So all I ask that you direct me 'cause my mind's gone People need me, dependin' on me to stay strong Yeah, we made it this far and if this shit planned for me Help me touch on a couple of million, yeah, you know me Yeah, you know what I'd do if I saw some real money? I would break it in two, if even my last dollar I ain't a scholar, this my only way I make a living I refuse to resort to slangin', end up in prison These jealous niggas get envious, think I'm on now, huh And they hate it, they hate me, they tryna bring me down As if I didn't do everything that I could for 'em As if I didn't earn everything, man, I work hard I've been stressin' since the absence of my own head, huh I've been prayin' and beggin' that I'm the next dead And if I am, watch over the ones I love most I hate thinkin' this way, lately, I'm losin' hope So, hold me close Hold me close now Hold me, hold me, hold me close now Hold me, hold me, hold me close now Hold me, hold me, hold me close now Hold me, hold me, hold me close now Hold me, hold me, hold me
