Hold Me Close

So I’ll ask that you direct me 'cause my mind’s gone
People need me, depending on me to stay strong
Yeah, we made it this far and this shit planned for me
Help me touch on a couple of milli, yeah, you know me
Yeah, you know what I do if I saw some real money
I would break it into even if my last dollar
I ain’t a scholar, this my only way I make a living
I refuse to resort to slangin' and end up in prison
These jealous niggas get envious, think I’m on now
And they hate me, they hate me, they try to bring me down
As if I didn’t do everything that I could for 'em
As if I didn’t earn everything, man, I work hard
I be stressin' since the absence of my own head
I been prayin' and beggin' that I’m the next dead
And if I am, watch over the ones I love most
I hate thinkin' this way, lately, I’m losin' hope
So, hold me close
Hold me close now
Hold me, hold me, hold me close now
Hold me, hold me, hold me close now
Hold me, hold me, hold me close now
Hold me, hold me, hold me close now
Hold me, hold me, hold me
