Joseph James Holland - Surviving The Times freestyle lyrics

(Voice) Intro: (0:00:06 – 0:00:47) But that's the whole tragic point, my friends What, what would I do if I could suddenly feel And to know once again that what I feel is real? I could cry, I could smile, I might lay back for awhile Tell me what, what would I do if I could feel you? (Poncho) Verse 1: (0:00:50 – 0:02:09) It was at the age of three, that I wasn't able even to talk, until mom took me to a Bishop, then the Bishop prayed for me, and when the Bishop prayed for me, I started learnin how to talk. My first word mom and she was happy for the first time; it's been three years since I've been able not able to talk at three, but when I started talkin at three, mom was happy an excited. When she called on the phone, she first called my grandmother; my granny Louise West at the age of her late 60's. She was happy that I was able to talk and so was my dad; my dad was so happy that I could walk and I could talk. We had a great family growin up, we drove a red car, and when it was the 2000's, we moved on to a “Green Plymouth”.It was one of the best cars that we had and we lived in Sawmill Hollow; 253 in Cumberland, Kentucky; we don't hardly have much. We grew up poor income, we grew up in a poor poor house, and that's why we appreciate the bad times, so we can reflect on the bad times (Poncho) Verse 2: (0:02:29 – 0:03:20) It was hard being a black kid growing up in Harlan County, Kentucky; you didn't have much in Harlan County, Kentucky; because everything was shutdown, not really everything was shutdown, but we had more then we have right now. We had Tastee Freeze, Pizza Hut, and Food City; we had “Food World” as well, it was a great store and it closed down; just like “Pizza Hut” is still open , we had B and J's. I grew up with a family of three with my mom and my dad, and my brother “Hunter Holland”, he's getting ready to graduate in May. In May time he's goin to graduate in May, my friend friend's “Tahj Bryant” is goin to EKU in the fall (Poncho) Verse 3: (0:03:40 – 0:04:01) At 19 years old I about lost my life due to “Colon Surgery”; doctors thought that I wouldn't make it, but guess what God proved them wrong, and I almost lost my music career in 2015, but not only did I came back, I became number one Hip-Hop Artist of the year (Voice) Ending: (0:04:23 – 0:04:39) What would I do if I could reach inside of me? And to know how it feels to say, I like what I see
