For those of you who had problems reading the lyrics below (Bru!) to Black Star's classic joint f/ Common, "Respiration", I have included audio links to this page in three flavors, so you can sing along now if you have a Real Player (and some speakers) on your computer, which you probably do. The original version below only features Mos and most of Talib's verse (how they gon' just cut Common off like that?!), so I suggest you listen to the 1st remix, and then go cop the LP if you don't already have it (which should be like treason or something)The first remix is cool, but the beat feels a bit off, or I could just be more partial to the original I know and love. The second one I haven't heard until today, and it features The Roots' Black Thought instead of Common.
