Manage - Hold you down lyrics

[Verse 1: Manage] There's no love, chaos is the place that we're heading from Times are harder than the concrete we treading on You feel my pain, I'm maintaining till my seconds gone Watching my words turn to flames like a letter bomb We keep stepping strong, marching through the darkness They watch you rise, then an*lyze you as a target I can't see my future as painful as my past is There's no rest until the enemy's in caskets No ????? bars fam I speak my mind I'm trying to teach the blind, before the peace declines So kids they get trapped inside the streets design We reach divine time to read between the lines Redefine the signs that we're leaving behind Men are heartless, and the answer is what we need to find When I'm facing darkness you best believe I shine Go to war with the enemy the streets is mine [Hook: Manage] The streets are filled with dark corners to hide in When most men are grinding fighting or surviving We keep shining writing on the blank page Don't let your pants fade your future is hand made The world is ours but we battle for a piece of it If your bars are saying nothing then you need to quit Keep your head above water try not to drown The road is long when your troubles hold you down [Verse 2: Skirmish] The South East of London yeah I'm from a place Where we've adopted traits of ungodly ways I've lost my faith and I've got a job I hate I contemplate whether or not to rob the safe Bringing to life visions which exist in the mind I see my own ghost floating over flickering lights Taking life for granted always ????? the eye Can change the outlook of the ????? in a blink of an eye We're dying to live when we're living to die And never having enough has made me bitter inside Living in the big smoke as black ????? my lungs Dark skies ????? sharp knives are handling guns Young teens with crushed dreams becoming drug phenes To outsiders that life of London's unseen The hearts of men are wrong coed and there's no hope When innocent lives are lost over post codes [Hook] [Verse 3, part 1: Manage] ????? the mankind design They're rewiring the mind to keep us moving in line See the fighting decline, the power in its prime I'm street level with the grime telling my mans to climb The devil's playground, money s** and d** ????? and thugs the streets are stained with blood I'm trying to live our life, it's like my veins are cut There ain't no way out of the maze cuz in this place we're stuck [Verse 3, part 2: Skirmish] I'm holding on tight to close friends and family They keep me focused when the world tests my sanity Wanna forget reality, and enter fantasy Cuz everything in life always ends in tragedy Used to breathe in flues in these polluted streets And all their gun talk's nothing but shoot the breeze Kids carry weapons only for bad intentions Life's like a movie without the happy ending
