I can't hold on, I can't hold on But I just hold on, I just hold on Lord why's everybody's puzzle missing pieces Struggling, grinding, greaseless No rhyme or reason in sight I'm seeing the pain off their eyes I'm seeing that often we lie, lost in our cries I'm seeing, impatient parents Blaming unsuspecting children I'm seeing in patients, critical Streets are dead from the killings I'm like damn, block's hot, not from the ozone Through camera's cops watch these lil boys hold chrome Stuck, teenagers, foxes and pups On blocks rocks in they chucks, choppers watchin above They need love, not snug cuffs, federally fucked Tis all orchestration Hanz Zimmer couldn't conduct But whattawedo, most problems dun been discussed But talk bout actions on the backend, and hush I guess most of y'all must listen to Rush Long as you all good, then erebody under you flush Every time I try and help myself Reaching out and finding no one else I can't hold on So anytime you feel your soul's in need Realize you can depend on me And let's just hold on We slippin far under the ghoul yard In grim tooms we some dim stars, batteries full barred At birth, but it's hard to stay charged on earth Cause world wide like girth, the wise are in the dirt Grandmama's used to bus us to church Humming hymms Strech out a fat meal on the table from something slim Now we starving, faith on the back of a carton To find it, follow tracks down arms And boulevards in the south, park Watch as mouth art paints audio visuals Call it rhythmical miracles And parts what your eyes red see Throwing change ups in your medley through headpiece Still Judge, but don't Dredd each day, instead feast Life's and unfed beast that eats bread and meat That's, either your cash or your corpse So I just pray that the Lord helps me last through these wars Ya know? Every time I try and help myself Reaching out and finding no one else I can't hold on So anytime you feel your soul's in need Realize you can depend on me And let's just hold on I can't hold on, I can't hold on But I just hold on, I just hold on
