From the recording First Flight 101
Paakwesi composed this melodic masterpiece to offer solace and hope to those facing mental health struggles. The lyrics embody the powerful message to simply take a deep breath and keep pushing through.
Can she be honest
and tell you the truth
Can he be vulnerable
Will she be safe.
Will you defend her
When they call her names
They lose their minds
making fun of his brain
She's just afraid
to show her face
Fearful of words
that her own people say
If it has caused
Many to lose their lives
Then we are all in danger
Cos we are all our patron
Support her mental statement
By raising our vibration
To the heavens
By breathing
HA!!
HA!!
Ya just have to breathe
I was afraid
I locked all my success
inside a cage
And I kept feeding
and feeding the rage
Thoughts of revenge,
getting so strong
I could smell on my breath,
taste on my tongue
That's when it hit me
that i need your help
Lend me your ear.
A shoulder for tears
And when i cry out
I'm releasing despair
Feels so unfair
I need catharsis
It got to my head
I need caresses
She’s leaving my bed
Cried like a baby
The day that she left
Cried like a baby
years after he died
Delayed reactions
Waiting to happen
All of this capping
And snapping
And triggers.
I'm not a bad guy
I’m winning a good fight
I'm not a bad guy
I’m winning a good fight
Look in your mirror
Do you see my eyes
Do you see truth
Or are we both telling lies
We all go through something
Some live and some die
We all go through something
Some live and some die
Cos we are all our patron
Support her mental statement
By raising our vibration
To the heavens
By breathing
HA!!
