Hold On (Featuring J-Shin)

Gotsta hold on I been trapped for so long

Gotsta hold on I been trapped for so long

Gotsta hold on I been trapped for so long

Gotsta hold on I been trapped for so long

See, see marijuana got me copin' with my problems

And Hennessy  got me hopin' I could solve 'em

My baby mama full of drama tryna scar me

But unlike my old sorry ass father I try harder

My baby raised to hate her daddy

Her mammy playa hate and wishin' that she had me

She hate to see me on the street and still on my feet

Better yet this bitch wish them crackers had me

See everybody wants to hustle

But don't nobody wanna suffer

Nobody wants ya die cuz they all bustas

And suckas

Ain't never gon' have nothin'

Cuz they be frontin'

Gotta sacrifice they time for every dime they be wantin'

And believe me

Being a thug it ain't that easy

I once was a fool but see they had to free me

I'm undercover man

But still they ain't respectin' me

Tryna get the best of me constantly they stressin' me

We gotta hold on (hold on)

See you must be strong (so strong)

With peace love and happiness (gotsta hold on)

You can go wrong (I been trapped for so long)

For all my homies in the hood (gotsta hold on)

What will you do (I been trapped for so long)

Which life will you choose (gotsta hold on)

I been trapped for so long

See big daddy gave her diamond rings

He introduced her to the finer things

Looked out started buyin' her things

Minor things for the small change

And had her off the chain and it's a awful thang

She ain't even cost a thing

Even though I'm thugged out

She loved how I did wrong for so long and still got by

See thug money got blood on it

Plus it leave a residue boy I'm tellin' you I put my hood on it

I lost a homie in the struggle right

And just the other night some brother tried to take my dog's life

Attempted homocide they outside and ain't gon' let 'em ride

Don't wanna talk and ain't gon' let 'em slide

They want war instead

They want more for dead

Rather die open fire or do life for this

Take a life instead

Kill his wife in bed

Ten times to the head what the shooter said?

We gotta hold on (hold on)

See you must be strong (so strong)

With peace love and happiness (gotsta hold on)

For all my homies in the hood (gotsta hold on)

What will you do (I been trapped for so long)

Which life will you choose (gotsta hold on)

See I'm thinkin' bout when I was younger

I used to hustle in the summer

No time for cryin' had to help my mama

And any time and any weather

Whatever's clever and hardly ever never

Had to step and get my shit together

I left my homies in the pen and reason being

See every man got his own sin

But I'm a always remember y'all

Cuz after all y'all still my dogs

And when ya jump we can still ball

My **** Ronnie, Lil Willy and Fat Fred

Big Black, my dog Sparky, and Lil Ed

It be times like this I sit around like this

Cryin' bout this thinking why my clique gotta go and die like this

Do duckin' no fearin' nothin'

Hearin' nothin' stayin' rich but buggin'

We call that thuggin'

But don't be thuggin' for nothin' own something

Do for ya kids and ya mama save the drama

Young **** hold on

We gotta hold on (hold on)

See you must be strong

With peace love and happiness (gotsta hold on)

For all my homies in the hood (gotsta hold on)

What will you do (I been trapped for so long)

Which life will you choose (gotsta hold on)

We gotta hold on

Na it ain't no time for no suicidal shit, ****

While you still thinkin' you a thug

You might as well go ahead and suffer

Cuz that's what we doin'

That's what it's about

But you forgot me
