Got a Hold of Me

[Verse 1]
I'm stuck with the ball and chain shackled to my leg
The same cloud keeps pouring rain over my head
It's got a hold of me, the older we get, the harder it becomes
Forms a solid bond like a father to his son
Run down but never but never found at the bottom, I roll straight
Forgotten turned rotten like teeth with no Colgate
Cold takes your breath away, no better day
My heart starts to pulsate as old mates are led astray
Never wait till it's too late to turn back
No talk or do learn when you land firm flat
On ya face, you're concerned that the race is in trouble
The only one with the fresh air is the boy in the bubble
Polluted by money, addicted to power
You're endin' up fucked like you slipped in the shower
Hours to days and months turn to years
And you're still on the run from your fears

[Hook]
(Something) Somethin', somethin'
(Got a hold of me)
It's got a hold of me and won't let go
(Something) Somethin', somethin', somethin'
(Got a hold of me)
The weaker you get and the more it grows

[Verse 2]
A slave craving the taste, I'm addicted to the fixes
Irresistible feeling, the tender touch on my lips
Any risk I gotta take, break the law for more
Like "Michael, there's more in store, I just gotta reassure"
I'm breakin' the cycle, takin' the title, well when I bail
I'm hooked, imprisoned for life, boom, thrown in jail
Swallowed the key, seems to follow me far and wide
From four to five foot till to the floor doors will fly
Off hinges do walking my myself without a dilemma
When you wanna forget, it penetrates the centre
Of your mind, you can't hide it will find you like that
In time you going find that you're trapped

[Hook]
(Something) Something, something
(Got a hold of me)
It's got a hold of me and won't let go
(Something) Something, something, something
(Got a hold of me)
The weaker you get and the more it grows

[Verse 3]
You're drawn by a magnet magnified by a million
It effects all civilians, men, women and children
Till you're too tired to fight
[?] minimising your fly
Can't take off no energy to move, sending you loose
Sending you sixteen, too proud to admit
Your weakness meets your match up, a stature off death
Attackin' your chest, no time for catchin' your breath
It hatches a nest of bag eggs with bad habits
Wantin' somethin' so bad you know you shouldn't have it
But you do 'cause your crew got you under the thumb
But you only keep running from the one you've become
A tonne of weight on your shoulders holding you back
It's getting colder than the blank face that sold you the crap
I'm foldin' the map 'cause you're lost with nobody's help
The only person that can help is yourself (check)

[Hook]
(Something) Something, something
(Got a hold of me)
It's got a hold of me and won't let go
(Something) Something, something, something
(Got a hold of me)
The weaker you get and the more it grows
