Hold On
[Intro]
My baby I tell em I'ma hold on


[Verse 1]
Rolling despite the pressures I'm facing
My flesh is a temporal vessel so time is best when not wasted
My purpose is paper, cause without paper my purpose's pertinence
Is purposely subjugated negating my domination
It's a wall I'm facing
It's a wall that ensures there's shackles on the poorest nations
It's a wall that ensures the classes are divided
The flow of cash is decided with silent transactions
Exacted while they ask for compliance
Why is, there violence?
For power and profit, profit and power
And often to silence those who try and
Threaten either, this world is a nest of vipers
Our best intentions discarded we float in the darkness
Gotta move as a shark to be regarded
Hardly a walk in the park
And partly a war for survival
This trial's getting started
I'ma keep my eye on the prize, I'm applying my time
To devising a new life for me n mine I'm starting

[Hook]
Rolling round the city tryna see a way
All this information I assimilate
Let these niggas talk I ain't affiliated
Retaliate, in my heart I know
I won't get a start from the sideline
Take my niggas all when the times right
My baby I tell em I'ma hold on
My baby I tell em I'ma hold on


[Verse 2]
Rose from the most unlikely of places
I ought to be patient
But my desire for a higher station
Is instigating my restless nature
Neglecting these niggas that ain't bout their figures
I figures I'm fucking with failures or winners
But my business, is looking for the money can a nigga get a witness
I was in a city where these niggas flip clips in a stick then grip it on witness
I'm tryna live this life, rather than existing
I, see the way the system tries, to restrict our vision
Why? to restrict ambition
These bitches breed in conditions
Facilitated by the state, they handing em cake
The state of affairs in estates
They taking these breas down the station for selling Charlie n Jane
There ain't no war on these drugs
Boy it's the profit that's made
If they can't pocket no profit from it they're stopping the trade
If I can't pocket no profit from it I'm stopping the game
Stop in your lane, stop all the shit these fuck niggas say
You fossils stay where you lay
My posse pave the way

[Hook]
