Caved In

I can't hold on

I can't hold on

I can't hold on

But I just hold on

I just hold on

Lord, why's everybody's puzzle missing pieces?

Struggling, grinding, greaseless

No rhyme or reason in sight

I'm seeing the pain off in their eyes

I'm seeing that often we lie, lost in our cries

I'm seeing impatient parents

Blaming unsuspecting children

I'm seeing inpatients critical

Streets are dead from the killings

I'm like, damn, block's hot, 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 watching 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 we talk about actions on the backend, and hush

I guess most of y'all must listen to Rush

Long as you all good, then everybody under you flushed

Every time I try and help myself

Reaching out and finding no one else

I can't hold on

(Felt like it rained till the roof caved in)

So anytime you feel your soul's in need

Realize you can depend on me

And let's just hold on

(Screamin', "Jesus, save me")

We slipping 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 worldwide like girth, the wise are in dirt

Grandmamas used to bus us to church

Humming hymns

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 visuals

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

You know?

Every time I try and help myself

Reaching out and finding no one else

I can't hold on

(Felt like it rained till the roof caved in)

So anytime you feel your soul's in need

Realize you can depend on me

And let's just hold on

(Screamin', "Jesus, save me")

I can't hold on

I can't hold on

But I just hold on

I just hold on

I just hold on
