Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about it (Oh, yeah)
I wanna tell you about it
Let me tell you
[Verse 2]
I've been gone, gone so long
Just wanna sing, sing my song
I know you've been hearing
Hearing a lot of things 'bout me (Oh-whoa)
[Verse 3]
Oh, I know, I know (I know, I know)
I've heard, I've heard it, heard it all too clear
This is what I'm gonna do, yeah
[Verse 4]
(Hey, what you gonna do about it?) I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold, hold on
Hold on to my pride, my pride (Oh, I'm gonna)
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick (Stick)
I'm gonna stick to my guns
Gonna stick to my guns, yeah
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger (Put my finger on the trigger)
I'm gonna pull it (I'm gonna pull)
And then we gon' see what the deal (What the deal)
I'm for real (I'm for real)
I just wanna put it on, put it on the line, yeah
That's all I wanna do
I've gotta put it on the line
[Verse 6]
And we haven't got much time, oh yeah
I've gotta put it, put it on the line (Huh)
Know what I'm talking about this evening
Said I get to put it, oh, yeah
I've gotta put it on the line (Listen to me)
[Verse 7]
Say, I've got a bullet in the chamber
And I'm not afraid of danger
I said, we've gotta go down, down to the wire
I'll go through the fire with you
Kill and die with you
[Verse 8]
Said I know everybody watching me
I said the pressure is on from every angle
Political to personal (Political, political to personal)
Will I hang or get left hangin'?
Will I fall off, or is it bangin'?
And I say it's up to God
It's up to the man upstairs
[Verse 9]
But all I gotta do is
(Hold) Hold
(Hold on) Hold on to my pride
I gotta hold on (My pride)
To my pride
(I'm gonna stick) Said I'm gonna stick
(Stick) I'm gonna stick
I'm gonna stick to my guns
(Oh) Gonna stick to my guns, yeah
[Verse 10]
Oh, I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger (Put my finger on the trigger)
I'm gonna pull it (I'm gonna pull)
And then we gon' see what the deal, baby (What the deal)
[Verse 11]
I'm for real, yeah (I'm for real)
I just wanna put it
Oh, put it on the line, yeah
Somebody out there knows what I'm singing about
Would you help? Sing along
[Verse 12]
Said the stakes high, yeah
It's the moment of truth
And if I can hold on, hold on
I'm sure everything will be alright
[Verse 13]
Oh, put it on the line
