Remember, Hold On

Lord knows
I’m so sedated in sorrow save me with prayer it’s precious the soul,
it’s days prayers like the pliers compressions the woes
And days slipping like that rapper Earl’s covering lows
Cover girls coveting the simple time that we froze, in time idolizing moments
she mumbling it’s your world when crumbling
Emotions no vocalists, not a trio to cover this
Deficits tumbling, like tumbleweeds, cut the shit
I tell me when tailoring to dysfunction this society publishing
The pain is so humbling, at times I’m amazed at the ways that stomach it
The phase is separation from all the days commeth
A maze that our sights see effected by rubbish that we created
The disdain embedded inside beloved
Yet we show it on our sleeves no denying it
Got to face it all to succeed or die trying it
When you’re faced with adversity, remember, hold on
Life has its ups
Life has its downs
Remember, remember, straighten up your crown (straighten up your crown yeah
yeah yeah yeah)
Remember, remember (remember)
Remember, remember…
The saying goes you cannot slow up with God’s timing
You miss the blessing if depression got you, Phyllis Hyman
Internal demons that’s painting pictures that paint you on the edge of defeat,
simply fall out of alignment
Dreams a fill your soul up, preparation for shining
Impeccable grinding, a la cart buzz co-signing never needed
Not from broken elitists leave me soaking like Peters, robbed me from Paul’s to
earn my stripes Addidas
Since a fetus I was made for a throne
Senoritas guarantee us love tell from the tone
All poison, appreciation doubled when on
Now fake love real poison turn to Nina Simone
Need a Mars need some outer space, uh no
I gotta face the scars out of place to bring greatness
To be here for a long time, pardon my lateness
And pressure make a diamond
Pray I make it count with these great gifts
When you’re faced with adversity, remember, hold on
Life has its ups
Life has its downs
Remember, remember, straighten up your crown (straighten up your crown yeah
yeah yeah yeah)
Remember remember (remember)
Remember, remember
Remember, remember
Hold on (hold on)
(hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on)
The world’s changing, see the strangers
Scared of success cause old friends will see it, internalize it,
the feeling’s raging
They say they love you but love you for what you’re doing for them
A thin line between clapping for em and seeming foreign
When you’re appointed, apparent, the pressure boiling, symbolism for angel
wings, flapping through life’s poison
Death around the corner, greatness allure her
The Malcolm/Martin/Kennedy saga continue on ya
Crazy when all you wanted was seeing California
Sadie I need, momma these demons run amok on ya
The hypocrisy of loving thyself, when sleeping with different souls and laying
hearts on the shelf uh huh
This world’s crazy yet we want what it got
We want whatever it gives, within forgiving me nots
Apologetic no, we just wanna live righteous
A sacrifice is coming when our life is priceless
