Hold On Lyrics - Singles - Caught In The Act

featuring Starr 

[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!

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!
