Lyrics

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong Don't let it get away from you Do whatcha gotta do I know it gets hard sometimes To find a little piece of mind Gotta stay focused, gotta stay strong To all my people, hold on To what you have inside I know it hurts but don't cry Life is gonna go on With or without you, hold on Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong Don't let it get away from you Do whatcha gotta do Taking care of home and family Sometimes it's hard to keep your sanity Thinkin' what about my fantasies Will my dreams come true If I stay emotionless Release myself from all the stress Don't blame it all on you To myself, I'll be true We trade in our stability For all types of insecurities Now tell me what is to become Of me If I let myself stress Every time life throws me a test Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong Don't let it get away from you Do whatcha gotta do Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong Don't let it get away from you Do whatcha gotta do We trade in our stability (yes we did) For all types of insecurities Now tell me what is to become Of me If I let myself stress Every time life throws me a test Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong Don't let it get away from you Do whatcha gotta do Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong Don't let it get away from you Do whatcha gotta do You gotta fake Even higher power Even all money power Lord Jesus Do whatcha gotta do Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on Holdin' on to something true To what feels good to you Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong
