[Intro]
I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my
I'm holding onto my dreams (Apollo)
[Chorus]
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my)
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my)
[Verse 1]
I'm glad to say I made it here (I made it here)
To see my children struggle is my greatest fear (My greatest fear)
I seen my mother struggle through my greatest years (My greatest years)
I wish I could've helped, but, shit, I'm just a kid
Me and my sister were a handful and I couldn't see
All that anger that you felt, feel like you put that on me
A single parent 'cause my father out herе runnin' the streets
But that don't mean that he is what I'll grow up to bе
So when I turned eighteen, I just had to leave, I had to go be free
Had to go out searchin' for myself, not hear 'bout what you seen
I had to make my own way up out, not take the path you lead
Sometimes I had to get my hands dirty 'til I could rinse them clean
It's not about the life you live, but the life you leave
And I could never fear a man if I know he bleed
And I will only do the things that I know work for me
I been workin' all week like I forgot to sleep
[Chorus]
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my)
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my)
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, yeah)
Just hold on (Squad life, Apollo, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Once I make it out the city, I ain't comin' back
Tell these niggas I'm gettin' rich and all they do is laugh
Boy, I'm out here makin' plays like a quarterback
Eatin' off of your plate, boy, you don't want that
My niggas know when I got it (I got it)
I plan to be ridin' in 'Raris (In 'Raris)
My clothes and my shoes are exotic
You walk in my closet, look like a safari
I got the game on lock and forgot the key
2018, better look out for me
In my own lane, ain't no passin' me
I should be on Ripley's 'cause I swear my life, you would not believe
Came up with who been down with me
Hold on, let me finish, if it wasn't for my niggas, I'd be dead or locked in prison, that's some real shit
I don't know how they stand to be around me, hard to deal with
I'm holdin' on to my dream 'til I am legend like I'm Will Smith
Niggas sittin' on they ass and still talkin' real slick
But they ain't makin' no moves 'cause they lack the ambition
Niggas don't be sayin' words and still claim that they spittin'
Nowadays, it's just a beat, a phrase in repetition
It's easy to see I'm what the game's been missin', Apollo (Squad)
[Chorus]
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my)
Just hold on (I'm holding onto my dreams, I'm holding onto my)
Just hold on
Just hold on (Yeah, Apollo)
[Outro]
Yeah, this the end
This the outro, I hope you liked it
I hope it was worth you listening
I hope you learned some things about me, you know
Hopefully this gives you a lil' inside look
I took my time makin' this, but I love it
I hope that you love it just the same
Apollo out, squad
