Hold Lyrics

    Verse 1

    Yeah....yeah.....
    Mmmmm....mm!
    Alright, here we go...

    I'm thinkin' real hard about some money i can hold
    But everybody i know is deep in the hole
    A steady payin' job is too hard for me to hold
    I call around for work but they puttin' me on hold
    But in my hand a shiny .45 is what i hold
    I make a mayonnaise sandwich out of some whole-
    Wheat, i'm feelin' weak, i can't hold
    I gotta rob somebody tonight and take the whole
    Bank roll, some cash i gotta hold
    At the bottom of my shoe is a little bitty hole
    That's it, my mental sanity i can't hold
    I'm walkin' to the store with this pistol that i hold...

    Verse 2

    Yeah....yeah.....

    Half of me is sayin' maintain and uphold
    Suddenly i bump into some asshole
    He's cursin' me out, but this pistol that i hold
    Took control, and in his head i put a hole
    Ahhh man, now i'm lookin' around the whole
    Area, the gun is still hot that i hold
    I'm buggin' out, and i don't know how much longer i can hold
    I feel myself sinkin' deeper in the hole
    So in my victim's pants i rip a little hole
    And felt for the wallet, and took the whole
    Bill-fold, forty bucks is what i hold
    Suddenly i hear, "freeze! police! hold!"

    Verse 3

    Yeah....mmmmm.....
    Come on!
    Yeah....wooh!
    Come on...

    In the penitentiary i see a whole
    Bunch of blacks and hispanics that they hold
    In my cell i cry like hell, my head i hold
    One day somebody ax if my shoes they could hold
    I told this guy, "listen! my shoe's got a hole
    But what's up with that shiny sharp knife that you hold?"
    He lunged forth, the first thing that i thought of was to hold
    The arm with the knife so that he couldn't put a hole
    In me, but then i put him in a chokehold
    Took the knife and in his neck i put a hole
    Suddenly all the c.o's come to me and it's me they hold
    Beat my ass and i spend two weeks in the hole
    I'm ready to bug out, my sanity i can't hold
    My needs and wants messed up my life on a whole.

    Damn. just wasn't satisfied with life.

    Yeah....uh!
    Yeah....
    Check!

    The moral to the story is...your addiction to your needs and your
    Wants is what causes problems in your life. make sure you got whatcha
    Need. put at a safe distance all the things that you want. it's wants
    That get you into trouble.

    This is the balance of life...the balance to life on a whole.
