Holdin' On

Cisco Static

8

I′m walkin' on my two feet

Headphones on

So you know I′m bumpin' Souls of Mischief or Mobb DeepI could tell you I'm from the streets

But I ain′t tryna sound like your typical Hip-Hop repeat

I′m bringing back the '90s classics

Lettin′ the record scratch

Feelin' the bass slap

Watchin′ the ink splash

Compressin' my syllables

Makin′ my words smash, 'cause I be about that

Throw me in the flames

I been a couple times & I overcame

I'm pavin′ my lane

Ready to leave my stain, my legacy on this game

With (C-I-S-C-O) right on top

Life ain′t about handouts, so I'm carvin′ my spot

Y'all shufflin′ through music, like y'all playin′ the slots

But my cadence be one in a million, y'all listenin' to a jackpot

We all playin′ this game called life

Each and every one of us figuring how to do it right

But if you only lookin′ for Bentley's and Range Rovers

It′s sad to say, it's already game over

Growin′ up Hispanic, life ain't give us lemons

We grew them in the back, member picking ′em when I was seven

So I sip my own juice, sippin' on some lemonade

I picked myself up, now I'm headed for the game, word

I wake up to the mornin′ Star

And think about things that I′ve seen so far

I've seen some homies win & I′ve seen some fall

But a lifestyle surrounded by negativity is one that's truly flawed

Or so I′ve read

I picked up a couple books

'Cause my mind was more entertained by pages than by the bread

And knowledge is Forever

As long as you pass it down

Even after you dead

You see, I ain′t come here to become a celebrity

I came here using a gift that's been given me

Got my soul shinin' when I rap, got me feelin′ infinity

I′m livin' each day

Savin′ the memories made

Leavin' a bookmark on the page

Lookin′ back at it sometimes

But I know I'm already well on my way

Word up
