    I think my favorite part of this entire thing is at 3:55 when Daveed says "Your scars are beauty marks, but don't let 'em define you. Breathe." and someone in the audience like audibly gasps and someone else goes "ohh.". Also at 1:11 when he says "I'm awkward by nature, not by choice" and you can hear a few people in the audience seriously react to that. The audience reactions speak volumes to how much his lyrics mean to so many people. Absolute genius.

      also at 3:55 a that blond lady 2 rows in raises her hands in a pumping motion then claps with excitement of that line. she was absolutely loving those lyrics. i wonder if she later listened to more of his stuff to be just as thrilled with it.

      yo everytime i try n rap something daveed makes im always wondering how he breathes. like what the fuck kinda airflow is getting to him bc it's not on this planet.
      Or maybe it's because he has big ass lungs-

  • @mlrtme88
    @mlrtme88 4 года назад +6

    How is he not HUGE yet? He is the most talented rapper/freestyler I think I’ve ever heard. He said he only took the role in Hamilton because he (winkingly) asked Lin “will I get paid?” and he nailed both parts. 9 outta 10 lists of “Best actors in Hamilton” have him #1. So I guess I’m saying it’s been 4 years and other than a part in Black-ish, “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?” (Uhh France?) Diggs is the best!

    • @Elparker28

      He is in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and the lead in Snowpiercer plus he wrote (or co-wrote) Blindspotting. He’s still making music with Clpping and he’s going to be in The Little Mermaid. He seems pretty busy to me 😅🤩

    Trying to get the lyrics right, any suggestions?
    Breathe, let it out
    Breathe, let it out
    Breathe, let it out
    I’m awkward by nature, not by choice
    At times it feels dangerous, to use my voice
    In a room full of strangers speaking can feel poisonous
    Lungs too collapsible, can’t be too boisterous
    Why pay attention, when they mistake tension for poise?
    Breathe, let it out
    Breathe, let it out
    Breathe, let it out
    And with it every? feelin? that makes a shadow of doubt
    Breath is a blessing, you do it from the moment you bounce up?
    Breathe baby, Breathe baby, Scream baby, Shout baby,
    Dance cuz your able to make the ceiling the table, your inhibition a fable
    My love, time for the cradle to rock
    Breath is more than you clock that is ticking
    moments clock consistently tocking
    until the second you stop, stop, stop.
    Breathe.Let it out.
    Breathe.Let it out.
    Inhale, exhale, that weight don’t make sense
    All it entails is living so why we so intense
    We in rarified air
    We making it too dense
    Let the breath be the way we move body and mind past
    A statement of purpose let every breath be an opus
    And open to overture owed to the obvious
    Who would be anybody in motion
    please keep the body in motion,
    embodying motion,
    we bottle emotion
    Too often you sang oh cry me an ocean
    But, this song is ?delicious? cause it treats the wounds
    You got scars
    I got scars too
    The tissue will make us hard, the tears wash us anew
    We are harder than doubt had bargained with,
    been battling with the truth
    We put bars on the windows to keep us off the roof
    Same bars in a kid room so they don’t pop the rules
    Same bars that I’m spittin in hopes it’ll make us move
    And remove the bars that are blinders so we don’t see what we do, what you do
    Oh don’t drop the sign
    then bring to the face
    the smoke to the lung
    The facts of a race great
    That’s yet to be run
    We can start any day why we are waitin for the gun
    We can borrow our way back to the place where the drums claps
    The space that drums last
    Mistakes that become gravity
    Wait for the worlds purpose
    It’s pulling us all
    Ain’t it better to jump baby
    than to wait for the fall
    If you go down swinging
    they singing, the pallbearers
    The Marshall
    will bring all the beads out
    and March with me
    that’s as tight as it go with the flow
    yet the puppet is coming
    so you might as well blow
    A hundred miles of running
    and don’t nobody know
    there’s nobody that likes trying to swallow you whole
    Push it backPush it back
    Go
    push it back
    Let the sweat from your back be the water for your action
    Push it backPush it back
    Go
    push it back
    Ain’t nobody pushing on you but you know I got your back
    Push it backPush it back
    Go
    push it back
    Let the sweat from your back be the water for your action

    Push it back, Push it back
    Go ahead
    push it back
    Let the sweat from your back be the water for your action
    You got scars, I got scars too
    You got scars, I got scars too
    You got scars, I got scars too
    The tissue will make us hard, the tears wash us anew
    We are harder than doubt had bargained,
    been battling with the truth
    Your scars are beauty marks but don’t let em define you
    Breathe, Let it out
    Breathe, Let it out Breathe

    My grandmother died from pulmonary fibrosis going on seven seven years this September. I never knew that that had a foundation for it and it brings tears to my eyes that they are trying b to raise awareness to this. It also makes me love Daveed more knowing the fact that he performed for this organization and wrote a song dealing with around this illness. Even though my grandmother probably wouldn't understand a word he was saying, she would surely enjoy this. Thank you for uploading a video that hit home with me.

    Lyrics. Here's what I got after amplifying the audio and listening with earbuds. (Shout out to Lisa P; I used your lyrics as a template.)
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe...Let it out
    I’m awkward by nature, not by choice
    At times it feels dangerous to use my voice
    In a room full of strangers speaking can feel poisonous
    Lungs too collapsible, can’t be too boisterous
    Why pay attention when they mistake tension for poise?
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe...Let it out
    And with it, every feeling that makes a shadow of doubt
    Breath is a blessing, you chew/view? it, you hold it in your mouth so*
    Breathe baby, breathe baby
    Scream baby, shout baby
    Dance cause you’re able to make the ceiling a table
    Your inhibition a fable
    My love, time for the cradle to rock
    Presses more than you talking
    It's ticking moments, the clock
    Consistently tocking until the second it stops
    Don't stop
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe...Let it out
    Inhale, exhale
    Now waiting don’t make sense
    All it entails is living so why are we so tense?
    We in rarefied air
    We making it tubeless
    Let the breath be the way we move body and mind best
    A statement of purpose let every breath be an opus
    And open to overture owed to the obvious
    Who could be anybody in motion
    Please keep the body in motion
    Embodying motion
    We bottle emotions
    Too often we sing, "Oh, cry me an ocean"
    The salt is delicious
    Plus, it cleans the wounds
    You got scars? I got scars, too
    Tissue will make us hard, tears wash us anew
    We are harder than doubt had bargained
    We're battling with the truth
    We put bars on the windows to keep us off of the roof*
    Same bars that a kid post 'cause they don’t follow the rules*
    Same bars that I’m spittin' in hopes it’ll make us move
    And remove the bars that are blinders so we don’t see what we doing
    We doing the most
    Don't thrive in the sun*
    The drink to the face
    The smoke to the lung
    The fact of a race waiting that’s yet to be run
    We can start decaying, why are we waitin for the gun?
    We can barter/burrow? our way back to the place where the drum claps*
    The space that drums lapse
    Mistakes that become gravity
    Waiting for the world's purpose and it’s pulling us all*
    Ain’t it better to jump baby than wait for the fall?
    If you go down swinging, they'll send in the pallbearers
    Don't ____ shout*
    We'll bring all the beads out and march the Main*
    Bounce as tight as it go, where'd it go?*
    Yet, the puppet is coming, so you might as well blow
    A hundred miles of running and don’t nobody know
    There’s nobody that likes trying to swallow you whole
    Now, push it back
    Push it back
    Go 'head
    Push it back
    Let the sweat from your back be the water for your action
    Push it back
    Push it back
    Go 'head
    Push it back
    Ain’t nobody pushing for you but you know I got your back
    Now, push it back
    Push it back
    Go 'head
    Push it back
    Let the sweat from your back be the water for your action

    Push it back, Push it back
    Go 'head
    Push it back
    Let the sweat from your back be the water for your action
    Look. You got scars?
    I got scars, too
    You got scars? I got scars, too
    You got scars? I got scars, too
    The tissue will make us hard
    The tears wash us anew
    We are harder than doubt had bargained,
    We're battling with the truth
    Your scars are beauty marks, but don’t let 'em define you
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe...Let it out
    Breathe
