KRS-One - Hold lyrics

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 CO'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 what you 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
