Gos to hold on
I’ve been trapped for so long
Got to hold on
I’ve been trapped for so long
Got to hold on
I’ve been trapped for so long
Gos to hold on See, marijuana got me copin’ with my problems
And Hennessy got me hopin’ I could solve ‘em
My baby’s mama fully-drama tryin’ to star me in it
But unlike my ol’ sorry ass father, I try harder
My baby raised to hate her daddy
Her mammy player hatin’, wishin’ that she had me
She hate to see me on the street, and stand on my feet
Better yet this bitch wished them crackers had me
See everybody wants to hustle, but don’t nobody want to suffer
Nobody wants to die ‘cause they all bustas and suckas
Ain’t never gonna have nuttin’ ‘cause they be frontin’
Gotta satisfy the time for every dime they be wantin’
And believe me, bein’ a thug it ain’t that easy
I was wanted for the andquot;Candquot;, they had to free me
I’m a recovered man, but still they ain’t respectin’ me
Tryin’ to get the best of me, constantly stressin’ me to We gotta hold on (Hold on)
See, you must be strong (For so long)
It beats thug happiness, you can’t go wrong (I’ve been trapped for so
long), no, no
(Gos to hold on) For all my homies in the hood (I’ve been trapped for so
long)
What will you do, which life will you choose
(Gos to hold on, I’ve been trapped for so long), yeah, yeah See, big daddy gave her diamonds rings
Introduced her to the finer things
Look back, started buyin’ her things
Minor things for the small change and had her of this chain
And this awful thing, she ain’t even cost a thing
Even though we thug die, she looked high
I did wrong for so long, but still got by
See, thug money got blood on the plus
And leave a residue, Boo, I’m tellin’ you I put my hood on it
I lost a homie in the struggle, right
And just the other night, some brother tried to take my dawg’s life
I tipped the homicide, they outside, and they gon’ let it ride
Don’t wanna talk, and they gon’ let him slide
They want war instead, you want more for dead
Rather die, open fire, or die life for this
Take a life instead, kill his wife in bed
Take time to the head, what I shoulda said is We gotta hold on (Hold on)
See, you must be strong (Just hold on, got to hold on)
It beats thug happiness, you can’t go wrong (I’ve been trapped for so
long), no, no
(Gos to hold on) For all my homies in the hood
What will you do (And be strong), which life will you choose
(Got to hold on, I’ve been trapped for so long), yeah, yeah See, I’m thinkin’ back on when I was younger
I used to the hustle in the summer
No time for crime, I had to help my mama
Any time, and any weather, whatever’s clever
And hardly ever never had to step and get my shit together
Unless my homies in the pen, and reason bein’
See, every man’s got his own seein’
But I’mma always remember y’all, ‘cause after all
Y’all still my dawgs, and when you jump, we can still ball
My nigga Ronnie, Leo, Willie and Phat Fred
Big Black, my dawg Sparky, and Lil’ Ed
It be times likes this I sit around like this, cryin’ ‘bout this
Thinkin’ why my click gotta go and die like this
No duckin’, no fearin’ nuttin’
Hearin’ nuttin’, starin’s but buggin’, we call it thuggin’
But don’t thuggin’ for nuttin’, own somethin’
Do for your kids and your mama
Save the drama, young nigga We gotta hold on (Hold on)
See, you must be strong (Gos to hold on)
It beats thug happiness, you can’t go wrong (I’ve been trapped for so
long), no, no
(Just hold on) For all my homies in the hood (I’ve been trapped for so
long)
What will you do, which life will you choose
(Gos to hold on, ha, ha, ha), yeah, yeah (Just hold on) We gotta hold on (Naw, it ain’t no time for no suicidal shit, nigga)
See, you must be strong (Why you still thinkin’ you a thug)
It beats thug happiness, you can’t go wrong (You might as well go ahead
and suffer)
(‘Cause that’s what we doin’, that what it’s about), no, no (Have you
forgotten)
For all my homies in the hood
What will you do, which life will you choose, yeah, yeah
