Hold On (2006 Remastered Version|Explicit) - Brand Nubian

Written by：Lord Jamar for 7G Productions

I'll keep holding on mm yea yea

I'll keep holding 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 motherf**ker 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 ni**a do the work of the klan

Thats 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 were buryin' wealth

All because weve been taught to despise what's black

Open your eyes you oughta realize the fact

That youve 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

I'll keep holdin' on yeah

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 thats that rappin' ni**a

I thought he was much bigger

Do you know this girl named Nah

B I don't know nothin'

Did that name game sh*t 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 f**ked nubain

Should I call you a b*tch

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 b******t when I'm quick to pull sh*t

Live dad everything is everything

I got a lotta sh*t 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 niggas I know is on the down low

Straight for real estate on a scale I place your fate

Now I'm a let you skate

You was a little weeded

And I seen you don't need it

So hold on with your bad self with your bad self

I'll keep holdin' on yeah

I'll keep holdin' on

I gotta hold on'

I'll keep holdin on

I gotta be strong

I'll keep holdin' on yeah

She's gettin' rough but I gotta hold on

Mother f**kers just won't leave me alone

Yeah yeaahh

Ya see she's gettin' rough but I gotta hold on

These little f**kers won't leave me alone

They won't leave me alone
