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
Yeah, yeah, yeahhh!!
Ya see life`s gettin rough but I gotta hold on
All these little suckers want me alone
Yeah, they want me alone
Yeah, yeah yeah
But I gotta hold on
Because my word is bon
And it`s on and on, on and on, on and on
On ya...
I gotta hold on
Yeah yeah yeahhhh yeah yeahhh yeahhh
Ohhhhh yeahh yeahh yeah
Yeahh!
