Hold Me Close

[Verse 1]
I had a dream that I was stuck inside the rat race
No matter what I did, there’s no escaping that place
And once I actually woke up, I swear my ass raced
Right up to my mom, asked could we talk and she said yeah, wait
And by the time she speaking, I was balling
And by the time she reaching me, my knees weak and I’m falling
She sat me down, I told her how I’d seen all I was scared about
And nobody would let me out, the metaphor’s appalling
A calling
Telling me I’m too stressed out
‘Bout me succeeding, that’s the only thing I’m ruthless ‘bout
Think spеnding time with my fam hella uselеss now
But what’s gon’ happen when I’m lonely on a fruitless route
I’m planting seeds in some career that I don’t need
Instead of keeping three hours for the fam a week
But when I’m weak, who reaching to get me up off my knees
The people I don’t give no equal time and that’s on me, please

[Chorus]
Hold Me Close
Barely feeling like a man nowadays
Almost nothing ever going by the plans nowadays
I don’t even make the time for the fam nowadays but they
Hold Me Close
All the love, nah it can’t fade away
They the ones that got me feeling like I can save the day
Trynna run it up and take care of my fam straightaway ‘cause they
Hold Me Close
Hold me
Hold me, yeah, yeah
Don’t let go
Don’t let go, no

[Verse 2]
My pops telling me to keep going
So fuck it, I guess
‘Cause way before I even had a single touch of success
I had a mop for competition and bucket for sweat, yeah
And I ain’t close to done with it yet
Always investing in myself
I’m Warren Buffet with Pres
I’m taking more than the rest
I’m giving more than my best
Always ignoring the stress
Until it shortens my breath ‘cause
Anxiety be on the phone
But I can’t handle it alone
Though everybody else’ll roam
My fam will always be my home, yeah
Time is of the essence
My family and my best friends
I barely give my presence, it weighs on me
But I don’t make corrections
I don’t deserve redemption
But when I need connection, don’t flake on me

[Chorus]
Hold Me Close
Barely feeling like a man nowadays
Almost nothing ever going by the plans nowadays
I don’t even make the time for the fam nowadays but they
Hold Me Close
All the love, nah it can’t fade away
They the ones that got me feeling like I can save the day
Trynna run it up and take care of my fam straightaway ‘cause they
Hold Me Close
Hold me
Hold me, yeah, yeah
Don’t let go
Don’t let go, no

[Outro]
Hold Me Close
Don’t let go
