lyrics

Sometimes a brother gotta chill out
Have a seat, have a feast, where we can all pig out
Get drunk or stay sober as long as I’m close ta
My folks my fams just know that I’ll hold ya
Down cause ya man gotta hang like a posta
You ain’t gotta ask grab glass we gon toast ta
Another year passed recognize hustle
Recognize work recognize struggle
No we can’t burn out let that sunshine touch you
Wash away the stress let that love just run through
Your soul and your body cause we love to party
But not all the time cause the grind don’t stop see
Its all connected, the stress from the hectic
But yo don’t forget it, the struggle is collective
You ain’t gotta feel all alone like you friendless
Cause unity is the beat that we’ll gon step with

1-2 Everybody Step
Now 3-4 Take a deep breath
And 5-6 Exhale gently
7-8 Feel a little less heavy


You ain’t gotta live your life like every second fight
At one point a brother out here gotta sleep
Gotta recharge and rest ease off ya step
Take a moment to just meditate and breath
Cause if its everyday you bleed, eventually you die
Cause that tank runs empty, that water runs dry
Them limbs get tired, you getting heavy eyes
You lose that fire, that spark, that stride
It all about balance, the self and the movement
Everyday challenge, health and improvement
And so I remind you to take some time to
Relax and let ya unwind
Reflect on your progress, your growth and process
Settle like cool glass of wine
Cause sometimes its ugly but please just trust me
Everything is gonna be fine

1-2 Everybody Step
Now 3-4 Take a deep breath
And 5-6 Exhale gently
7-8 Feel a little less heavy

This is for my people people people my people
Understand that sometimes we all need to
Take a breath, one moment it don’t mean you quit
Recenter, recollect, spend time with your kids
Catch up on sleep, grab something to eat
Make sure that your body ain’t sick
Cause you don’t work til you die, you work so we live
Yeah, you already know what it is

1-2 Everybody Step
Now 3-4 Take a deep breath
And 5-6 Exhale gently
7-8 Feel a little less heavy
