Breathebaby

*Solo tempo female slow almost 'rap'* Sittin' here just thinkin- Lots of thoughts *kinda chuckle/sly smile*-bettween the pain I feel all over that radiates all through my veins To the mental anguish my imagination sometimes can create. It's all a wonder, why most turn to drinkin It's all this....stupid thinkin.... It all takes a huge toll Breathe-- oooh breathe.... On all of my whole being- yes it takes a part my very soul... To keep on--- keep on continuin-- Without everyone seein The disaster that lies inside, just under my skin-- *Male starts 'rappin'* Each only see the brave face And few see the underlying battle that lyes within..... *Duet harmonious, male & female* All know the end comes around for us all When it's our turn and times been called *Male only- 'rappin'* Ain't no getting that currency returned infact-no- that cents don't exist-make sense? I don't understand--- how anyone---can point and judge and redicule as if they're so much better or the acceptance to this rule? *Female pickes tempo up 2 beats- 'rappin'* How, why, and for what reason Gives any of yours the upper hand When we others are silently screaming for just a helping hand? *Male joins, keeps same tempo, 'rappin'. Now harmonious* We've all been there *female breaks off-male keeps tempo rapin'* some have at least twice been down and out and broke All these real people problems man they ain't no joke Breathe---- just breathe *women 2nd soprano* oooh take a breath in goes the good a d blow out the bad Breath baby justtttt breathe---- Soon enough you will clearly see that rainbow Can only be enjoyed after the storm-yeahh the sky don't have to be clear. *Male keeps tempo and raps* Remember this my dear- If nothing else Before you leave this world Make the moments remembered time well spent Cuz' when the bills ready and waiting for you to pay up; you can proudly say, " I have no regrets, the years have all been time well spent" *Ends in duet male/female* So breathe baby *Male* Just--- *Female strong hard solid* B-----
