Time to Relax - Akala

[00:00.22]Time to Relax - Akala
[00:10.92]This ain't a song it's more like a note to self
[00:14.27]A reminder to me that I need balance
[00:16.82]Cause I'm always working plannin' projects and preppin'
[00:19.47]Stressin' over the state of this world and how we affect it
[00:22.29]This is part of the gift the energy that I'm blessed with
[00:25.01]But if you overuse them then you will blunt your own weapons
[00:27.82]How ever much you train muscles only grow when you rest 'em
[00:30.32]Yet I don't make enough time to stop and pause for reflection
[00:33.17]Go and check my mum talk about nothing much
[00:35.87]On a sunny day sit in the park stare at the sun
[00:38.37]Feed the ducks ride a bike shit sit in a tree
[00:41.26]Anything to escape the stress that the city will breed
[00:44.31]Lucky enough that what I love is my living
[00:46.81]I know that that's rare so chillin' just feels like sinnin'
[00:49.37]But it's not take your time you ain't gotta say sorry
[00:52.29]If you're always exhausted you can't help anybody
[00:54.38]Through all the work and the wages bills and the tax
[00:57.62]Through all the stress and the payments and the payments stress
[01:00.47]Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach
[01:03.4]Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts
[01:06.32]We gotta kick back make time to relax
[01:09.06]Gotta kick back make time to relax
[01:11.76]Gotta kick back make time to relax
[01:14.979996]Kick back make time to relax
[01:17.2]You're not paranoid things really are designed
[01:20.35]To offer you absolutely no peace of mind
[01:23.05]Maybe that's the price to be paid
[01:24.58]Cause we're complicit in suffering all over this world that we are living in
[01:28.55]Cars and the clothes everything we consume
[01:30.89]Still painted in the suffering of colourful hues
[01:33.65]So we're tainted by the nothingness of what we'll choose
[01:36.33]But overwhelmed by the lack of change if we refuse
[01:39.07]So we all watch the so called news
[01:41.17]And see their views of a bunch of mass murderers paraded as true
[01:44.93]Enough to turn anything in person to a lunatic
[01:47.78]Maybe that's what we already are cause we are used to it
[01:50.740005]But in the midst of all this
[01:52.0]There's a bliss that you're missing
[01:53.2]Silent moments one that you love quietly kissing
[01:55.94]Staring at the stars realising that ours is just a world among billions of worlds
[01:59.94]That we'll never know
[02:01.01]Through all the work and the wages bills and the tax
[02:03.82]Through all the stress and the payments and the payments stress
[02:06.54]Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach
[02:09.21]Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts
[02:12.73]We gotta kick back make time to relax
[02:15.21]Gotta kick back make time to relax
[02:17.94]Gotta kick back make time to relax
[02:21.20999]Kick back make time to relax
[02:23.68]Just take a moment to breathe is what I'm sayin'
[02:26.03]Breathe deep till the air in your chest is all the way in
[02:29.14]Let it out slowly feel the tension erodin'
[02:31.77]Listen to the music before you compose it
[02:34.74]Just take a moment to breathe and take stock
[02:36.94]You ain't that important wars will not stop if you do not
[02:40.02]But health and longevity depends on balance between yin and yang
[02:43.88]And so far I just haven't
[02:45.67]Made enough time to breathe and just chill
[02:48.36]Keep still
[02:48.86]They ain't lying when they say stress kills
[02:50.83]So breathe before you punch someone in the mouth
[02:53.65]Breathe deep before you push out and tear down the house
[02:56.64]Breathe before you hurt yourself and your health
[02:59.04001]Maybe cliché but it really is our true source of wealth
[03:02.2]Breathe essence of life and of the universe
[03:04.69]We've done it from birth yet we doubt that it really works
[03:07.38]Through all the work and the wages bills and the tax
[03:10.04]Through all the stress and the payments and the payments stress
[03:12.79]Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach
[03:15.43]Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts
[03:18.94]We gotta kick back make time to relax
[03:21.34]Gotta kick back make time to relax
[03:24.18]Gotta kick back make time to relax
[03:27.34]Kick back make time to relax
