thirsty criminals take
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin class
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you or die, no options
No Batman and Robin, can't between
the cops and the robbers, both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts hardened
My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like city stay throbbin
You either make a way or sobbin, the Shiny Apple
is but sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, many crews
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and down
to savages, NASDAQ averages
My narrative, rose to explain existance
Amidst the lights which remain in the distance

So much on my mind I can't recline
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Heard the ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Sigh before we die like the last leaving

[Talib
Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on steps
we stoop to new lows, hell the night the city slept
The beast crept through concrete
communicatin one another
And ghetto birds waters fall
from the to the gutters
The walk the beats, but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, visibly shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to death that's by the numbers
crime unapplied pressure, cats is playin God
but havin by a lesser baby mother but fuck it
we played each other like puppets, swearin you got pull
when the only pull you got is the wool over your
Gettin knowledge in jail a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for God, you see besides the smog
is broken dreams flying away on the wings of the
Thoughts that put in the air
Places where you could get over a glare
But is fair
a paradox we call reality
So keepin it real will you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers Naturally like, Mickey and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped like an NBA
cats be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is shakin you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn, need to be planted
I'm asking if y'all me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood pressure boiled and rose, New York niggaz
spoiled at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I take the L, transfer to the 2, head to the
New York life type trife the Roman state

[Mos Def and
So much on my I just can't recline
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Yo don't the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Sigh before we die like the last leaving

[spanish woman] Escuchela.. respirando ??

Yo...on The Amen, Corner I stood lookin at my former
Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my friend was for good
Threw dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't it
Mixin down emotions, struggle I mastered
I coreograph seven steps to
And hell, waiting to and make the bread leavened
Veteran of a cold war Chica-I-go for
What I know or, what's
So some days I take the bus home, to touch home
the crib I spend months gone
Sat by the window with a clutched dome to shorties cuss long
Young girls with weak minds, but they butt
Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord, but didn't a touch-tone
It's a dog-eat-dog world, you mush on
Some of land I must own
Outta the city, they want us
Tearin the 'jects creatin plush homes
My circumstance is between and Love Jones
by hate, yet I love home
Ask my God how he thought travellin the sound
Found it hard to he hadn't been past downtown
It's deep, I heard the city breathe in its
Of reality I touch, but for me hard to keep
Deep, I my man breathe in his sleep
Of I touch, but for me it's hard to keep

Def and crew]
So much on my I just can't recline
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed retrace the skyline
Yo how the bass out like an ancient mating call
I can't it y'all, I can feel the city breathing
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Kiss the goodbye, I'm on the last train leaving
