Lyrics:
(Intro)
[Sound of city traffic noise fading out. Deep exhale. Chill beat drops.]
(Spoken, calm)
Hold up.
Freeze.
Take two steps back.
(Verse 1)
[Source: "Bitterness"]
Sweet bitter truths you scream to the world.
No lies come from one's lips.
You speak what comes to mind.
And it explodes out your mouth!
Like something that you cannot hold.
You definitely don't hold back.
(Don't hold back...)
(Chorus)
[Source: "Take a Minute"]
Hold up, hold up. FREEZE.
Take a minute.
The world is constantly rolling.
Times and lives constantly changing.
Can you sleep with too much stress?
(Too much stress)
Pause for a minute.
You gotta FREEZE.
(THE HOOK)

[Rhythmic Chant - Snaps only]
Contemplate.
Relax.
Meditate.
Take two steps back.
(And breathe...)
(Verse 2)

[Bass line walks. Groovy.]
Never had praises for the good that you've done.
Just swats for all the bad.
No set goals. No motivation.
Bitterness escapes my lips.
I need an escape! A change of scenery!
A quick getaway!
(Chorus)
Hold up, hold up. FREEZE.
Take a minute.
Can you sleep with too much stress?
Pause for a minute.
You gotta FREEZE.
(THE HOOK)
[Rhythmic Chant]
Contemplate.
Relax.
Meditate.
Take two steps back.
(Verse 3)
[Source: "Bitterness" + "Take a Minute"]
[Music softens. Intimate.]
I need a quietness.
A time for MEDITATION.
To get in touch with my spiritual side.
Seek help from the One who helps all.
Do things happen for a reason?
The sky is blue and the grass is green.
As they should be.
(Bridge)

[Soulful harmonies.]
Give love to Him who forgives!
Who reaches out to you!
And one day what will escape your lips?
But gentle words...
Gentle words to those in need.
(THE HOOK)
Contemplate.
Relax.
Meditate.
Take two steps back.
(Just breathe...)
(Outro)
[Beat fades slowly]
[Source: "Take a Minute"]
One final word: MEDITATION.
Hold up.
Freeze.
(Spoken) Relax.
(Song ends)
