Holding On

I'm holding on

Dem nuh rate mi, seh dem hate mi

Seh mi fall off, nut'n could save mi

Seh mi career flop, seh how mi ting drop

I'll never rise up, neva could come back

Call mi feisty, seh mi crazy

Seh mi lazy, dem always amaze mi

One bag a ting dem a say 'bout mi

One bag a ting dem a chat lately

But I'm holding on, I'm holding on

Tryna mek it through di storm, I'm holding on

I'm holding on, I'm holding on

Dis ma life, man gotta be tough, man gotta be strong

Touch di road, Father God, protect mi head back

Haters waan see mi dead and a nuh joke dat

Dem nuh waan see mi money inna stack

Dem nuh waan see mi build di house pon di hilltop

All dem a pree and a try

Fi mash up mi life, still mi rise

Father God know mi born fi survive

Sometimes yuh haffi play fool fi be wise

Let me tell you a story 'bout a king, wah neva coulda win

Born inna Flanker, neva had a ting

Every day him a suffer, every day a di same

Nobody know how we stay

But in his heart was a burning flame

A young, wise soldier, neva coulda tame

Suh they call him crazy, call him insane

Tommy Lee was his bloodclaat name

They neva know he was born a king

Neva know he would rise to fame

Neva know di bwoy coulda bloodclaat sing

Neva know seh him woulda headline Sting

But every ting mi build, dem try fi destroy

Dem mash up every ting mi love and enjoy

Di weirdest ting a end was neva my choice

I wonder if yuh hear di pain in my voice

I'm holding on, I'm holding on

Tryna mek it through di storm, I'm holding on

I'm holding on, I'm holding on

These streets man rough, man gotta be tough, man gotta be strong

Dem nuh rate mi, seh dem hate mi

Seh mi career flop, seh how mi ting drop

I'll never rise up, never could come back

Dem nuh rate mi, seh dem hate mi

Dem call mi feisty, seh mi crazy

Seh mi lazy, dem always amaze mi

But I'm holding on, I'm holding on

Seh mi career flop, nut'n could save mi

Tryna mek it through di storm, I'm holding on

I'm holding on, I'm holding on

Dis ma life, man gotta be tough, man gotta be strong

Seh dem hate mi, seh mi fall off

Nut'n could save mi, seh mi lazy

Seh mi career flop, seh how mi ting drop

I'll never rise up, neva could come back

Dem call mi feisty, neva could come back

Neva could come back, neva could come back

Call mi feisty, seh mi crazy

Seh mi lazy, dem always amaze mi

One bag a ting dem a say 'bout mi

One bag a ting dem a chat lately

But I'm holding on, I'm holding on

Tryna mek it through di storm, I'm holding on
