Hold Up - MC Eiht[00:00:00]
Written by:Soultre/MC Eiht[00:00:01]
We sending this one out right here[00:00:10]
To all the young thug and young hustlers out there[00:00:13]
You know I'm sayin' grown up with their moms strugglin'[00:00:17]
In the hood yo' I'm sayin' ya know how it is[00:00:19]
Trying to keep it tight you know I'm sayin'[00:00:21]
Geah[00:00:23]
Born and raised a black youth no happy days[00:00:26]
My moms and pops went they separate ways[00:00:29]
Now she solo with half the dough and three kids[00:00:32]
No house a damn tight situation we in[00:00:35]
Hit the streets to look for work and pay[00:00:38]
So her kids can have it better than she had one day[00:00:41]
Try to teach me some rules get A's in school[00:00:44]
Keep your head up high and don't run with the fools[00:00:47]
That was the lesson always listen to moms[00:00:50]
Bible she totin' always quotin' from psalms[00:00:53]
Young but I'm knowin' the right thang to do[00:00:56]
Know the things to say when times is blue[00:00:59]
Times is hard and really unfortunate[00:01:02]
I'm young and I really don't like the shit[00:01:05]
But I dream nice things when I sleep at night[00:01:08]
When I grow up I'll make everything alright[00:01:11]
Sing[00:01:14]
I know it's hard sometimes[00:01:15]
But if you can make a way you need to hold up[00:01:17]
I know a better way[00:01:21]
And if you can wait today it'll be alright[00:01:23]
I know it's hard sometimes[00:01:27]
But if you can make a way you need to hold up[00:01:29]
I know a better way[00:01:33]
And if you can wait today it'll be alright[00:01:35]
Now I'm 15 my life done hit a split screen[00:01:38]
What used to be a good kid struck a bad gene[00:01:41]
Bad dreams young thugs and crime scenes[00:01:44]
Skip school saggin' my jeans and blow green[00:01:48]
My moms don't know where I get the shit from[00:01:50]
If you keep trippin' you know the outcome[00:01:53]
Laid up somewhere or in jail[00:01:56]
Makin' collect calls tryin' to make bail[00:01:59]
Hell and you know how I struggle for the cheddar[00:02:03]
Before I give it away better get it together[00:02:05]
My guilty conscience sayin' not no listen[00:02:08]
The other have tellin' me keep a good intention[00:02:11]
Aw shit a nigga need a mind of his own[00:02:14]
Too much to deal with I really don't feel shit[00:02:17]
Young thug ready to take on the world[00:02:21]
Who made my life take such a twirl[00:02:23]
C'mon[00:02:26]
I know it's hard sometimes[00:02:27]
But if you can make a way you need to hold up[00:02:29]
I know a better way[00:02:33]
And if you can wait today it'll be alright[00:02:35]
I know it's hard sometimes[00:02:39]
But if you can make a way you need to hold up[00:02:41]
I know a better way[00:02:45]
And if you can wait today it'll be alright[00:02:47]
Now my situation's changed no chains remain[00:02:50]
Now I try to check out the game and cause pain[00:02:53]
Long live the days of homeboys and straps[00:02:57]
Gang of tombstones for the ones that caught caps[00:02:59]
Make snaps off raps reminiscin' of days[00:03:02]
Good part is shot up while more bounce plays[00:03:05]
Missin' the days sometimes but keeps my eyes on the future[00:03:08]
Keep my hands on my heat cause niggas might shoot ya[00:03:11]
Rob a nigga blind just like stevie[00:03:15]
I used to do the same when a nigga was greedy[00:03:17]
But my come up was wrong flipped it now it's strong[00:03:20]
Now I clocks snaps keep the street shit in my songs[00:03:23]
Trying to make it up on a stage from doin' a bid[00:03:26]
Trying to make a better way like she did for my kids[00:03:29]
Right now watch out keep my nose to the grind[00:03:32]
Yeah boy this world is mine[00:03:36]
Geah[00:03:38]
I know it's hard sometimes[00:03:39]
But if you can make a way you need to hold up[00:03:41]
I know a better way[00:03:45]
And if you can wait today it'll be alright[00:03:47]
I know it's hard sometimes[00:03:51]
But if you can make a way you need to hold up[00:03:53]
I know a better way[00:03:57]
And if you can wait today it'll be alright[00:03:59]
I know I know I know I know[00:04:03]
I know I know I know oh[00:04:06]
I know I know I know I know[00:04:09]
I know I know I know oh yeah[00:04:11]
I know I know I know I know[00:04:15]

I know I know I know I know[00:04:21]
I know I know I know oh yeah[00:04:23]
