David Versis - Hold On lyrics

(Repeated Throughout) Hold on Yeah Lemme speak to 'em Uh I ain't tryin' to boast here, wanna make a toast here Just to all of those still standing with me when the smoke clears Once the coast clear, I put the Vandals on I put my sandals on, Chillin' where the coast clear So I need to know are we drinkin' or what? 'Cause I'm like Lent to these b**hes, they keep givin' it up And it's strange, though 'Cause when I go out and I'm dressed up All I see is dollar signs burned inside they retinas And it don't make sense, 'cause I ain't got a cent on me But they don't got sense, so I let 'em put they scent on me You might find me in a West Coast place with some fresh Rosé Hangin' out at the best parties But I need to know what's it all for? Round of four shots, penthouse, homie, top floor I guess I'm just a young gun tryin' to soak it in Big shoes to fill, I'ma get these b**hes broken in And these days, I'm sleepin' light upon my pillowcase 'Cause I'd be lyin' if I told you I was feelin' great And so I'm scrollin' down my contact list At a quarter past six, tryin' to figure out who still awake 'Cause I need someone I can vent to To tell me something that I can't do I'm feelin' like a Renaissance man Never out, but out is how I got it all planned So I tell 'em I'm just tryin' to be the best right now Gotta get this off my chest right now I keep hearing these voices They keep on talkin' They keep on tellin' me That I should hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on Take all the time you need Lookin' at the Vandals like they couldn't be a better crew Blowin' money 'cause that's what the hip-hop manual said to do Waitin' for things to pan out, but they never do 'Cause they couldn't account for what the thoughts in his head'd do And to those in my city, I ain't upset with you Look at what I done for you, look at what I did for you Pa**ing up on me is a thought that'll have to live with you The fact that I'd be dead for you is something you're indebted to Uh, now I'm just doin' what I'm meant to do Stackin' up cash and pocketing a cent or two Pavin' my own avenue, workin' on my revenue Have 'em wonderin' what happened to the boy they never knew Uh, just know we ten steps ahead of you k**in' every muhf**in' track that he steppin' to Now who you steppin' to? Big fish in a big pond I used to write raps, now I write songs I used to light firecrackers, now I light bombs I buy clothes like it ain't even got a price on I gotta tell you, it feels good It hasn't happened quite yet, but it still could And one day, when I do make it And they ask me if I'd do it again I still would So my patience is nothin' close to an overstatement But for now, all I'm hearin' are these voices sayin' I'm just tryin' to be the best right now Gotta get this off my chest right now I keep hearing these voices They keep on talkin' They keep on tellin' me That I should hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on Take all the time you need My girl said, "Versis, there ain't nobody like you And that might be the only reason they don't like you" So for now, I'm just focused on my latitude White boy with an attitude, cooler than an ice cube I am fly like an airline, you better believe My grind's like a hairline that never recedes I balled, though, showed you all the tricks in my sleeve I used to run my mouth for fun, now they beg me to breathe Remember when I used to stay back in detention My teacher lecturin' me, sayin' I should pay attention I told them that I want to make music my profession They just laughed and say "How you gonna get a job without a pension?" Got no pension, just benefits No politicin' b**h, just presidents And this right here, this is evidence That anything they ever told me had no relevance Chillin' with the four horsemen, my flow's pestilence Comin' soon, Vandals in the room, dawg, elephants Who you know who flow with this much eloquence? I flipped it on 'em, raised hell, it's been heaven since And people that I've known from times before Were busy sharpenin' up swords and pointin' 'em to my spinal cord So this right here is a reminder for Anybody tryin' to bring bull up in my china store I'm just tryin' to be the best right now Gotta get this off my chest right now I keep hearing these voices They keep on talkin' They keep on tellin' me That I should hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on Take all the time you need
