Hold On

(album: Lost In Reality - 2015)

[Chorus Brittani Janae:]
And I know, I know
Things ain't the way that they used to be
And I know, I know
The way of the world made it hard to breathe
You gotta hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I'm asking you to hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

[Verse 1 Mark Battles:]
Being honest
My life wasn't a box of chocolates
Police sirens, Bullets flying
And a lot of gossip
Bout 5 6 side chicks
Who riding for the profit
But only keep them legs open
If you send them shopping
I ain't got it
Oh well, what's next
Too strong to weep
So I fall asleep and dream of success
What you think I'm upset?
My time ain't even come yet
So I gotta cut these niggas
Till they wanna cut checks
Why you so stressed?
You ain't gotta cry no more
I'ma be your super hero
This is what I'm here for
Hit my knees and pray to God
No disguise, Dear Lord
I hope I'm ready for the things you got in store
Bless your
But am I selfish cause I want more?
Only human but treated like a God when I'm on tour
Remaining humble through the struggles
It's obvious I'm unsure
Are we the one's you come for?
I need to know

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 Dizzy Wright:]
It's crazy
Cause now I'm dealing with these twenty-fifteen issues
Like when your homies see you
Gotta then work against you
And start milking the situation
Ever since that we stop paying
To keep blazing
For some reason
I'm feeling my kindness been mistaken
I don't know how you gone take this
I don't know how you gone take this
But I work so hard so why wouldn't I embrace it
We make mistakes
We learn it
Then we gon' solve the equation
Every problem can be answered
But every answer comes with truth
You gon' have to face it
I've been living man
On the road doing shows
And I swear I love this feeling man
I'm trying to hold on
God been swimming with the sharks
While you've been playing with the dolphins
Can't trust nobody
You know I don't fall in love often
Conversations sparking
And by the way you talking
And making all these faces
You got some crisis' or some confrontations
But I swear that shit you was on back then
The day made me feel I should've done more
Even though I'm unsure
I know what you come for

[Chorus]
