I risk-take And I still don't miss mate Became a rubble baby when life done blitzkrieg I don't have the answer for every problem in life An inspired mind is one cuz that's how we find ways To fix the problems of our youth Let's get right down to the roots We can't go on platforms and not speak the truth We don't wanna hang but the system tied our noose Black-on-black crime is the biggest lie that's told by the news Same school of life but different classes We're all different so no need to run the race the fastest God gave me a vision man there ain't no need for glasses I work a nine to five, care for mumzy, and still find time to be an artist You can't tell me about grafting For years I couldn't eat you could say I spent those years fasting And now it's peak I ain't even at my peak when I sleep I have dreams of performing every week Man it's deep Okay you rap man I talked bro out of revenge when he got stabbed man Why do we always stab man Talking is seen as weak and wrong actions get applause Funny how that gassing is why he's on the floor, lifeless He ain't breathing and another yutes doing life We need to free our minds a caged bird won't fly even if it's free I look at my marjay with glee like Like I do this for you and me Cuz I think we came a long way I remember when there weren't any food on my plate Had to split a meal for two like four different ways Praying asking when's it gonna change Praying for those sunny days Man I'm tired of the rain Man I'm tired of this pain Gave my all till there weren't any blood in my veins To my fam I donate and our burdens rotate Came from the ground I'm grounded, it ain't where i wanna stay Holding Holding Holding Holding me down And when I feel alone Lord I know you're always Holding Holding Holding Holding me down And when life gets rough God I know you're always Holding Holding Holding Holding me down 'Cuz you stayed by my side so I know you're always Holding Holding Holding Holding me down I tried so hard It almost killed me So I rested And you restored me Your Grace came And it adorned me We had nothing Whipping up corned beef What I'm living now is thoughts that have once been Because of what He did yeah I'm steady living free Because of Jesus, I went from pauper to king Now I know the bad times are much shorter than they seem Look, I stay beating the odds The only constant in my life has been God And that's why I built my house on the rock The one who stayed by my side even when I fell off The one whose name I hold high regardless of what it costs Man this ain't lip service The way I write these verses I can really flip sermons Me and the team we been working Man that's family Francetta I hope that you're proud of me A note to self I write these thoughts down so maniacally Yeah, I hope she's proud of me I kept on walking seeing through what He's got planned for me In a better place looking from the canopy I'm with my team my close circle they ain't doubting me Yeah, even though it gets hard Life taught me to always stay on guard Didn't know if I would heal or fall off But I find my assurance when I look up at the stars I know He's Holding Holding Holding Holding me down When I feel alone Lord I know you're always Holding Holding Holding Holding me down And when life gets rough God I know you're always Holding Holding Holding Holding me down 'Cuz you stayed by my side so I know you're always Holding Holding Holding Holding me down And I know that you'll never leave, yeah
