Hold On
Brand Nubian

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

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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah
