Lyrics
It's for when I can't take no more
Expressing a need for relief when faced with overwhelming situations.
Or fake it no more
Desire to be genuine and not pretend any longer.
Or wait around knocking on these doors anymore
Frustration with waiting and wanting to move forward.
For the days when I don't wanna scrape no more
Days when the struggle feels too much to endure.
When I wonder what the waiting's for
Questioning the purpose of waiting.
It's when i want more
Expressing a desire for more in life.
I want my Pop's to not be poor
Wishing for improved financial conditions for family.
I want more
Continued expression of the desire for more.
I want my turn to burn the world down to it's core
Expressing a wish to make a significant impact on the world.
I want more of it
Desire for an increased share or experience of life.
More poorer kids to get their stories written
Advocating for more opportunities for underprivileged children.
More pickin's
Emphasizing the need for more choices or options.
More of what we're not getting'
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
It's about
Introducing the theme of holding things together.
Holding the seams together
Reiterating the theme of holding things together.
Holdin on
Stressing the act of holding on during challenges.
And I'm pretty shallow
Acknowledging a superficial nature but aspiring for depth.
But i keep spitting to be deeper
Expressing a commitment to improve and go beyond surface-level existence.
I'm spittin' to beat the leak under my sneakers
Using creativity and expression to overcome difficulties.
I'm spittin' to drown in surround sound coming from my cheap speakers
Using artistic expression to cope with challenges.
I'm spittin' to attract some heat seekers
Seeking attention or recognition through creative efforts.
And i guess that you could say i'm star but somehow i'm not too bright
Acknowledging a level of fame but feeling inadequate.
It's the eyes
Attributing the lack of brightness to the eyes.
They don't shine right in this lime light
Feeling overshadowed or not standing out in the spotlight.
I'm outta sight
Being unnoticed or hidden from public view.
So you'll never get to see me on the mic
Accepting a lack of visibility on the microphone.
But fuck it
Expressing a determination to continue despite challenges.
I'll just rhyme at night in my kitchen
Choosing to pursue creativity, specifically rhyme, privately.
And i'm holing the seams together
Reiterating the theme of holding things together.
Holding on
Reemphasizing the importance of holding on during challenges.
So i hold on to it
Continuing to hold on to aspirations and commitments.
And Pops says hold on to it
Encouragement from a paternal figure to persevere.
And She says hold to it
Additional support from a female figure to persist.
And so I hold on
Internalizing and actively holding on to one's goals.
I hold on
Repeating the commitment to holding on.
Holding the seams together
Reiterating the theme of holding things together.
Holding on.
Affirming the importance of persevering and holding on.
