Hold It Down Freestyle
Time Flies by, I'm out for success til I die/
Gotta change some perspectives, so take time to see through my eyes/
I'm searching for universal truths wondering where the answer lies/
Til I find it, I keep my eyes open wide/
While penning messages trying to stop your thoughts that provoke suicide/
Preaching that if we love our brothers, we can stop the homicides/
And that regardless of color, we are one in hopes to stop genocide/
Y'all with me or not? Pick a side/
A revolutionary mind don't want war, he wants change/
That bum on the corner don't want change, he wants bills/
And that dude in that apartment don't want bills, he wants more than to just get by/
That kid with no guidance is just trying to survive/
No father and his mom works part time plus a nine to five/
So let me be your guide/
Stay in school, gain knowledge, go to college, and change the system from inside/
I'm just trying to help you stand without crutches/
There's strength in unity, so what? There's like 6 billion of us?/
We all make mistakes so how can they judge us?/
And life's too short to hold grudges, so just move on/
You're getting my two cents plus two more free without the coupon/
This is just some fast food for thought/
I can't go yet, there's too many lessons that need to be taught/
Like be yourselves and never pretend to be something you're not/
And no matter you're beliefs, have some faith in God/
Always choose the best option when wondering through life's maze/
And always remember that light sheds even in the darkest of days/
And whether this is your first or tenth time around/
You gotta hold it down/
