Luyện nghe bài hát Respiration

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

speaking woman] Escuchela..

[Mos
The new rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of
People was tusslin, arguin and
Gangstaz of Gotham hustlin
I'm wrestlin with words and
My ears is picky, seekin what transmit
the can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the usual is
Tonight alive, let's the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New York the
in metal and fiber optics
where mercenaries is to trade hot stock tips
for profits, criminals take pockets
Hard knuckles on the hands of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No Batman and Robin, tell between
the cops and the robbers, they partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts hardened
My talons STAY sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Shiny
is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You could lose teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot and locked down
Spotlight to savages, averages
My narrative, to explain this existance
Amidst the harbor 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 that
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the breathin
Chest heavin, against the of the evening
Sigh before we die like the train leaving

[Talib
in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty steps
we to new lows, hell froze the night the city slept
The beast through concrete jungles
communicatin with one
And ghetto birds where fall
from the hydrants to the
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 painted by the
with unapplied pressure, cats is playin God
but havin children by a lesser baby mother but it
we against each other like puppets, swearin you got pull
when the only pull you got is the wool over your
Gettin in jail like a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for God, what you see the smog
is dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene
that people 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 make you casualty of abnormal
Killers Born like, Mickey and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you like an NBA salary
Some be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
to be a spiritual being when shit is shakin what you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need to be
I'm asking if feel me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood pressure and rose, cause New York niggaz
actin 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

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

[spanish speaking woman] Escuchela.. ??

Yo...on The Amen, Corner I stood at my former hood
Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my friend was gone for
Threw on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered
I seven steps to heaven
And hell, to exhale and make the bread leavened
of a cold war It's 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 listenin to shorties long
Young girls weak minds, but they butt strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord, but didn't have a
a dog-eat-dog world, you gotta mush on
Some of this land I own
the city, they want us gone
Tearin the 'jects creatin plush homes
My is between Cabrini and Love Jones
Surrounded by hate, yet I love
Ask my God how he thought the world sound
Found it hard to imagine he been past downtown
It's deep, I heard the breathe in its sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me hard to keep
Deep, I heard my man breathe in his
Of reality I touch, but for me it's to keep

So much on my mind I can't recline
Blastin holes in the til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors bright stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Yo how the ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Kiss the Ide's goodbye, I'm on the last leaving
