Hold On

I'm feeling fatigued
Preparing for primetime
Trying to find a way without following guidelines
Tired of seeing all this basic shit on my timeline
A lot of niggas fronting but they still on the sideline
Once upon a time we'd pledge
To the red, the white, the blue and the dead
Until we grew up and then we learned the truth
About the black and white, the rope, the noose
The hope, the juice that my people contain
They stealing our style, they not feeling our pain
My brothers our slain in the streets unarmed
While these motherfucking cops walk away unharmed
And these motherfucking thoughts keep me up at night
Can't touch the sky if you afraid of the height
Can't be a beast if you afraid of the hype
Can't expect the feast to come overnight
I told my niggas Ima die if I fail
My nigga Evan living life in a cell
My confidence fell
I think this a new low
I know pain too well so I turn it flows, I blow it to O's
They shooting our clubs
Niggas thinking we deserve it cause of who we love
Shit I'm thinking all of y'all can really kiss my ass
Damn, I really miss my Dad
He moved away far from the A
He lost his son, his Dad, divorcing twice
Lost my Mom as a wife and the love of his life
I told him "never look back and never think twice"
You gotta keep going, don't you ever give up
No matter how hard you fall you still better get up
You never know you're strong til' you're forced to be it
The world is getting crazy and I'm forced to see it

Hold on, hold on
You must go on
You know
You go hard or go home
Hold on, hold on
You must go on

Forreal

My niece is getting older man the time is flying
I'm just tryna make it to the top with Ryan
Tried to call his name but he stopped replying
I'm just tryna keep my fucking Mom from crying
(Yo) I been adulting or just tryna do my best now
I'm dropping heat tryna put the doubts to rest now
I'm feeling like Bruce Wayne, I'm fire like Liu Kang
I'm the fucking best, tat an 'S' on my chest now
And my friends been getting engaged and me?
Feel like I been stuck in a cage or stuck in a rage
A pitch-black motionless stage of feeling enslaved to society's ways
I'm taking my pain, my doubts, I'm packing it up
No more games and droughts, I been stacking it up
I would die for this shit man this music's my lifeline
Damn, I'm just preparing for primetime

Hold on, hold on
You must go on
You know
You go hard or go home
Hold on, hold on
You must go on
(You must go on, yeah)

Hold on, hold on
You been so strong
You don't quite know if you belong
Hold on, hold on
You must go on

(Help me out, Damez)

Hold on, hold on
You been so strong
You don't quite know if you belong
Hold on, hold on
You must go on (Yeah)

Hold on, hold on
I been so strong
Hold on, hold on
I been living my life
