"HOLD ON"

{Intro}

New (3x) Uh...new (3x)! 

New ci-ty life (2x)! My scars was the price, to claim...all my right!

______________________________________

{First Verse}

Came from the dirt...now i'm on a kill/

--Gimme a minute and imma tell you how it feels/

Made it through the racket/

Devil thought my dreams would never really happen...held years distractions/

Tried to wreck havoc...tried to have my pain outweigh all my laughin'/

Tried to have it lead into my new age bracket/

--Got sick of thinkin' 'bout another early casket/

--So I worked my magic/

--Now i'm takin' action/

Stopped the stress 'cause suicide won't lead to tragic/

God knows my joy and he knows all my asking/

Now my joy is sweet like season's open passes...sweeter than molasses/

And i'm back wit' passion/

--Glad he showed me the way, with my new habits/

Anytime of the day, i'm up for any gladness/

--Keep my music runnin' better everytime I blast it...while I keep stackin'/

______________________________________

{Hook}

C'mon now (2x)/

I'm telling you what its like to break...through/

--Chained doors just to make your moves/

Push...beyond the limit thats DEEP inside of YOU/

--My experience was on my own/

Relocating to a new location, growing my back...bone/

When i'm on my O-O-OWN/

I'll HOLD ON/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

Despite my greatness...I hold my ground/

Devil throws big curves just to slow me down/

Haters talk behind my back when i'm never around/

And when i'm all up in ya face you never make a sound/

Its 'cause you know what i'm about...know my struggle was long/

Tell it by my emotions...heard in my songs/

Look into my eyes, see all the failure is gone/

Love me or hate me baby don't forget I ALWAYS stay strong/

And even though it wasn't always easy/

To maintain my composure under situations so breezy/

I learned that self-pity...can be greedy/

So I stopped the pity for a better opportunity (yes)/

I moved to a new city for the best/

Detached from my past, yes I finally grew a set/

Now i'm seein' new faces that I never would have guessed/

--To be applau-ding for my studio success (uh)/

______________________________________

{Hook 2}

C'mon now (2x)/

I'm telling you what its like to break...through/

--Chained doors just to make your moves/

Push...beyond the limit thats DEEP inside of YOU/

--My experience was on my own/

Relocating to a new location, growing my back...bone/

Now i'm on a RO-O-OLL/

'Cause...I...HOLD ON/
