candlefist

Hold it up
Hold it up

Always dated on the grief
There's sake to defeat
What is hidden and discreet
Too many labels that I see
Raiding tables with a team
False fables with a gleam
Tossed cradles and it's mean
But we'll make it, just read
Put a poster up and then storm through the street
Expressing hows the posture, it's calling out to me
Been happening for years so it ain't deep
Social stories make it easier for the rest to see
Raise a fist but don't cower when the trend ends
Can't be backing down when you strive for a difference
Speak with passion then act so you can blend friends
You never know what you could do with just a sentence
Break fences and show them what defense is
Read the census, we don't have expenses
Hate only condenses till it's senseless
What is offensive in the wrong lenses

Hold it up, hold it up
Either a candle or a fist nigga hold it up
Hold it up
Hold it up
Hold it up
Either a candle or a fist nigga hold it up

No matter where you stand, we on the same platform
Even when your backs torn, don't get the facts wrong
Steady on struggle street cause there's no cap on
Aspirations for the nations to reach that form
Where's the cap gone, only truth is in my vision
Can't confuse my greed with my ambition
Which is to get you to listen to some wisdom
Might not be me but it's still a mission
The television got sheep getting slaughtered
While the wolves are being trapped in a corner
Fangs out pans out to be deported
Kinda like the old days yeah well sorta
Why can't peace be afforded? It's for the rich
And life can be extorted, can call her bitch
Know less protest, go handle it
Raise your voice like it were a candlefist

Hold it up, hold it up
Either a candle or a fist nigga hold it up
Hold it up
Hold it up
Hold it up
Either a candle or a fist nigga hold it up

Hold it up
Get yourself a candle fist and just hold it up
Hold it up
Hold it up
Hold it up
Get yourself a candle fist and just hold it up
