Holdin' On
I'm walkin' on my two feet
Headphones on
So you know I'm bumpin' Souls of Mischief or Mobb Deep
I could tell you I'm from the streets
But I ain't tryna sound like your typical Hip-Hop repeat
I'm bringing back the '90s classics
Lettin' the record scratch
Feelin' the bass slap
Watchin' the ink splash
Compressin' my syllables
Makin' my words smash, 'cause I be about that
Throw me in the flames
I been a couple times & I overcame
I'm pavin' my lane
Ready to leave my stain, my legacy on this game
With (C-I-S-C-O) right on top
Life ain't about handouts, so I'm carvin' my spot
Y'all shufflin' through music, like y'all playin' the slots
But my cadence be one in a million, y'all listenin' to a jackpot
We all playin' this game called life
Each and every one of us figuring how to do it right
But if you only lookin' for Bentley's and Range Rovers
It's sad to say, it's already game over
Growin' up Hispanic, life ain't give us lemons
We grew them in the back, member picking 'em when I was seven
So I sip my own juice, sippin' on some lemonade
I picked myself up, now I'm headed for the game, word
I wake up to the mornin' Star
And think about things that I've seen so far
I've seen some homies win & I've seen some fall
But a lifestyle surrounded by negativity is one that's truly flawed
Or so I've read
I picked up a couple books
'Cause my mind was more entertained by pages than by the bread
And knowledge is Forever
As long as you pass it down
Even after you dead
You see, I ain't come here to become a celebrity
I came here using a gift that's been given me
Got my soul shinin' when I rap, got me feelin' infinity
I'm livin' each day
Savin' the memories made
Leavin' a bookmark on the page
Lookin' back at it sometimes
But I know I'm already well on my way
Word up
