[Intro] My baby I tell em I'ma hold on [Verse 1] Rolling despite the pressures I'm facing My flesh is a temporal vessel so time is best when not wasted My purpose is paper, cause without paper my purpose's pertinence Is purposely subjugated negating my domination It's a wall I'm facing It's a wall that ensures there's shackles on the poorest nations It's a wall that ensures the cla**es are divided The flow of cash is decided with silent transactions Exacted while they ask for compliance Why is, there violence? For power and profit, profit and power And often to silence those who try and Threaten either, this world is a nest of vipers Our best intentions discarded we float in the darkness Gotta move as a shark to be regarded Hardly a walk in the park And partly a war for survival This trial's getting started I'ma keep my eye on the prize, I'm applying my time To devising a new life for me n mine I'm starting [Hook] Rolling round the city tryna see a way All this information I a**imilate Let these n***as talk I ain't affiliated Retaliate, in my heart I know I won't get a start from the sideline Take my n***as all when the times right My baby I tell em I'ma hold on My baby I tell em I'ma hold on [Verse 2] Rose from the most unlikely of places I ought to be patient But my desire for a higher station Is instigating my restless nature Neglecting these n***as that ain't bout their figures I figures I'm f**ing with failures or winners But my business, is looking for the money can a n***a get a witness I was in a city where these n***as flip clips in a stick then grip it on witness I'm tryna live this life, rather than existing I, see the way the system tries, to restrict our vision Why? to restrict ambition These b**hes breed in conditions Facilitated by the state, they handing em cake The state of affairs in estates They taking these breas down the station for selling Charlie n Jane There ain't no war on these d** Boy it's the profit that's made If they can't pocket no profit from it they're stopping the trade If I can't pocket no profit from it I'm stopping the game Stop in your lane, stop all the sh** these f** n***as say You fossils stay where you lay My posse pave the way [Hook]
