Hold - Lyrics by Krs-One


Lyrics
Verse 1   Yeah....yeah.....   Mmmmm....
Mm! Alright, here we go... I'm 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, I'm feelin' weak, I can't 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 That's it, my mental sanity I can't hold I'm 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 He's cursin' me out, but this pistol that I hold Took control, and in his head I put a hole Ahhh man, now I'm lookin' around the whole Area, the gun is still hot that I hold I'm buggin' out, and I don't know how much longer I can hold I feel myself sinkin' deeper in the hole So in my victim's 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 shoe's got a hole But what's 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 couldn't 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.O's come to me and it's me they hold Beat my ass and I spend two weeks in the hole I'm ready to bug out, my sanity I can't hold My needs and wants messed up my life on a whole. Damn. Just wasn't 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. It's wants that get you into trouble. This is the balance of life...the balance to life on a whole.sallysally@usa.net
