Lyrics
Holdin On
bitch I dont got time to move roadblock signs
out of your fucken path, see I hold mine
I dont have to carry shit, this bones not mine
I dont have to burry it, Im so fucken serious
they say Im a bad influence on these kids doc
they say Im the reason their grades drop
Im a good thing for these kids to see
thats the truth between you and me
you know where your commin from you gatta be cool
I can dress like a bum, Im still cooler then you
these intensions always seem to go through my head
you know how it feels to be close to the edge
you wanna jump off, I say you focus instead
on the road thats ahead
just hope for the best, cause you know its a test
your walkin on a tight rope, you cant miss a step
chorus
Im not a child, now I know the struggles of a man
holdin onto life until it fumbles in my hands
till it crumbles into sand
Im jugglin' my plans
he has to get a job and start hustlin some grand
but he can and he wont, its not that he needs a chance
but at a second glance, is he wastin his time
I told you man, that roads not mine
just a mic in my hand, I'll speak my mind
but you gatta understand, I've crossed the line
sometimes, I lost my grip, stumbled and choked
but I'll be remembered for the barriers I broke
of ages and races, seen different faces
seen different places, in god's sweet graces
but if thats not enough, man I just want you to see
there once was a time you were just like me
chorus
who can you trust now-a-days when they holdin back on the truth
every decision they make, they say they did it for you
holdin on when no one gives a fuck who you are
just be proud you've survived it so far
but dont take it too far, it aint over till it fades
one slip up and your the next body thats laid
they said the war is over, but I believe that its back
preserved in the streets where we're all set to attack
all the loves that we've lost, its just hard to think
writtin in tears cause its flowin faster then ink
I've been pushed and kicked, covered in dirt
just because Im suppose to act hard, dont mean it wont hurt
but if I keep it hard, let nobody get close to me
I'll survive this shit, thats the way its suppose to be
the game called Life that Im in
I seem to lose before I begin
