I can’t hold on
I can’t hold on
But I just hold on
I just hold on
Verse: 1 [Deacon]
Lord why’s everybody’s puzzle missing pieces
struggling, grinding, greaseless, no rhyme or reason in sight
I’m seeing the pain off their eyes
I’m seeing that often we lie, lost in our cries
I’m seeing, impatient parents blaming unsuspecting children
I’m seeing in patients, critical, streets are dead from the killings
I’m like damn, block’s hot but not from the ozone
through cameras cops watch these lil boys hold chrome
stuck, teenagers, foxes and pups
on blocks, rocks in they Chucks, choppers watchin above
they need love, not snug cuffs, federally fucked
tis all an orchestration Hans Zimmer couldn’t conduct
but what do we do? most problems done been discussed
but talk about actions on the backend and hush
I guess most of yall must listen to Rush
long as you all good then everybody under you flush
Hook
Everytime I try and help myself
reaching out and finding no one else
I can’t hold on
So anytime you feel your soul’s in need
realize you can depend on me
and let’s just hold on
Verse: 2 [Deacon]
We slippin far under the ghoul yard
in grim tombs we some dim stars, batteries full barred
at birth, but it’s hard to stay charged on earth
cause world wide like girth the wise are in dirt
grandmamas used to bus us to church, humming hymms
stretch out a fat meal on the table from something slim
now we starving, faith on the back of a carton
to find it, follow tracks down arms and boulevards in the South
park, watch as mouth art paints audio visials, call it rhythmical miracles
and parts what your eyes red see
throwing change ups in your medley through headpiece
still Judge, but don’t Dredd each day, instead feast
life’s an unfed beast that eats bread and meat
that’s, either your cash or your corpse
so i just pray that the Lord helps me last through these wars, ya know?
