Hold

Verse 1

Yeah....yeah.....
Mmmmm....mm!
Alright, here we go...

Im thinkin real hard about some money I can hold
But everybody I know is deep in the hole
A steady payin job is too hard for me to hold
I call around for work but they puttin me on hold
But in my hand a shiny .45 is what I hold
I make a mayonnaise sandwich out of some whole-
Wheat, Im feelin weak, I cant hold
I gotta rob somebody tonight and take the whole
Bank roll, some cash I gotta hold
At the bottom of my shoe is a little bitty hole
Thats it, my mental sanity I cant hold
Im walkin to the store with this pistol that I hold...

Verse 2

Yeah....yeah.....

Half of me is sayin maintain and uphold
Suddenly I bump into some asshole
Hes cursin me out, but this pistol that I hold
Took control, and in his head I put a hole
Ahhh man, now Im lookin around the whole
Area, the gun is still hot that I hold
Im buggin out, and I dont know how much longer I can hold
I feel myself sinkin deeper in the hole
So in my victims pants I rip a little hole
And felt for the wallet, and took the whole
Bill-fold, forty bucks is what I hold
Suddenly I hear, freeze! police! hold!

Verse 3

Yeah....mmmmm.....
Come on!
Yeah....wooh!
Come on...

In the penitentiary I see a whole
Bunch of blacks and hispanics that they hold
In my cell I cry like hell, my head I hold
One day somebody ax if my shoes they could hold
I told this guy, listen! my shoes got a hole
But whats up with that shiny sharp knife that you hold?
He lunged forth, the first thing that I thought of was to hold
The arm with the knife so that he couldnt put a hole
In me, but then I put him in a chokehold
Took the knife and in his neck I put a hole
Suddenly all the c.os come to me and its me they hold
Beat my ass and I spend two weeks in the hole
Im ready to bug out, my sanity I cant hold
My needs and wants messed up my life on a whole.

Damn. just wasnt satisfied with life.

Yeah....uh!
Yeah....
Check!

The moral to the story is...your addiction to your needs and your
Wants is what causes problems in your life. make sure you got whatcha
Need. put at a safe distance all the things that you want. its wants
That get you into trouble.

This is the balance of life...the balance to life on a whole.
