LEGALLY SELECTED #3: WE WAS HOLDING ON

Starting off in a prison, then heading to Dresden and Arizona. But wait, where have all the flowers gone?

But Lily Scott was absolutely not your mail-order, room-service
Typecast, black grandmother
I was moved in with her
Temporarily, just until things were patched
Till this was patched and till that was patched
Until I became at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10
The patch that held Lily Scott who held me and like them four
I become one more and I loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones
And we was holdin’ on
