Hold on, hold on, hold on
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh, hey, oh, c'mon
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Say what? Ayy, say what? Oh, ayy, oh
Yeah, woah, woah
I told my mama as-salamu, I'ma make it and never forget her
Stackin' bread and stackin' the cheddar
Who woulda known I would have traveled off of writing letters?
Who woulda known I'd have a job making these instrumentals? Yeah, woah
Some days are better than others
I know I was the shoulder for the tears of my mother
This around the time when my parents divorced
Same time when my faith finally taken course, yeah
My biggest fear is losin' my wife and all my Christian heroes
Yeah, they cheated once or twice
Makin' me think if I'm next in line
If my light gon' shine? Do my eyes go blind?
I know the Devil wanna silence on my name
Growing up, trying to find my way
I'm just tryna dodge the flames
I been gettin' tied away, I'm tryna wait
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Do you ever see inside?
Do you ever see inside?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Do you ever see inside?
Do you ever see inside? See inside
Yeah, woah, woah
I told my people that the root of evil is the love of moolah
Gems of wisdom in my head, you can ask the jeweler
I had to get it through my thick skull, my medulla
Before the snakes slitherin', gotta duck Medusa, wusa
Why we do bad? We gotta lose that
And from the jump, I was trying not to be a nuisance
Who that? Who that? The heathen that was lost and found
Yeah, yeah, I had an episode, yeah, I had enough, uh
Hope they understand my words at the Dove's, yeah
You the type to go crazy on the keyboard
'Til you see me with the homies at the front door
Got it, Timmy Timmy, yeah, we gon' eat
Hope it ain't the last supper that we gon' feast
They tryna kill me like Jesus at thirty-three
I hope they see me as the brother, not the enemy
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh, hey, oh, c'mon
Hold on, hold on, hold on (say what? Say what?)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Do you ever see inside?
Do you ever see inside?
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Do you ever see inside?
Do you ever see inside? See inside
