Hold On Tight (Feat. Wiz Khalifa & Foster The People)

[Intro]
O— yeah.
Uh-huh.
Okay, let’s go.

[Chorus]
Steppin' in dark like a true spirit (Spirit)
Their old ways keep causing a tantrum (Tantrum)
Woke mind, I set the whole vibe lit (Vibe lit)
My words, they're the new nation's anthem (Anthem)
Forget gold, I crave true freedom (Freedom)
My folk now pushing new narratives (Narratives)
Got minds shifting all over
'Cause I'm conscious, sharp and I'm grounded (Alright)
If they spill lies, then I'll challenge them (Challenge them)
Their old views, they're now abandoned (Abandoned)
They've never brought no insight, blud
They've never shown no true traction
Nah, I'm centered on my purpose (Purpose)
Justice, spirit, and wisdom (Wisdom)
Their hate and fear feel hollow (Woah)
In the long run, it's just a distraction (Hey, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Media wanna paint me poor, angry, and dim, fam
But I know my spirit’s glowing, gifted, a true star, fam
Blud, what false promises are they brewing now?
Always find a way to make a come-up when
No one is watching the game anyhow
Yeah, Saint George was a melanin man, you heard it clear and loud
I'm embedding truth in the Union Jack, emerging from the clouded shroud
She wants me back in her space, the magnetic pull is potent
Think I'm a threat? Mate, I absolutely am, unapologetic and outspoken
They holler 'bout my laziness, then scream I snatch their daily chore
Their filter bubble's driving me insane, can't take their contradictions no more
Just silence your prejudiced chatter, mate, just quieten your loud gob
Your double standards ain't slick, nah, they just clearly expose your twisted mob.

[Chorus]
Steppin' in dark like a true spirit (Spirit)
Their old ways keep causing a tantrum (Tantrum)
Woke mind, I set the whole vibe lit (Vibe lit)
My words, they're the new nation's anthem (Anthem)
Forget gold, I crave true freedom (Freedom)
My folk now pushing new narratives (Narratives)
Got minds shifting all over
'Cause I'm conscious, sharp and I'm grounded (Alright)
If they spill lies, then I'll challenge them (Challenge them)
Their old views, they're now abandoned (Abandoned)
They've never brought no insight, blud
They've never shown no true traction
Nah, I'm centered on my purpose (Purpose)
Justice, spirit, and wisdom (Wisdom)
Their hate and fear feel hollow (Woah)
In the long run, it's just a distraction (Hey, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I’m black, confident, standing tall, and I'm firmly here to stay
Nigel, that political trickster, he's rich while your pockets are empty every day
Do I need to spell it out, the blatant truth for you to comprehend?
Their divisive games benefit them, a broken cycle that will never mend.
I’m woke, black, and handsome, carrying ancient wisdom's light
I’ve come to claim my sacred birthright, shining ever so bright.
She wants me in her chamber tonight, drawn to the powerful vibe within
Edmonton, this ain't just a borough; it's my kingdom where my spirit can begin.
This is my land, my story, carved in every brick and every tree
From the roots of my ancestors, this vibrant legacy lives through me.
So tell your bigots, your naysayers, their time of fear is truly done
We’re rewriting the future now, beneath the rising, liberating sun.

[Bridge]
Yeah, the rhythm of resistance beats steady, deep in my soul's core
Got that old school soul, with a fresh fire, pushing them to explore
They call us threats, but we just shine, too bright for their dim eyes to ever truly see
This heritage ain't borrowed, it's woven into the very fabric of me.
(Soulful vocal ad-lib: "Oh, it's mine, it's mine, yeah...")

[Chorus]

It's Just A Distraction
