Let It Breathe Lyrics – Gunna

[Intro: Gunna]
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Gunna]
Grind, applying pressure on the hard way
Mind over matter when the war came
I was blinded by that light, now I see everything
Don’t mind giving advice, but I can’t sell a dream
Had to take the time and I’ma let it breathe (Oh)

[Verse 1: Gunna]
I’m still waiting on my moment
Give a damn about my opponent
Got some M’s and teleported, I secure my needs
Flying all ‘cross the border, watch me spread my wings
Thankful for my mother and for pops planting the seed
Every time a war start from envious and greed
Every time I rock a show, my fans don’t wanna leave
Working out in boxing mode, we training, we like Creed
We training, we like Creed (Training, we like Creed)
Oh-oh
Pop a few, I’m geeking on shrooms
Call your b!tch, tell her link, she coming through, yeah
I’m healing up, but my insides still bruised
Just hold ten, I’m just starting to get a groove, yeah
Bought some Perc’ tens for my man, I took two (I took two)
These n!ggas real hoes and they talk more than the news
I’m a big dog and these lil’ n!ggas poodles
Chasing big racks, I ain’t worried ’bout who’s who

[Chorus: Gunna]
Grind, applying pressure on the hard way
Mind over matter when the war came
I was blinded by that light, now I see everything
Don’t mind giving advice, but I can’t sell a dream
Had to take the time and I’ma let it breathe (Oh)

[Verse 2: Roddy Ricch]
Lately I’ve been slow to speak, still stay out they reach
Contemplating my sins, I’m pacing, I been losing sleep
The AC blast and my tires all screech
Plotting on grinding, I’ve been curving all the speeds
Still moving on my ‘lone ’cause it’s hard to trust
(Moving on my ‘lone ’cause it’s hard to trust)
I showed you real love
You ain’t have to stab me in my back, it was only us
Fu*k ’em, I went Black Card
Biggest yachty on the dock
Play my role and Maybach
Double-R, I ghost ’em all
Quick to follow protocol
Might get them folks involved
Flirting with promethazine
Sipping had me dozing off
Even though the paper straight
I’ma chase a billion
I remember coming out section 8
Now I got expensive taste
Take your b!tch and levitate her
Just hit the Miami island house
My room got elevator
Ain’t been having time, I’m on my grind
It’s all fate

[Chorus: Gunna, Roddy Ricch]
Grind, applying pressure on the hard way (It’s all fate)
Mind over matter when the war came
I was blinded by that light, now I see everything
Don’t mind giving advice, but I can’t sell a dream
Had to take the time and I’ma let it breathe (Oh)
