[Intro]
Yeah

[Chorus]
Said we was pressing through the shine, now we here
And we ain't got the time, we can't revel in fear
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose, yeah
Said we was pressing through the shine, now we here
And we ain't got the time, we can't revel in fear
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose, yеah

[Verse]
Hold my nose, hold my breath
Take it stеp by step off the porch
Where predecessors pass the torch, then y'all can rest
Need my words to live forever, ain't no safety in the vest
Prematurely winning over shit that safely I confess
So lately, I been stressing all my brothers, we don't need to rest
Control of your fate get erased 'cause they tryna keep us in our place
That dishonest take get you whacked in the face
By grace, I'm alive, I'll be damned if I'm anything but great
Be ducking the climb, I'm trucking 'bout mine and seeking whatever that mountain take
Remove 'em 'cause they move at a fountain's pace
To know time and place and to persevere is everything it could ever take
Word to Earl, I could bend, but could never break
And you feel my shine 'cause with my time, ain't shit I can fake
Treading out of this lake of hate and dismay
Gotta keep pace, we ain't saving the day
And my saving grace in my DNA, we Black
That leave me with two choices, get left or I can adapt
[Bridge]
My n***a, my n***a, I'm gon' hit that climb with you
My n***a, my n***a, I'm gon' split that pie with you
My n***a, my n***a, I'm gon' hit that climb with you
My n***a, my n***a, I'm gon' split that pie with you (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Said we was pressing through the shine, now we here
And we ain't got the time, we can't revel in fear
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose, yeah
Said we was pressing through the shine, now we here
And we ain't got the time, we can't revel in fear
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose
Need to hold my nose, my nose, my nose, yeah
