Recess

Built around Missing the simplicity of childhood recess when life was just play - wishing for that freedom again. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through trap that rewards repeat listens. "Remember when the bell rang at eleven fifteen" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs nostalgic, bittersweet. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] Remember when the bell rang at eleven fifteen And the whole world opened up like a dream Forty-five minutes of absolute freedom The only kingdom where we didn't need a reason To run, to laugh, to fall and get back up To trade our snacks and fill each other's cups With juice boxes and stories, wild and free Recess was the best version of me No deadlines, no bills, no broken hearts Just kickball games and running starts Tag, you're it, and the world was small enough To hold in your hand, that was enough [chorus] I miss recess, give me back those days When the only stress was who got to play I miss recess, forty-five of peace Before the world got heavy, we were released I miss recess, the bell is what I need A pause from all the adult greed I miss recess, can we go back To the monkey bars and the snack pack [verse 2] Grown-up life is just a longer school day Without the recess, without the play We work through lunch, we skip the break Wonder why our bodies and our spirits ache If I could tell my younger self one thing I'd say enjoy the swings, enjoy the spring Of your legs pushing off the ground so high Because one day you'll forget how to fly The jungle gym prepared us for the climb But it didn't warn us about the time That steals our joy and replaces it with stress I'd give anything for one more recess [chorus] I miss recess, give me back those days When the only stress was who got to play I miss recess, forty-five of peace Before the world got heavy, we were released I miss recess, the bell is what I need A pause from all the adult greed I miss recess, can we go back To the monkey bars and the snack pack [bridge] Maybe recess isn't just for kids Maybe we all need to flip the lid On the box that says you can't play anymore Open the door and run like before [verse 3] So this Saturday I went to the park Sat on a swing before it got dark Pushed off the ground and closed my eyes For forty-five seconds I touched the sky Felt like a kid again, no stress, no pain Just the wind and the rusty chain Maybe recess lives inside of us still We just forgot the way, but we never lost the will So find your playground, find your bell Give yourself permission to do well At nothing, at playing, at wasting the time Recess is a state of mind [chorus] I miss recess, give me back those days When the only stress was who got to play I miss recess, forty-five of peace Before the world got heavy, we were released I miss recess, the bell is what I need A pause from all the adult greed I miss recess, can we go back To the monkey bars and the snack pack
