Slum Village - Keep Holding On lyrics

[Intro] Waddup doe Feeling a little under the weather today But I had some stuff to get off my chest, you know Now what I'm about to say to y'all I might had never said to the general public So y'all gotta hear me yo, feel me [Verse 1] I know I might sound like I got a cold and I'm sneezing But I'm grown and I'm breathing, hear the tone in my speaking Both of my parents gone for a reason Daddy's wrong just for leaving mother widowed and I'm grieving Now spirits above the stones and the demons She belongs in the teaching where there's a throne in the kingdom And deep inside my bones I'm believing that my poems that I'm reading is the songs to my freedom But life can be known as deceiving, what I'm shown isn't pleasing Makes me wanna throw stones at a deacon in his home when he preaching See that's Satan making my heart cold as a breeze till it's frozen from freezing Gotta get right, I might not make it over this evening Cause your time period is shorter than breath going from wheezing Heard my n***a Tone, he was bleeding through his clothes It was leaking from some chromes that was squeezing Than when I'm all alone I be thinking I'm against all odds Praying to God to show me the evens But I'm sick of being poked through the seasons Smoking dro through the drinking with two hoes through the weekend Bout to go till I see [Refrain] Life can sometimes be so hard to bare When you feel like there's no one who cares There are times you feel all hope is gone Don't lose faith and just keep holding on and on and on [Verse 2] But sometimes I feel alone in these streets It gets cold in these streets, my heart and soul on these streets I lost my mom so I hold to a piece of a place Of a time when we both intertwined It was love for a fatherless son Although he had love for a son visits were none to seldom I would sit on a porch till the mail come And when it came there never was a letter with my name But mom's was there for me, she held it down cause she cared for me She never left even in her last path where she slept Next to d**h she was always at her best, never stressed That's why I love her [Refrain] [Bridge] You gotta keep holding on, you gotta keep, keep holding on, keep holding on Just keep holding on, you gotta keep, keep holding on, keep holding on yo Keep holding on, you gotta keep, keep holding on, keep holding on [Refrain]
