Hold Lyrics

[00:23.54] Yeah... yeah...
[00:27.14] Mmmmm... Mm!
[00:37.92] Alright, here we go...
[00:40.67] I'm thinkin' real hard about some money I can hold
[00:44.38] But everybody I know is deep in the hole
[00:47.90] A steady payin' job is too hard for me to hold
[00:50.64] I call around for work but they puttin' me on hold
[00:54.20] But in my hand a shiny .45 is what I hold
[00:57.87] I make a mayonnaise sandwich out of some whole-
[01:01.56] Wheat, I'm feelin' weak, I can't hold
[01:05.17] I gotta rob somebody tonight and take the whole
[01:08.77] Bank roll, some cash I gotta hold
[01:11.44] At the bottom of my shoe is a little bitty hole
[01:15.01] That's it, my mental sanity I can't hold
[01:18.73] I'm walkin' to the store with this pistol that I hold...
[01:25.00] Yeah... yeah...
[01:36.72] Half of me is sayin' maintain and uphold
[01:39.53] Suddenly I bump into some asshole
[01:43.14] He's cursin' me out, but this pistol that I hold
[01:45.84] Took control, and in his head I put a hole
[01:49.41] Ahhh man, now I'm lookin' around the whole
[01:52.16] Area, the gun is still hot that I hold
[01:55.78] I'm buggin' out, and I don't know how much longer I can hold
[01:59.46] I feel myself sinkin' deeper in the hole
[02:03.09] So in my victim's pants I rip a little hole
[02:06.67] And felt for the wallet, and took the whole
[02:09.35] Bill-fold, forty bucks is what I hold
[02:13.88] Suddenly I hear, "Freeze! Police! Hold!"
[02:16.54] Yeah... mmmmm...
[02:31.92] Come on!
[02:38.32] Yeah... wooh!
[02:41.08] Come on...
[02:44.67] In the penitentiary I see a whole
[02:48.24] Bunch of blacks and Hispanics that they hold
[02:51.86] In my cell I cry like hell, my head I hold
[02:54.55] One day somebody ax if my shoes they could hold
[02:58.14] I told this guy, "Listen! My shoe's got a hole
[03:01.80] But what's up with that shiny sharp knife that you hold?"
[03:05.46] He lunged forth, the first thing that I thought of was to hold
[03:08.11] The arm with the knife so that he couldn't put a hole
[03:11.77] In me, but then I put him in a chokehold
[03:15.33] Took the knife and in his neck I put a hole
[03:18.98] Suddenly all the C.O's come to me and it's me they hold
[03:21.71] Beat my ass and I spend two weeks in the hole
[03:25.34] I'm ready to bug out, my sanity I can't hold
[03:30.82] My needs and wants messed up my life on a whole.
[03:32.61] Damn. Just wasn't satisfied with life.
[03:41.66] Yeah... uh!
[04:06.06] Yeah...
[04:06.95] Check!
[04:08.71] The moral to the story is... your addiction to your needs and your
[04:15.17] Wants is what causes problems in your life. Make sure you got whatcha
[04:22.32] Need. Put at a safe distance all the things that you want. It's wants
[04:31.49] That get you into trouble.
[04:38.63] This is the balance of life... the balance to life on a whole.
[04:42.22]
