Inner conflict
Bout what to do and what not to do?
Silent for an annual now I'm finally due
Questions asked assumptions made that I might have changed
Wonder if I really did, am I still the same?
Is the music to blame for me being this way?
Without it, wouldn't even bother to communicate
What's the use, would never force them to listen
Behind these bars, I'm in prison
Sentences can't be overwritten, why you think I'm isolated
Don't do this for entertainment
Every songs' a conversation
Verses bless the congregation
Some see this shit as a hobby, see this as my occupation
Never going on vacation
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
For the one close to my heart
You've been with me since the start
Pick me up when I was down
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
For the Eastside where I stay
For niggas from the way
Can't forget the family
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
I'ma always hold it down
Even when I'm not around
