While you inhale the weed And it won't stop till they inhale ya seed And it don't stop I tell em' to breathe Like a doctor with a stethoscope I don't see no fucking hope Unless these motherfuckers breathe! Yeah, Brooklyn gotta Uptown gotta The Bronx gotta Queens gotta Staten Isle gotta You niggas gotta You bitches gotta Everybody breathe! One and then the two Two and then the three Three and then the four Then you gotta, breathe! Then you gotta, Then you gotta, Breathe!
