| 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... | |
