[Mikill Pane, Rocky Nti, Jakwob - Taking Hold lyrics]
Time and time again
I get reminded by my friends
That this life that I was sent
Could result in my untimely end
I hope that when I'm dead and gone
I leave a legacy of songs behind
And my tombstone says "here lies a man that
Said the shit that was on his mind"
And I tell you what's on my mind right now
Each and every one of you
Nobody else has fans like mine so
I see myself as lucky to be seen as an icon
Role model or hero among men
And I know big boys don't even cry for
Joy but the tears flow from my pen
And I don't know if you can feel it
But you're taking hold
But it is running through my bones
Yeah, it is running through my bones
And I don't know if I am dreaming
But you're taking hold taking hold
But you're taking hold
Some of you enjoyed him from the start
Most of you joined him along the path
You all agree that the boy does
A lot for the art
By rapping like he's avoiding the
Top of the chart
And you weren't trying to insult, but inspire
The honest remarks didn't turn
Into an assault cause
You had your fingers on the
Pulse of this writer and if he's on fire
He's burning cause you're the sulphur
I never did write for approval
So being accepted's quite unusual
But then again our lives are alike
Can't tell em apart
So if the shoe fit's, you're Marco
I never did wanna impress
I wanted to get the shit off of this chest
I couldn't agree that I was good with words
Till I knew the definition of success
And my peeps might not sell out
With what I speak about
But if the odd person comes, it evens out
Cause when I wrote my very first EP, I vowed
To set my sights low and three's a crowd
And I believe my material frees a crowd
So it's more than tracks
That I'm releasing now
I've got a better following than
I can tweet about
They reckon they can still see
Stars beneath the clouds
I get reminded by my friends
That this life that I was sent
Could result in my untimely end
I hope that when I'm dead and gone
I leave a legacy of songs behind
And my tombstone says "here lies a man that
Said the shit that was on his mind"
And I tell you what's on my mind right now
Each and every one of you
Nobody else has fans like mine so
I see myself as lucky to be seen as an icon
Role model or hero among men
And I know big boys don't even cry for
Joy but the tears flow from my pen
And I don't know if you can feel it
But you're taking hold
But it is running through my bones
Yeah, it is running through my bones
And I don't know if I am dreaming
But you're taking hold taking hold
But you're taking hold
