Grab Hold

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Akrobatik] I had a lover and I let her go free You know what happened next? She came back to me Lost my job - didn't let it fuck up my head A year later had five times as much bread My heart was broken and I let that shit heal And jumped out the box as the fucking man of steel Lost my best friend - didn't follow his path Instead I'm carrying his legacy through my lyrical math My brother got locked up When he checked his commissary though, my name always popped up It's something every woman and man should know Never lose your soul over something you can't control It's found in the Serenity Prayer I ain't religious, but I found a certain energy there If it's something I can control, you better beware But if not - I'm still plenty prepared, because you can't be [Chorus:] Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control (There's no end when you're) Trying to grab hold of what you can't control (You can't win when you're) Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control There's no end... [Verse 2: Mr. Lif] My tour bus crashed yet everybody lived And I'm here this year With more music to give My dad left the crib Over shit he hid He stopped loving my mom Yet my mom got strong I've lost some relationships but gained wisdom And found keys when regret was my prison I've listened to sounds of anguish Become a language And feed the famished I've seen the homeless Flip a dope rhyme off the dome just To prove they hadn't drowned in their (own) aloneness I know this.. Earth cracked open & split Just to birth new land we call continents I've heard a volcanic eruption Sound like production The bass was thumping The clouds was moving And sprouting humans I've seen illusions Be time consuming You can't keep... [Chorus:] Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control (There's no end when you're) Trying to grab hold of what you can't control (You can't win when you're) Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control There's no end... [Verse 3:] (There's storms on the horizon) Storms that we can see (Storms within you) And storms within me Upsetting the motion of the ocean & the seas But never leaving me another broken entity Centuries vent to me Til time's just mindless We stood there using the years to reminds us (Removing the blinders) But soon as we blinked Species went instinct And the polar caps shrink Ak, what you think? I'm puzzled like the riddle of the sphinx I disagree with all of the misery Because talking to history is only one side of the coin We really need the future to join Combining and designing til were flying High from our findings Brighten those horizons Rising above the clouds to new pinnacles Setbacks could never limit you as long as you're not... [Chorus:] Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control (There's no end when you're) Trying to grab hold of what you can't control (You can't win when you're) Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control Trying to grab hold of what you can't control There's no end...
