LaCue, Sylvan - Maybe I Should Lyrics
Should I even hold on?
Should I even hold on?
Early morning, this ceiling's is too familiar
Smell the stench on my clothing
Wake up knowing I'm fucking broke, I can't even fix me a sandwich
But you can cut these records and dream a vision that trumps everything you seen through your eyes
My mother's waiting, my brother is feeling tired
A grown man, as I suffered through family ties
Sit at home alone where everyone's working tryna survive
Fuck, you can see it in the way I'm frontin'
I clean the house everyday to feel like I'm doing something
Plus I contribute nothing
These bills pile, see my mother fake her smile
Hoping all this music shit I'm doing now is worthwhile
Her compassion's what I come to cherish
Man, I know I'm after something more
But these times make me question what's in store
Should I even hold on?
Should I even hold on?
The worlds telling me there's nothing here to see
Got me wondering if I should go on
Man, now should I even hold on?
Should I even hold on?
It's road block after road block
Tell me how exactly am I supposed to go on
I stop myself so I don't get excited
These are usually the moments when you'll face a tyrant
Hopes up, hopes up, watch 'em fall
You wonder why you should even believe at all
I'm caught between who I am
Caught between who I think I should be to this fickle land
Caught between who I want me to be
What my family wants me to see
What the fans and industry's needs
I hate to think about it, but what if like
What if like I don't master my full potential
And I become less than my supposed credentials
A slave to "could've been"
Stuck in my oldest residential like
"I woulda did it, but, shit just wasn't efficient,"
I'm always thinking excessive
You feel the hunger
I'm desperate more than ever, the tone's becoming aggressive
My lord, it's not a question though I'm after something more
But these times make me wonder what's in store
Should I even hold on?
Should I even hold on?
The worlds telling me there's nothing here to see
Got me wondering if I should go on
Man, now should I even hold on?
Should I even hold on?
It's road block after road block
Tell me how exactly am I supposed to go on
I used to work as a janitor cleaning toilets
Took the bus like every morning to this office space
Sad to see the faces on these workers
One came to me looking nervous
Told me no matter what, "Always try to search for your purpose
Or you might just, end up like me
I'm 45 and drive a Bentley
Decent wife, but I hate the life that I chose"
Damn, made me stop and think to myself
All the shit you come to accomplish has made you a living hell
I guess it ain't what it seem
A part of me should appreciate that I'm chasing a dream
But I'm a realist, and a part of me would rather be stable
Normal shit, guess for me that wasn't placed on the table
Past decisions, everything was made to be instant
"I need it now, I need it now"
Nobody told me settle down and just focus your efforts
Mother and I were at odds, father was hot headed
Shit to him was Wizard of Oz
My ex was holding me back
Was too concerned with being married, I carried a sense of guilt to any damage even buried
I forced, myself to grow up
Take on responsibilities that were out of my league
Boxed in, I couldn't breathe
"Write raps, whatever G, you see this shit that I'm going through?"
To, stressing and tired, meanwhile I'm losing it all
Apartment, the job, the car
Materialism, what kept me in prison
I guess I wasn't honestly living admit it
Back at my mama's like I never left
I'm crying tears tryna catch my breath
I been here too many times
I can't take it, I can't take it, first time I contemplated death
Peace to the dearly departed
You know it's real when you find yourself back when you started
My Lord
You knew that there was so much more in store
I guess it would be crazy to ignore
Maybe I should hold on
[QuESt & Mom:]
[*Knock*]
Come in
I'm going to work
Make sure to take out the Pork Chops later today
Also clean up this house, it's filthy in here
And make sure you look for a job too if you get a chance
I'll be back around 5

LaCue, Sylvan Maybe I Should Comments
This is great. Also i doubt id get a reply but whats the name of that instrumental that starts at 4:03? Sounds so soothing
❤❤❤
I swear your talking to me...
Sylvan Lacue the most underrated rapper in the game. I’m sorry you don’t get the respect you deserve bc this is truly beautiful music
This was one of the most impactful projects I’ve heard. I was dealing with a similar struggle.
Roadblock after roadblock tell me how exactly I’m supposed to go on?? This whole album.. thank you for writing this
Quest / sylvan Lacue is and has been my favorite lyrisist for a few years so real only love and good vibes your way stay elevated in mental health and positive vibration bless you for helping so many with there struggles by revealing your soul in so many good songs keep doing you
The best album when dealing with lifes ups and downs. Thank you Sylvan!
This guys ahead of the times
I think he held on alright
It's crazy how I prayed to God to show me the way cause I know I'm lost. I know I'm chasing for a better life but damn it's so hard to figure out my purpose. Love the part when the guy told you not to stop finding your purpose. Even fucking relatable when you said you came back to your mom's house and you know you've come back to the place you started. I feel you man. I legitley cry myself to sleep these past two days. I just want to do more for myself bro. It's sucks. Life is getting fought for me I just got to keep on pushing.
Gustavo Alaniz stay strong bro God will help you fulfill your purpose. This world does everything it can to fuck wit you but focus on Him and you'll be good. This song is so real for me it's like someone wrote it about my own life. (Except I don't rap)
man.. I used to listen to this song every day before work. I would sometimes even be late just to finish it. I felt lost and stuck at mu job, but I didnt know What I wanted to do. now im enrolling in college to become a surgical assistant physician... thanks Bro.
This song resonates with me. Your music is real, written eloquently, and nice on the ears. I hope you continue to make music and find enjoyment in it because I certainly do!
This song was my soundtrack to January of last year, when I had to come home from University from a disastrous first semester
Here before you blow up
I listen to this song everyday man
I still listen to this song and still show people and people are still amazed.
I heard this song today in my dreams 0_0
This is better than anything kendricks ever put out I don't give a shit what u say
Kendrick heaven and hell
this song is amazing but relax with that Kendrick is one of the goats
Damn. this still gets me. Never stop making music man.
Should I even hold on ?
Straight up told it how it is. beautiful
Why am I just now hearing this...
Quest I know you are not probably going to read this cheesy compliment but this song truly changed my life. I was a dishwasher at a restaurant working a shitty job so I could pay for my college career that I hated. This song resonated so well, I actually quit that shitty job and decided to do what I had a passion for. And a year and a half later I am here with more money than I would've made coming out of college doing something I absolutely love. It's a shame you are not recognized more, you literally changed my life with your music and that is something I will never forget. I cannot wait till the day you make it man, honestly I am praying for you brother. Keep spitting that FIRE, and make it big! truly an inspiration! #WISEUP
+MK3504 Man, that's super humbling to here dude. Thank you tons! It definitely means the world to me that my music could help you to make decisions to change your life. WiseUp indeed my friend, I'm proud of you.
+Sylvan LaCue To anyone reading this, type in "what to do after college." Even if you didn't finish or go to college. It's the first result. Uploaded by Gary Vaynerchuk.
I actually almost cried
a message everyone can relate to from all walks of life
This is so fucking real it hurts. Beautifully inspirational. Thank you for this
Literally dropped tears from this song, too relateable man. Thank you Sylvan for verbalizing what I couldn't
This is my motivation every morning when I get up for work to start my day.
Keep up the great work and continue making great music!
You're fucking great man keep up the good work
