Hold On - Goodie Mob[00:00:04]
Look out the sun is out while its raining[00:00:11]
The devils wife must be complaining[00:00:13]
Remember that its brothers work[00:00:15]
Elbows in and up and down the court[00:00:17]
Cause they play ball long after dark at Sykes park[00:00:19]
Smelled the rain before it came[00:00:23]
But that don't stop the game[00:00:24]
Intense inside the twelve feet fence[00:00:26]
Flip the mode back on the road set in[00:00:28]
And watch my woodgrain spin[00:00:30]
I let my window down and let the world in[00:00:32]
Since I was knee high the only thing we[00:00:34]
Had was the peachtree plaza in the sky[00:00:36]
Things ain't the same no more[00:00:38]
Everyday my city seems to grow and grow[00:00:40]
Gotta blow a bed for my back[00:00:43]
Cause I can't take the hardwood floors[00:00:45]
Crooked system had me[00:00:47]
Working in the warehouse[00:00:48]
From 8 to 4 so[00:00:49]
Gipp know what it is to work[00:00:50]
For them foes for a check that don't mean shit[00:00:52]
More bills keep coming in[00:00:55]
But ain't no saving[00:00:56]
Used to scrape up a buck for a box of newports[00:00:58]
But after I found out[00:01:00]
That they was f**king with the tobac I stopped[00:01:02]
Its like killing myself with a glock[00:01:05]
Its rough[00:01:07]
Prices going up people giving in[00:01:08]
To the rockets and hernon homes is known[00:01:10]
By the city to be toxic but ain't nothing said[00:01:12]
Always on the down low never in the mainstream[00:01:15]
It ain't king[00:01:18]
To be the fulltime[00:01:19]
Blow a man these days you get years[00:01:20]
And even though[00:01:23]
My cousin writes me from the pen[00:01:24]
I always think about how we kicked[00:01:26]
It at the Dungeon fo he went in[00:01:27]
What's next [00:01:29]
My slick partner Toby is gone[00:01:30]
Went to handle a little business[00:01:32]
Never made it back home[00:01:34]
I wonder what his girl told his son[00:01:35]
Hold on[00:01:39]
I can't escape the bullshit[00:01:40]
Where ever I go shit[00:01:42]
Always into something cause[00:01:43]
I wanna be rich[00:01:45]
Pulling cards in my blood it seems[00:01:46]
I'm mean cause of my look[00:01:48]
I might blast off on ya ass[00:01:49]
And write another book[00:01:51]
It took too many times in the cage[00:01:52]
Now I'm on the front page looking at myself[00:01:54]
I'm on the run[00:01:57]
Never to be seen by the eyes[00:01:58]
A fugitive[00:02:00]
Plus I got a life to live[00:02:01]
State by state[00:02:02]
Is this just a dream [00:02:03]
Sometimes it seems like it just a figure[00:02:05]
Standing in the mirror from the back[00:02:07]
That's why I'm swinging my axe[00:02:09]
Everytime so I won't miss I can be hit[00:02:11]
Cause I'm touchable[00:02:13]
That's my state of mind[00:02:15]
Cause I know one day you[00:02:16]
Gotta go in a life of crime[00:02:18]
Either the pen or a one way ticket[00:02:20]
So I'm asking what will it be[00:02:22]
Where do I solve[00:02:24]
Nobody knows but me see[00:02:25]
When I was a youth used[00:02:28]
To think I was bulletproof[00:02:29]
Never thought I could be hit[00:02:30]
Ready to stand my turf[00:02:32]
Niggaz can't understand how it work[00:02:33]
What's the plan[00:02:35]
We killing our own people for this bullshit[00:02:36]
Scared straight wanna escape theres[00:02:38]
One way outta this crooked county[00:02:40]
With a bounty[00:02:41]
Coming to get me[00:02:42]
Then I'd be on the run[00:02:43]
Hoping to find a better day[00:02:45]
Without loaded guns in my face[00:02:46]
I'm not the criminal[00:02:48]
F**k your probation[00:02:49]
What's my occupation Selling[00:02:50]
My dubbs on the street[00:02:51]
Cause I gotta eat[00:02:53]
Hold on[00:02:56]
Am I awake or is this just another dream[00:02:58]
I pinch myself invisible bars cover my cage[00:03:01]
Done lost all conception of time[00:03:03]
Trapped in my own mind[00:03:05]
Unaware of the world in front or behind[00:03:07]
Be trying[00:03:09]
To catch up with myself[00:03:10]
Evil doers steady working[00:03:11]
Guest be leaching off of my wealth[00:03:13]
Can't wait for my death[00:03:14]
But got me f**ked up[00:03:15]
Ain't man enough[00:03:17]
Nigga you got false nuts[00:03:18]
Bouncing like rubber balls off the walls[00:03:19]
The life we supposed to be living y'all[00:03:21]
Them crackers got boxed up[00:03:23]
We ain't even the middle men[00:03:25]
But yet free my mind of confusion[00:03:26]
Jehovah witnesses waking me up out my slumber[00:03:29]
Using white rice and[00:03:32]
Stomach aching be still hunger for the[00:03:33]
Taking at the bottom of my barrel[00:03:35]
F**k ass and being nice ain't got me nathan[00:03:38]
But a frown[00:03:40]
Too high to get down[00:03:41]
You don't know me[00:03:43]
And I ain't tryna claim I be knowing you[00:03:44]
But I do understand what you going through[00:03:46]
Seems like you running outta time[00:03:48]
In and out of crime[00:03:50]
And everybody ain't gon be[00:03:51]
Able to rhyme damn [00:03:53]
It must be hard to hold on[00:03:54]
When your faith is gone[00:03:56]
Mmmm tryna make it all alone[00:03:57]
Sometimes you gotta swallow[00:03:59]
Your pride and let the lord decide[00:04:00]
You can't hide from the truth[00:04:03]
I know we've all tried[00:04:04]
And I agree its hard to believe[00:04:05]
In what you can't see[00:04:07]
Well shit nigga what you keep[00:04:09]
Telling me to hold on for I'm stuck in[00:04:10]
The ghetto wit no where to go[00:04:13]
I gotta slang that blow[00:04:15]
You call yourself tryna teach [00:04:17]
Seems like I'm outta reach[00:04:19]
Cause I don't wanna hear another speech[00:04:20]
This is all I know how to[00:04:22]
Get up get out and get[00:04:24]
So f**k that shit[00:04:26]
