Zakiah - The Wind Lyrics

Yeah
Turn up the interface just a little bit
Thank you
Knocking the wind right out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Yeah, I got the wind knocked out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Just woke up, but I ain't rested
I'm the light in the dark, can't turn it off no question
I've been tasked with a perilous plight
To ignite up the souls of the ones who will fight
Take your fear and cast it into the night
Twenty twenty vision, sharing the truth with the world is my mission
I ain't gon' stop till I'm dead and gone, listen
Lately I been hit or miss, think I should ask for some help but
Just won't admit I need it
No end in sight, falling back in a ditch
And the only way that I'll get out
Is to switch up the way I've been approaching this
Promise I ain't gonna sit on the fence
Things just ain't been the same since
Devil tryna kill my mind with suspense, yeah he acting relentless
Time is expensive, can't go another day thinking that my life is ending
Tending to open wounds I neglected
Got a tattoo as a message, that I would never let another leave a scar that I'll regret
Know we gon' pull through, it's a test
Keeping my head in the game, heart on the line
And my pen filled with depth
Not one to settle for less than the things I've been blessed with, born and raised to direct
Used to be my main directive, now I'm the CEO of Anomaly Records
World on my shoulders, tends to leave me breathless
But I would bet that you ain't gonna count me out yet
Coming back with a vengeance, what'd you expect?
Knocking the wind right out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Yeah, I got the wind knocked out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Love lost, lessons learned
It's a difficult thing letting bridges burn
Best believe that you earned it
Started moving with discernment
Had to x out all the people who weren't up to par, it hurt
But I know that in the end it'll be worth it
Turned the energy around, and repurpose all of that negativity to birth
First of my kind, I ain't second or third
So many people say that I'm absurd
Always knew that one day I'd be heard by the masses
In fact I had my favorite artist tell me that it'd happen
That ain't cap to your dissatisfaction
I'm hitting the sideline like I'm Alex Mattison
Mastered every action that I'm practicing
Now I'm right where I need to be
Crafting my own way, off the strength of my own name
Give it to God, I can't deal with my own shame
Only human, no I cannot control things
Outside of game I was given to go claim
My part of fame, but for now I'm a no name
Anonymity's a blessing, I proclaim
Go to battle with nothing but war paint
And the team that I was gifted with
We a fasho thang
Check the ranks, any day we gon' blow
Straight, off our music cause we cracked the code
Safes, not the way that we played it
Had to destroy restraints, deal with the hating
Now we keep racing against ourselves patient & calculated
This what I'm advocating
Knock my wind out, won't keep me making these songs so just face it
I've been waiting
While you all complaining
Passive aggressive statements, through it all
I know I'm the greatest
But the worlds tryna tell me I'm basic
Like you think you could measure my greatness
And yet somehow I'm gracious
Used to wish this was painless
Now I know what this pain is
Just another way I can keep growing
Regardless of heinous motivations that are straining
My aspirations, I won't take it
Yeah I'm all in and I ain't no flake
This is fate
Won't conceal this, I'm moving by faith
Give my all, before I fall
Promise I'm gon' create bliss
Just a message for those who will take it
One day you gon' play this
This is more than a way to be famous
Knocking the wind right out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Yeah
I got the wind knocked out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Wind right out of me

Yeah
Turn up the interface just a little bit
Thank you
Knocking the wind right out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
Yeah, I got the wind knocked out of me
You've been knocking the wind right out of me
