Brand Nubian - Hold On Lyrics

Send "Hold On" ringtone to your cell

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

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

Now a days 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

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

I'll keep holdin' on

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 with your 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

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 yeah

Ya see life's gettin' rough but i gotta hold on

All these little suckers want me alone

Yeah they want me alone

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
