paroles de chanson Hold Your Peace - Alano Adan

When you′re weary, feelin small
And tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I am by your side
When times get tough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge

Yeah
Since ain′t nobody rappin, I had to buss out the pen
Who needs passion, they happily follow trends
While they take it easy, I'm battlin thoughts within
God give me strength to tackle the odds and ends
Did the work to get on track, then ya fall again
Devil want ya soul and ya back to the wall again
Plottin my escape, if not now, then when
I took my faith to heart, and it cost me friends
Do they really love you, the fact is it all depends
Rather play it safe and assume that they all pretend
Rather not set myself up for them to disappoint
You ont wanna hear me talk that talk, you better skip the joint
Claim to do it for God, but wanna be pretty boys
Debatin who the hottest in the city boys
I ont have any bars, but let me hop in this car
And hit the town to try and show em how I'm litty boys
That′s not gon get it done
Don′t get it twisted, we on two different missions son
More than a few from out ya crew that went missin son
Did the damage, keep it movin like a hit and run, yuh
I always keep fightin
You need the moral support, look at ya team hypin
Talkin slick, but don't ever forget
Oil and water don′t mix, yall the definition of grease lightnin
Out here causin a scene
Every song ya drop, another marketing scheme
Another campaign, another album to roll out
Ya thought it was a game, but looked up and it's a blowout
Took the high road when so many took the low route
Guess them tours and merch ain′t the only thing that sold out
I got people that owe me splits and still ain't pay me
Signed a lease with the homies, both of em did me crazy
And then fell off the grid, maybe it was somethin that I did
But I ain′t livin rich, I ain't cop me no big chain
Never knew you'd have such disdain for the kid, yuh
Suddenly you avoidin friends
Disappear till they makin noise again
Guess it′s the way it goes, we met the end of the road
Even that ain′t turnin you boys to men
Caught up in a circle full of opportunists
Tried to play it cool, but they was not the smoothest
I ran outta room for yall on my to do list
Seen a lil bit of Jesus, seen a lotta Judas
Still made it through every kind of season
Without any rhyme or reason, had to find a reason
Even now I'm lookin for another line to squeeze in
And yall thought that I was givin yall the silent treatment
Not at all brother, gotta be careful wit who you call brother
I know that pride come before the fall brother
So Ima keep it mellow even when I ball brother
Speak now or forever hold ya peace
I′ve been known to preach over the coldest beats
But I never needed you to notice me
I'm just here to give you what was owed to me
Every test, every trial
Never flex for the crowd, they invested in now
But I bet they couldn′t even make it stretch for a mile
Promise I would never keep it nothin less than a thou
Dear Lord
I was stressed, I was down
I was pressed, nearly crushed, see the sweat from the brow
I got lost in the maze, in the flesh, runnin wild
Swallowed by the waves, outta breath, in denial
Now I honor every promise I confessed wit my vows
I got blessed wit a wife, blessed wit a child
I got blessed wit His life, cleansed by His stripes
What was mine from the start, I accepted it now
Every step that I took, one for the books
All sixty six, ask God how I look
Not a pawn, not a rook, but a king wit a crown
Any giant tryna run up on the team hit the ground, that's that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
