16 Heartbeats

Yeah, sixteen heartbeats

Listen close, uh

Sixteen heartbeats in a minute when I'm calm

Thirty-two when I'm anxious, sixty-four when something's wrong

Life measured in rhythm, every pulse another song

Conscious of the tempo, trying to play along

Yeah, I count my blessings like I count my breath

Every beat a reminder I ain't met death yet

Sixteen moments of truth in every stretch

Of time that passes while I'm trying to reset

They say slow down, feel your chest rise

But the world moves fast and I'm mesmerized

By the pace, by the race, by the enterprise

Sixteen beats to find myself, to recognize

Sixteen heartbeats, that's my meditation

Sixteen heartbeats, that's my foundation

Sixteen heartbeats, conscious revelation

Feel the rhythm of my soul, no imitation

No cap, yeah

I been living unconscious, autopilot mode

Chasing bags, chasing clout, heavy mental load

But sixteen heartbeats brought me back to the code

Of being present, being real, on this winding road

Every thump in my chest is a second chance

To be aware, to be here, not stuck in a trance

They want us numb, disconnected from the dance

But I'm tuned in now, this my conscious stance

Sixteen beats is all it takes to breathe

To remember why I hustle, what I believe

To feel alive, not just survive and achieve

This that real talk, no need to deceive

Skrrt

Sixteen heartbeats, that's my meditation

Sixteen heartbeats, that's my foundation

Sixteen heartbeats, conscious revelation

Feel the rhythm of my soul, no imitation

Let's go

Sixteen heartbeats, yeah

Stay conscious, stay aware

Feel that rhythm, uh
