With 2nd Wind, i took everything that has bothered me about the last couple of years and made a response to the things going on.
lyrics
I think I may be in, way over my head.. I'm as good as dead, if I don't kill these niggas instead. I got demons all around me, that's strategically placed. And I can’t tell whats even real, Its really testing my faith. I'm on my.. 3rd mile on this 42k, I'm in the best shape I've ever been, I do this all day. And Ima do it my way. They probably think it's cliché, but I will Never leave it for tomorrow, if i can do today.. use to be a good time Charlie, life of the party, they tried Take advantage? and.. Over my dead body. I never trusted a soul, except for my mellow my man. these bitch ass millennials are starting to get out of hand. I drew a line in the sand. It took years for me to build my own brand. these bench warming niggas, don’t need to know my game plan. i mean I’m just only to being honest, to free my mind and keep my promise spend weeks in saint thomas, so I can remain the calmest. For Real..
I think I got my 2nd wind.. Think I got my 2nd.. I think I got my 2nd wind..
They're headhunting, but I'll Never take it on the chin, Let them laugh first, before they realize my 2nd wind. I have a hot hand, cause I hold heat, hell will freeze over before they say I got cold feet. Warrior like Cochise, feel like everybody's so weak, Quinn Essential since Monique, I don't fuck around with no geeks. Y'all ain't reaching no peaks, while I'm hitting the plateau, eating Like fatso, casting my shadow, sitting tall in my saddle, in this uphill battle. I'm the rotten apple that fell and rolled into the gravel, look, Got nothing in common with yall born with sliver spoons, i took a few lumps, all I did was go home and lick my wounds. uh,.. And they know that I'm a genius, I can read their mind, like Jean Gray, i rose like the Phoenix, Niggas is head strong like I don't even know their weakness, but I can destroy without revealing any secrets.. Aww Man..
I think i got my 2nd wind.. uh.. Got my 2nd Wind
Sample: Quotes from Teddy Brathwaite
"I don't like to get bruised.."
"We came up in a tough neighborhood.."
"I made sure i never got caught some place where there wasn't another way out because i don't fool around over there ya know.."
"But i'm not going to let them from stopping me from making money."
"You see if you go look for trouble you'll find it.."
"and they never bothered me after that.."
uh, i hear everything and i hate it, but i don’t need a cosign, from bum that never made it. Maybe I'm just too jaded, but won't take back for what I wrote. ride my wave? we'll never be in the same boat. They say I'm caught up in everything that I'll never be. And wonder why money never grew, on our family tree. won't ask for forgiveness on a bended knee. But Who stood up and ever defended me?..huh? I guess, Ill wait? Y'all are usualuly, one over the eight. And that's exactly what sealed your fate, it's bittersweet, don't love me.. it's too late. uh and Everything was good just last week, innocent as a lamb, mickey's boy is still the black sheep. Unapologetic, the whole family can kiss my ass cheek. You played yourself, to bad none of y'all at athletes
I think I got my 2nd wind.. everybody against Quinn..
