Hold On

(Intro)

Armani this shit stewie boy

Aye, according to the Bible

Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Jeremiah 17:9 states

The heart is deceitful and no one truly knows it

Ain't that crazy

I just, pray that God, protect me from these, devilish antics

Amen

(Verse 1)

Even though I'm still fighting, bet I beat the odds

The problems that the devil throw at me, I leave to God

For being real nowadays, you don't get no applaud

This life a scam, they show more love to the frauds

I've been working on myself, but it been hard to manage

I got resentment deep inside from this family damage

The wounds deep, you can't even heal them with a bandage

I wanna get up out this state without carrying baggage

I miss my niggas dead and gone, who resting in peace

Is it heaven, is it hell, is it permanent sleep?

And I can't hang with whoever ain't loyal to me

So if you stab me in my back, to me you deceased

Jail time left me corrupted, the way they conducted

I hit my cell and I adjusted, my mind it erupted

Imagine being a bossman, now you getting instructed

And ones who supposed to be there, I could tell you they wasn't

I've been running out of love, so I'm closing shop

Before they help a nigga grow, they ah watch me rot

And I've been doing more for others, but that's gone stop

Cause when I turn and look around, I'm all I got

(Chorus)

And I act fine deep down inside, I know I ain't

And I stay strong, hold on this grip, oh God, I can't

And they don't know my tolerance, I'm full of pain

And all I know through this fake shit, real I remain

(Verse 2)

Cause all I know is treachery, shooters out my section, they gon' step for me

We heavily invested in a weaponry, I got it next to me

Don't touch the murder weapon, it got leprosy

Devil want my destiny, this life gon' be the death of me

I catch another felony, that's life without the possibility

I'd rather take a life, that's double jeopardy

I'm praying for protection from my friends, not my enemies

The envy from my inner circle might just be the end of me

I'm trying to leave a legacy, with everything that's left of me

On everything, we hit his ass with everything, allegedly

I swear it felt like hell when I was in that penitentiary

You might as well be in jail, all that jealousy

Paco, I miss you

I wish you was here by my side

Cookie was sick, and I swear that I was there by her side

I swear to God, sis, mama was there when you died

I can't lie, bruh these rhymes bringin' tears to my eyes

Rockin' for sure, yeah the devil put a lock on the door

God opened doors, blessings dropped, and jaws dropped to the floor

Get yo shit together though

Aye, them demons took years from my life

I just pray to have the years with my daughter restored

(Chorus)

And I act fine deep down inside, I know I ain't

And I stay strong, hold on this grip, oh God, I can't

And they don't know my tolerance, I'm full of pain

And all I know through this fake shit, real I remain

(Outro)

All I know through this fake shit real I

All I know
