Hold On Lyrics by Brand Nubian

Hold On Lyrics

    [Starr]
    I'll keep, holding on
    I'll keep, holding on!

    [Lord Jamar]
    Young black male, twenty-five years of age
    Many-a-lives didn't survive to this stage
    Cause the rage of another brother got him popped
    Shot him and he dropped, like a beanbag
    Mean motherfucker with a rag and some jeans that sag
    They signify your death by crossin out your tag
    Then they go and brag that they took another life
    Never to think, do a brother got a mother and a wife?
    Trife when a nigga do the work of the Klan
    That's what you're doin when you ruin the life of a black man
    Attack plan on self
    The man's got the family jewels, so I guess we're buryin wealth
    All because we've been taught to despise what's black
    Open your eyes you oughta realize the fact
    That you've been gettin used like a trick
    You think you're mighty, but yo, whitey got your head sick
    See you were fed thick pieces of swine as a baby

    It only help to drive your mind crazy
    Now your blind days be over
    No more standin on line, tryin to find Jehovah
    Let us rewind to a time we was right and just
    Nowadays we just fight and bust
    One another in the back over crack, a carjack
    Will get you killed, watch the blood get spilled
    To the scale, then watch how fast they build the jail
    Now they got you holdin on to a cell, well...

    [Starr]
    I'll keep, holdin on
    I'll keep, holdin on!!
    I'll keep, holdin on
    I'll keep, holdin on!!

    [Sadat X]
    Why it gotta be me B? I just came to chill
    Came to see the flicks, nuttin more nuttin less
    Try to show love even on a bad day
    I roll up, I'm never hold up, the L is swoll up
    The beef in the mind is definitely a winner
    Oh that's that rappin nigga, I thought he was much bigger
    Do you know this girl named nah B I don't know nothin
    Did that name-game shit right from the go get
    Shorty want an autograph, can I sign it at the end
    Oh I think I'm all of that now, so now it's fuck Brand Nubian
    Should I call you a bitch, or should I maintain?
    I'm just here with my lady, and you came witcha man
    This would force him to front, and I'm sure he don't want it
    Over some old bullshit, when I'm quick to pull shit
    Live dad, everything is everything
    I got a lotta shit to do I can't afford to catch a charge
    I'm a product of the streets, and I couldn't make no peace
    All the real hard shit I know, is on the down low
    Straight for real estate, on a scale I place your fate
    Now I'ma let you skate, you was a little weeded
    And I seen you don't need it
    So hold on with your bad self...

    [Starr]
    I'll keep, holdin on
    I'll keep, holdin on!!
    I gotta hold on!
    I'll keep, holdin on
    My word is bond, I gotta be strong
    I'll keep, holdin on!!
    And keep holdin on, yeah
    Ya see life's gettin rough but I gotta hold on
    All these little suckers want me alone
    Yeah, yeah, yeahhh!!
    Ya see life's gettin rough but I gotta hold on
    All these little suckers want me alone
    Yeah, they want me alone
    Yeah, yeah yeah
    But I gotta hold on
    Because my word is bon
    And it's on and on, on and on, on and on
    On ya...
    I gotta hold on
    Yeah yeah yeahhhh yeah yeahhh yeahhh
    Ohhhhh yeahh yeahh yeah
    Yeahh!
