Caved In

I can't hold on, I can't hold on

But I just hold on, I just hold on

[Verse 1: Deacon]

Lord why's everybody's puzzle missing pieces

Struggling, grinding, greaseless

No ryhme or reason in sight

I'm seeing the pain off their eyes

I'm seeing that we often lie, lost in our cries

I'm seeing impatient parents

Blaming unsuspecting children

I'm seeing in patients, critical

Streets are dead from the killings

I'm like damn, blocks hot, not from the ozone

Through camera's cops watch these lil boys hold chrome

Stuck, teenagers, foxes and pups

On blocks rocks in they chucks, choppers watching above

They need love, not snug cuffs, federally fucked

Tis all orchestration Hanz Zimmer could'nt conduct

But whattawedo, most problems dun been discussed

But we talk about actions on the backend, and hush

I guess most of y'all must listen to rush

Long as you all good, then everybody under your flush

[Hook: Cee-Lo Green]

Everytime I try and help myself

Reaching out and finding no one else

I can't hold on

So anytime you feel your soul's in need

Realize you can depend on me

And let's just hold on

[Verse 2: Deacon]

We slipping far under the ghoul yard

In grim tombs we some dim stars, batteries full barred

At birth, but it's hard to stay charged on earth

Cause world wide like girth, the wise are in dirt

Grandmama's used to bus us to church

Humming Hymns

Stretch out a fat meal on the table from something slim

Now we starving, faith on the back of a carton

To find it, follow tracks down arms

And boulevards in the south, park

Watch as mouth art paints audio visuals

Call it rythmical miracles

And parts what your eyes red see

Throwing change ups in your medley through headpiece

Still Judge, but dont Dredd each day, instead feast

Life's an unfed beast that eats bread and meat

That's either your cash or your corpse

So I just hope that the Lord helps me last through these wars

Ya know?
