I'll keep, holding on | |
I'll keep, holding on! | |
[lord jamar] | |
Young black male, twenty-five years of age | |
Many-a-lives didn't survive to this stage | |
Cause the rage of another brother got him popped | |
Shot him and he dropped, like a beanbag | |
Mean motherfucker with a rag and some jeans that sag | |
They signify your death by crossin out your tag | |
Then they go and brag that they took another life | |
Never to think, do a brother got a mother and a wife? | |
Trife when a nigga do the work of the klan | |
That's what you're doin when you ruin the life of a black man | |
Attack plan on self | |
The man's got the family jewels, so i guess we're buryin wealth | |
All because we've been taught to despise what's black | |
Open your eyes you oughta realize the fact | |
That you've been gettin used like a trick | |
You think you're mighty, but yo, whitey got your head sick | |
See you were fed thick pieces of swine as a baby | |
It only help to drive your mind crazy | |
Now your blind days be over | |
No more standin on line, tryin to find jehovah | |
Let us rewind to a time we was right and just | |
Nowadays we just fight and bust | |
One another in the back over crack, a carjack | |
Will get you killed, watch the blood get spilled | |
To the scale, then watch how fast they build the jail | |
Now they got you holdin on to a cell, well... | |
[starr] | |
I'll keep, holdin on | |
I'll keep, holdin on!! | |
I'll keep, holdin on | |
I'll keep, holdin on!! | |
[sadat x] | |
Why it gotta be me b? i just came to chill | |
Came to see the flicks, nuttin more nuttin less | |
Try to show love even on a bad day | |
I roll up, i'm never hold up, the l is swoll up | |
The beef in the mind is definitely a winner | |
Oh that's that rappin nigga, i thought he was much bigger | |
Do you know this girl named nah b i don't know nothin | |
Did that name-game shit right from the go get | |
Shorty want an autograph, can i sign it at the end | |
Oh i think i'm all of that now, so now it's fuck brand nubian | |
Should i call you a bitch, or should i maintain? | |
I'm just here with my lady, and you came witcha man | |
This would force him to front, and i'm sure he don't want it | |
Over some old bullshit, when i'm quick to pull shit | |
Live dad, everything is everything | |
I got a lotta shit to do i can't afford to catch a charge | |
I'm a product of the streets, and i couldn't make no peace | |
All the real hard shit i know, is on the down low | |
Straight for real estate, on a scale i place your fate | |
Now i'ma let you skate, you was a little weeded | |
And i seen you don't need it | |
So hold on with your bad self... | |
[starr] | |
I'll keep, holdin on | |
I'll keep, holdin on!! | |
I gotta hold on! | |
I'll keep, holdin on | |
My word is bond, i gotta be strong | |
I'll keep, holdin on!! | |
And keep holdin on, yeah | |
Ya see life's gettin rough but i gotta hold on | |
All these little suckers want me alone | |

Ya see life's gettin rough but i gotta hold on | |
All these little suckers want me alone | |
