Together

Born in carolina mud Out the womb I made a fuss Talked a fool when I cuss Momma made me take the bus Children always picked a fight Held my ground with all my might Rose to be the blackest king Kiss my little pinky ring Trying to make it better Pull myself together Fight right through the pressure Let's hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together Gone for a little while Been working trying to qualify Work these bones day and night Hold my head up to the sky Lost my mind and made it back Told my boss to cut me slack The perquisites are killing me Thought it gave me ecstasy Trying to make it better Pull myself together Fight right through the pressure Let's hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together Hold ourselves together
