Hold on
Be strong
Hold on
Still stuck up in this rental
That's the major reason why I got my pen and pencil
And I don't like to talk, I rather rap on instrumentals
Will I make it or not?
Well I guess it's all mental
Back in high school when I was skipping on some lessons
Dumb sh** distracted me, that was adolescence
My mind polluted, I guess I forgot the essence
But I can see the future bright
I know the future bright
I made the shell crack and I done seen the light
What made me realize?
These teenage girls saying life's a party
I say that's some ill advice
Oh yeah I've been advised
To watch my moves, not to get my life jeopardized
So please decide how you going to get it right?
They say I set the bar too high
You must not be wise, you see the sky?
I finna show you how to f**ing fly
Chorus
When you down, when you low
When you got no way to go
When life is like telling you no-o
So homie ain't no way but up
When you down, when you stuck
Homie don't forget it, you strong
Mama, will you cool down?
Mama, Imma move out
Know we got issues now
Imma make you so proud
And I don't hang with fools now
And I got spiritual
It feels like I'm becoming a better individual
When I was seventeen and I just wanted a bad b**h
I was wasting time and I ain't never clean no damn dish
Selfish, see I ain't never cleaned and never cooked
But I was working on sixteens and making better hooks
I regret that, I hope you get that
I know you know me well, I know you get that
But Imma make it happen even though you don't believe it
It must that I'm young and still believing
Now I can separate the good from the wrong
Now I'm doing what I love: making songs
I'm doing better every single day
I know the sky's just a little bit away
Chorus
When you down, when you low
When you got no way to go
When life is like telling you no
So homie ain't no way but up
When you down, when you stuck
Homie don't forget it, you strong
