Holding On Lyrics - Slum Village

Elzhi> I know I might sound like I got a cold and I'm sneezing 

But I'm grown and i'm breathing 

Hear the tone in my speaking 

Both of my parents gone for a reason 

Daddy's wrong just for leaving 

Mother moved on and I'm grieving 

Now spirits above the stones and the demons 

She belongs in the teaching where there's a throne in the kingdom 

And deep inside my bones I'm believing 

That my poems that I'm reading is the psalms to my freedom 

But life can be known as decieving 

What I'm shown isn't pleasing 

Makes me wanna throw stones at a deacon 

In his home when he preachin 

See that's Satan making my heart cold as a breeze till it's frozen from freezin 

Gotta get right 

I'm might not make it over this evening 

Cause your time here is shorter than breath going from weezing 

And I heard my nigga Tone he was bleeding 

Through his clothes it was leaking from some chromes that was squeezing 

Now when I'm all alone I be thinking I'm against all odds 

Praying that God will show me the evens 

But I'm sick of being poor through the season 

Smoking dro through the drinking 

With two hoes through the weekend 

Bout to bone till I semen 

Chorus 

T3> But sometimes I feel alone on these streets 

It gets cold in these streets 

My heart and soul on these streets 

I lost my moms so I hold to a piece 

Of a place,date and time 

When we both entertwined 

It was love for a fatherless son 

Although he had love for his son visits were none to seldom 

I sit on the porch till the mail come 

And when it came 

Ther never was a letter with my name(damn) 

But moms was ther for me 

She held it down cause she cared for me 

She never left 

Even in her last breath when she slept next to death 

She was always at her best 

Never stressed 

That's why i love her 

Chorus 

You gotta keep holdin on 

You gotta keep keep holdin on keep holdin on 4x 

Chorus
