Taking Hold

Time and time again I get reminded by my friends That this life that I was sent Could result in my untimely end I hope that when I'm dead and gone I leave a legacy of songs behind And my tombstone says "here lies a man that Said the shit that was on his mind" And I tell you what's on my mind right now Each and every one of you Nobody else has fans like mine so I see myself as lucky to be seen as an icon Role model or hero among men And I know big boys don't even cry for Joy but the tears flow from my pen And I don't know if you can feel it But you're taking hold But it is running through my bones Yeah, it is running through my bones And I don't know if I am dreaming But you're taking hold taking hold But you're taking hold Some of you enjoyed him from the start Most of you joined him along the path You all agree that the boy does A lot for the art By rapping like he's avoiding the Top of the chart And you weren't trying to insult, but inspire The honest remarks didn't turn Into an assault cause You had your fingers on the Pulse of this writer and if he's on fire He's burning cause you're the sulphur I never did write for approval So being accepted's quite unusual But then again our lives are alike Can't tell em apart So if the shoe fit's, you're Marco I never did wanna impress I wanted to get the shit off of this chest I couldn't agree that I was good with words Till I knew the definition of success And my peeps might not sell out With what I speak about But if the odd person comes, it evens out Cause when I wrote my very first EP, I vowed To set my sights low and three's a crowd And I believe my material frees a crowd So it's more than tracks That I'm releasing now I've got a better following than I can tweet about They reckon they can still see Stars beneath the clouds
