Hold Lyrics - Krs-one - Krs One

Alright, here we go 

I'm thinkin' real hard about some money I can hold 

But everybody I know is deep in the hole 

A steady payin' job is too hard for me to hold 

I call around for work but they puttin' me on hold 

But in my hand a shiny .45 is what I hold 

I make a mayonnaise sandwich out of some whole- 

Wheat, I'm feelin' weak, I can't hold 

I gotta rob somebody tonight and take the whole 

Bank roll, some cash I gotta hold 

At the bottom of my shoe is a little bitty hole 

That's it, my mental sanity I can't hold 

I'm walkin' to the store with this pistol that I hold... 

Half of me is sayin' maintain and uphold 

Suddenly I bump into some asshole 

He's cursin' me out, but this pistol that I hold 

Took control, and in his head I put a hole 

Ahhh man, now I'm lookin' around the whole 

Area, the gun is still hot that I hold 

I'm buggin' out, and I don't know how much longer I can hold 

I feel myself sinkin' deeper in the hole 

So in my victim's pants I rip a little hole 

And felt for the wallet, and took the whole 

Bill-fold, forty bucks is what I hold 

Suddenly I hear, "Freeze! Police! Hold!" 

In the penitentiary I see a whole 

Bunch of blacks and Hispanics that they hold 

In my cell I cry like hell, my head I hold 

One day somebody ax if my shoes they could hold 

I told this guy, "Listen! My shoe's got a hole 

But what's up with that shiny sharp knife that you hold?" 

He lunged forth, the first thing that I thought of was to hold 

The arm with the knife so that he couldn't put a hole 

In me, but then I put him in a chokehold 

Took the knife and in his neck I put a hole 

Suddenly all the C.O's come to me and it's me they hold 

Beat my ass and I spend two weeks in the hole 

I'm ready to bug out, my sanity I can't hold 

My needs and wants messed up my life on a whole. 

Damn. Just wasn't satisfied with life. 

The moral to the story is...your addiction to your needs and your 

wants is what causes problems in your life. Make sure you got whatcha 

need. Put at a safe distance all the things that you want. It's wants 

that get you into trouble. 

This is the balance of life, the balance to life on a whole.
