Hold On Remix

[Verse 1: Retrok1dd] I Realized It At A Young Age Was A Little Kid Just Got Into The Game I Knew My Mental Was My Key To Success And Fame And I Used That Advantage To Spread My Name. Around The World So One Day I Could Achieve My Goal Of Being Able To Tour Around Performing Shows So One Day In My Future I Already Know That I’m Gonna Be The Man Described In This Song So If You Just Hold On Imma Be With You Dog And We Gone Ride Together Till The End Of This Song. We Have Made It Through Our Journey Our Journey’s Been So Long But We Have Fought Through The End We’ve Righted Our Wrongs. We Made It Through The BattleField No One But Us We Fought For Each Others Lives In Each Other We Trust Now We Live On In Hope We’ll Always Devote Our Lives To This Hip Hop Game Just To Stay Afloat [Verse 2: Rico Devore] I told my Mother hold on Told my Grandmother the same thing Told my teenage sister to hold back on adult life until you secured that Wedding ring Not to imply that her self-worth and a man's love equate to the same thing I told my brother guy hold on for that Football scholarship But if you haven't secured that liberating education I don't care who you ballin' with I told Tyler and Jordan, no matter what, hold on we're coming Nothing was the same since you were taken, except this eternal loving Faith in mankind, I'm trying to make the entire world my brethren Preaching to the people like I'm a mother fucking reverend Told my Wolf Clan : Cherokee tribe, hold on this is still our land Redskin, Blackface, Andy Blueman Our communities and music seem to be all that we have Systematic White Supremacy making it all that we had Told the identity politic, hold on Revolution is a continuous struggle, so move on Women's empowerment and equality for the LGBTQ constituency Seems to be the Great mystery In this false oligarchic democracy I guess, that's what we call demagoguery I guess, Obama's campaign for change was a mockery And since I told Child protective services to leave my mother alone; I guess I have the state stalking me Just trying to be the next Black President utilizing my intellect logically; the philosophical prodigy; fuck a law degree All Eyez on Me, so acknowledge please That I may be highly intelligent but I don't have all the answers, see? Caught in the process of trying to treat womyn with more care and respect Now I am realizing that these woman problems are a product of these Mother issues suffocating my neck I have all this weight on my shoulders and I haven't cashed my first check Putting things in the past, is metaphorical for cutting me down from the tree So, once again I can breathe, for the mistakes in the grave, we may weep Polar vortex in the East, but I'm feeling the heat Trying to learn how to be a better lover, friend, and companion; not just trying to get some Sex It's hard to see clearly when you're constantly looking through broken specs But I refuse to turn away from the Black and Brown bodies burning from these tecs I told these niggas hold on, but the way the world is looking there might be nothing left So, I use this poetry to confess And use my art to reflect
