Luyện nghe bài hát Respiration

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

[spanish speaking Escuchela..

Def]
The new rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, arguin and
Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore
I'm wrestlin words and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin what will
the scribes can to transcript, yo
This ain't no where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New the narcotic
Strength in and fiber optics
where mercenaries is paid to trade hot tips
for profits, thirsty criminals take
Hard on the second hands of workin class watches
is collosus, the cost of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No and Robin, can't tell between
the cops and the robbers, they both partners, all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts stay
My eagle STAY sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Apple
is bruised but sweet and if you to eat
You could lose your teeth, many retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got down and locked down
to savages, NASDAQ averages
My narrative, rose to this existance
Amidst the harbor lights remain in the distance

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

Kweli]
Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty
we stoop to new lows, hell the night the city slept
The beast crept through jungles
communicatin with one
And birds where waters fall
from the to the gutters
The beast walk the beats, but the we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to that's painted by the numbers
with unapplied pressure, cats is playin God
but havin children by a lesser mother but fuck it
we played against each other like puppets, swearin you got
when the pull you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail like a in disguise
Look in the skies for God, you see besides the smog
is broken dreams away on the wings of the obscene
that people put in the air
Places where you get murdered over a glare
But everything is
It's a paradox we call
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 cats be emceeing to illustrate we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when is shakin what you believe in
For trees to in Brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
I'm asking if feel me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood pressure boiled and rose, New York niggaz
actin spoiled at shows, to the winners the go
I the L, transfer to the 2, head to the gates
New York life trife the Roman Empire state

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

speaking woman] Escuchela.. respirando ??

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

Def and crew]
So on my mind I just can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Kiss the Ide's goodbye, I'm on the train leaving
