ALL SALES ON FRIDAY JUNE 5TH DONATED TO LOUISVILLE BAIL FUND

made with friends during quarantine 2020.

lyrics

when this is all said and done
i'll go outside, i'll have my fun
i'll start doing the things i love again
i swear to god

hold me to it, i can do it
i can keep my promises
"he won't do it, that's all there is to it"
that's what my mama says
hold me to it, please oh god
i cannot be here alone
i won't do it, break the law
i'm intuitively scared to go

i'm just trying to see where this goes
i've got reflection on my mind
can i just say it's opportune as usual
but i can't help but hide
girl i can't change the tides
but we should try
every time it seems so structured
i'm not apt to reply
i'll flip some lexicon on you
or something in that nature

i'm not apt to reply

okay i'm trapped in
tap in and imagine me and mine
in an old log cabin
splitting down rations
after the meal we take a pic and commence
fighting over the caption
it may look like i'm down and out
but as sure as my black skin
i'm finna attack in
my typical fashion
my gums gon keep on flappin
hands gon keep on clappin
we gon make this bag do a backspin
people pick your paper or plastic
i'm snappin
see you peeping this flow
it's coming deep from his soul
i know i'm keeping it cold
but don't jack it
yeah i keep sweet sixteens
and we ain't talking a 4x4 bracket
a scripture this was written in code
on old napkins
feel like the whole abode crashing
when i got my seatbelt fastened
so glad i got folks to hold
in these times when thoughts go over boat
or over board
it ain't no remote control to slow this roll
mans gotta hold his own

mans gotta hold his own
so ima hold and hold and hold
and hold mine tightly
uhhyup
