[Verse 1: Ka]
From all the venomous savagery they had for me
When it's gone we’ll miss America, fuck all the pagentry
We can't be fixed on no fancy tricks too much disparity
There's been this cavity saddled over simple anatomy
Cause damn this place, Brooklyn-born [?] heavy-handed shakes
That’s a waste, won't catch me out here marching off abandoned faith
How they damn the race [?] can't stand the pace
Jakes scared of me with backup bullets, vests, and can of Mace
(Hold on, hold on, hold on
That just got me upset, man, lеt... let me get off that
Alright)
Truth bе told, beautiful soul over handsome face
Everything I state elevate, all they chants disgrace
My endeavor forever is to treasure what I can't replace
The cables [?] four thousand [?] the stakes
How I stand in [?] through many stages lonely
Love ain't just intimate, there's infinite ways to show me
I'm at the point where age can slow me, but not using a doctor
Peruvian maca and Asian Goji
How I acted through a phase back in the days, they would stone me
If you're produced to know your roots, stop naming our babies Tobey
For [?] doing time to raise a Rollie
Defend threats tryna reach my net like I was raised a goalie

[Hook 1: Joi]
Life’s cold winds, embrace nights it was frozen
Knowing one day we’ll be golden
To that hope I'm still holding
Still holding
To that hope I’m still holding
Still holding
[Verse 2: Ka & Joi]
You've told me [?] about my home, we know it as Brooklyn
With integrity, us being honorable when no one is looking
When I go dark they know who is cooking
It was a time before the drama stirred, wasn't shooken
Knowing one day we'll be golden
To that hope I’m still holding
Still-
Young [?], I remember only reach for low grapes
Hype trying to pipe in high school making slow tapes
Constant strife, wishing for life with no pains, no aches
Stables getting thinner till that winter had some snowflakes
Lost friends in the dope chase, out of town cold case
The big apple is factual, can't live papal with no papes
If one of my ahks is rocking might pop in and show face
All my family got broke, folks never needed probate

[Hook 2: Joi]
Life's cold winds, embrace nights it was frozen
Knowing one day we'll be golden
To that hope I'm still holding
Still holding, holding
To that hope I'm still holding
Holding, creative but to face life's hopeless
Embrace nights it was frozen
Knowing one day we'll be golden
To that hope I'm still holding
Holding, holding
To that hope I'm still holding
Holding
To that hope I'm still holding
Holding, holding
To that hope I'm still-
