[Intro]

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh, hey, oh, c'mon

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Say what? Ayy, say what? Oh, ayy, oh

Yeah, woah, woah

[Verse 1]

I told my mama as-salamu, I'ma make it and never forget her

Stackin' bread and stackin' the cheddar

Who woulda known I would have traveled off of writing letters?

Who woulda known I'd have a job making these instrumentals? Yeah, woah

Some days are better than others

I know I was the shoulder for the tears of my mother

This around the time when my parents divorced

Same time when my faith finally taken course, yeah

My biggest fear is losin' my wife and all my Christian heroes, yeah, they cheated once or twice

Makin' me think if I'm next in line

If my light gon' shine? Do my eyes go blind?

I know the Devil wanna silence on my name

Growing up, trying to find my way

I'm just tryna dodge the flames

I been gettin' tied away, I'm tryna wait

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Do you ever see inside?

Do you ever see inside?

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Do you ever see inside?

Do you ever see inside? See inside

[Verse 2]

Yeah, woah, woah, I told my people that the root of evil is the love of moolah

Gems of wisdom in my head, you can ask the jeweler

I had to get it through my thick skull, my medulla

Before the snakes slitherin', gotta duck Medusa, wusa

Why we do bad? We gotta lose that

And from the jump, I was trying not to be a nuisance

Who that? Who that? The heathen that was lost and found

Yeah, yeah, I had an episode, yeah, I had enough, uh

Hope they understand my words at the Dove's, yeah

You the type to go crazy on the keyboard

'Til you see me with the homies at the front door

Got it, Timmy Timmy, yeah, we gon' eat

Hope it ain't the last supper that we gon' feast

They tryna kill me like Jesus at thirty-three

I hope they see me as the brother, not the enemy

[Break]

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh, hey, oh, c'mon

Hold on, hold on, hold on (Say what? Say what?)

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Do you ever see inside?

Do you ever see inside?

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Do you ever see inside?

Do you ever see inside? See inside
