Lyrics:

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 spending time with my fam hella useless 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

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

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

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

Hold Me Close

Don’t let go
