What's Real

Hold on to what's real Hold on to what makes you heel You gotta hold on Hold on You've got to hold on to what's real I'll never let it go fold it up and take it on the go Medicinal everybody needs a little hope Hanging off my seat what's next for me It's ecstasy the way they blessing me No etch a sketch but I shook the scene Realized I couldn't breath I had to change somethings I wanna write raps till the end of forever But if I wanna do that then I must be clever Learned The wrong reps could bruise and sever To get what I want I apply the pressure On myself to keep on getting better Never let up in the pedal I ain't ever gana settle And anyone who loves me will understand I'm a man with a plan and I gotta follow through I wasn't put here to do what they want me to Barriers are getting broken through Hold on to what's real Hold on to what makes you heel You gotta hold on Hold on You've got to hold on to what's real Managed on my own to reach out and move Gate keepers tried their best to keep me from you They wouldn't book me for shows so I threw my own They Play me across sea but I'm ignored at home The indie life it can take its toll Im selling raps but Im always broke If I wanted to be rich I would toss this notebook But a life in denial is a life that's no good Stuffed in a van in an unknown state The things we do just to rock that stage I feel so alive when they chant my name 4 hours of sleep I've never been so awake Take anything I make go back and create More food for the soul more gas for the tank The more I do me the more that they hate But the more I do me the more I feel great I gotta hold on to what's real Hold on to what makes you heel You've gotta hold on Hold on You've got to hold on to what's real I put a couple people on no favors returned Taken advantage of the bridge burned You live and you learn they both go together Your knowledge is a thing that can't be measured You learn some friendships don't last forever The ones that do you'll learn to treasure Build while can and don't take it for granted Tomorrows never promised try to to understand it Many times I've lived to regret expressing neglect and the things that I've kept People leave suddenly there's no coming back While you've got it hold on like a running back People search there whole life and end up with nothing But everything they ever wanted was standing in front of them I try to cherish everything that I have So I have no regrets when I look at the past
