Man...they don't even know the rules yet they tryna play, why?
It's quite unfortunate to say the very least (yuh)
Many years writing and riding
That's cursive or the streets
And to keep it honest
I'm more than likely an Onyx
If you look at my statistics
I'm about as strong as I am weak
No need to speak
When the story ready been told (that's facts)
No need to teach
When the master ready been shown (that's facts)
The things we need to do
The people that we to need be
But all I hear is excuses
I'm wading knee deep
Been waiting on G
Certainly trusting
On the word
The word of God if I must say
'Cause what's the point to say the word so explicitly
When some of us been listening but never done a thing with it!
YUP
Of the sinners, I'm the worst one
YUP
It don't matter if I have done
Labor for the Lord
Labor before the noon sun (come on man)
It's only noon son
Pace yourself you gots-tuh
No you can't get cocky with it,
That's the point y'all just don't get it,
It ain't you it's Him
That's how it's always been
But then y'all forget
And start judging them
That's really the kicka
You want all His grace but ain't willing to give her
You,
Just remember
How it was on the other side
Before we don't see each other on the other side,
I'm holding on.
(That's Real!)
I'm Holding On
I can't complain
From a good family I came
Blessed by God needed nothing I had everything (That's right)
But in exchange
The front door of pain I rang
Demanding my inheritance got it walked away (Give me that)
Wanted more, wanted more, wasn't satisfied
Cause this desire to leave opened up my eyes
To the hypnotizing every lasting evil lies
That had me chillin with some friends that were never mind (oh)
But all the while I seemed to enjoy it (aha)
Wasting my inheritance on petty worthless moments (man)
That quickly tallied up for my check I couldn't pay it
And it was at that very moment I
Began to start thinking (thinking)
Do I leave? Should I leave? Could I ever leave?
Doing the good thangs better than the wrongs thangs (Yeah, yeah aight)
Why my body enticed in doing wrong thangs,
Man I strike a blow to my body
I am only God's slave
And surprised in my return they were waiting for me (Waiting for me)
Tears of joy, opened arms greeting me,
Seen some things I shouldn't have seen
Done some stuff I shouldn't have did
But the forgiveness that I requested
Has been granted to the covenant
Yeah man it's 2020 (oh what a year, what a year)
AWHKN Records yeah we outchea
(Holding on)
Straight from the Grove
It's where I'm from though
Oh what a year
