[Verse 1]
Stuff the Dutch to take away my pain and sorrows
What is to gain? Pray to Allah I see tomorrow
Blood in my veins is that of kings, I flip the cargo
Snakes showin' fangs, empty the drain at Wells Fargo
Openin' books of ancient knowledge
All the ice is rock solid, bury the skeletons in my closet
My life is more than entertainment
Bred out these streets so tainted, at times, I felt I wanted to trade it
But I made it, man, you n***as' raps outdated, don't degrade it
This is audio art that I painted, I awaited, I had to renovate it
At times I need a vacation, this game is irritatin'
And I don't wanna be a wasteman
Statistics say I'm just a product of the wasteland
That's why I keep the metal on the waistband
Meek said it's kings killin' kings, so keep it safe, fam
And stay awake, damn, they wanna buy your soul
Don't auction off your identity for the weight of gold
It's a long road, so use cruise control
And never lose control, hold your head and move the load
This realm is filled with tough luck and I-don't-give-a-fucks
It's fucked up, but you gotta suck it up, though it's rough
Also gotta stay out of them cuffs, they wanna turn you to dust
And gone in a gust

[Chorus]
When in doubt, you gotta carry on (Stay solid)
Life is too short, you won't be livin' long (Stay solid)
I won't give in, I write another song (Stay solid)
Pray to Allah, hope he right my wrongs
When in doubt, you gotta carry on (Stay solid)
Life is too short, you won't be livin' long (Stay solid)
I won't give in, I write another song (Stay solid)
Pray to Allah, hope he right my wrongs

[Verse 2]
I walk the streets with my bucket low
And if you ain't fuckin' with me, n***a, fuck it, though
If you been sleepin' on me, keep sleepin', though
'Cause I'll be Freddie in your nightmares when I'm creepin', yo
What comes around goes around, we all know
I'm steady payin' homage to the all-knowin'
A n***a melanated so I'm steady glowin'
And a n***a dedicated, so I'm steady growin'
