Jeru The Damaja - Hold Tight lyrics

I can't sleep at night plus my chest feels tight Things seem to be the worst theyve ever been in my life Im slipping in the darkness and im searching for light Plus the agents of satan try to silence my mic Its the demons within nowadays that i fight I took a few steps back, will i ever reach the heights It'll be nice to have kids and a wife But i tend to do whats wrong even though i know whats right Got a DWI, i ?? Contemplating sellin that stuff they burn in blunts and pipes Unholy thoughts cause me stress and strife Although im tired im determined to fight the good fight I exist in a world thats more than black and white Its like that space and time where day transitions the night Hear if you master yourself you get general stripes Just dont tempt the wolves because the beats bites (chorus) (...) (chorus) I feel im at a crossroad, i ask myself whats next I got a monkey on my back and hes addicted to s** Things were simple as a child, but now theyre so complex Should i, sell my soul to collect fatter checks? I know how to play my cards but im playin with fixed decks When i want to ease my mind i read ancient texts Tryna occupy my time with different projects And when all else fails the deuce-deuce are backs Where im at now in my journey, trust i didn't expect When theres a flaw in your design you blame the architect Had the best intention, but wasn't living correct And day by day tighten the noose around my neck Look at myself in the mirror and get vexed And i constantly ponder which course to select Now my sorrows are (?) and get wet But i won't go out like the gunman at virginia tech (chorus)
