Track number 4, LYRICS BELOW

Oldie but goodie, 4th take on this one. Hold on!


I was told once to hold on
Then they took away my traction
Was asked to grin and bear it
While this mo'f*cker was over there laughin
I was told to trade my weapons
For gas masks, duct tape and sheets of plastic
When I could no longer find humor in the dramatic
They gave these kids a new habit
And told me to hold on

Like, yo, just hold on

I was told once to hold on
Hold on to what man? all my grip is gone
Been slippin just a bit too long
What was traction cold flipped
Momentum gots me ass-backwards for the dawn
Meeting the Mourning Skys with grey eyes
Consistantly failing to be surprized
Hanging on persistantly for the demise of this life
My breath baited, standing on the pire
Patciently awaiting the fire
Rebirth of my desire
Existance with liars, it done effected the voices
In my head, past decade nothing but a facade
Hiding true intentions, re-write the dictionary
Throw away todays definitions
See it's fatally effecting the struggle
The rich get rich, only to face a new deposition
And I'm supposed to be humble, yo f*ck that
Ya'll can burn me, set me alight
Delight in my embrace, we can both
Exit this place for seperate destinations
Point ya guns in new directions, save ya words
Unless they backed with appropriate actions

I was told once to hold on
Then they took away my traction
Was asked to grin and bear it
While this mo'f*cker was over there laughin
I was told to trade my weapons
For gas masks, duct tape and sheets of plastic
When I could no longer find humor in the dramatic
They gave these kids a new habit
And told me to hold on

*X2

I was ordered once to hold on
Told I play this, piviotal role
The whole plan anchored on me as a pawn
Inevitable, the question arose
As if I was just cannon fodder
While these fat cats jocky for position
I know I can strike harder but
They restricting my movements
If I'm a part of the system
And the system they abusing
Then why the f*ck am I sittin here
Looking all confused instead of
Throwing this brick
They tried to entrap me wit
Goin out blastin like I couldn't give a sh*t
Ya want for call it a shortfall?
That's fine, I claim environmental hazards
This outlook cancerous
This evolution it took a wrong turn
Quick to negate everything that I've learned
Still I yearn for this grip
Short stack, half packed clip
Just somethin to hold on...
Just a lil sumthin to hold on

See -
I was told once to hold on
Then they took away my traction
Was asked to grin and bear it
While this mo'f*cker was over there laughin
Was told to trade my weapons
For gas masks, duct tape and sheets of plastic
When I could no longer find humor in the dramatic
They gave these kids a new habit
And told me to hold on
