Hold On Strong - Gentleman

I see dem standing at dem border

While the struggle is getting harder

Keep on praying to the father

Every thing you try in a your life

Dem want to stop you

I don t know why but they think they got to

Hold on strong and never let dem flop you

Never let the wicked heart a trap you —

Oh no no no (repeat)

I’m on the move ya know

Must make it true somehow

I got to take it to the top and that’s my only vow

And when the heathen range

To me it s nothing strange

You’ve been trying it so long but still me nuh go change

I tell the youths to pray

Strive for a better days strive for a better way — strive

One day you’II get your pay

No matter what dem say

You got to stay alive

Every thing you try in a your life

Dem want to stop you

I don t know why but they think they got to

Hold on strong and never let dem flop you

Never let the wicked heart a trap you —

Oh no no no (repeat)

Jah jah say throw down your arms and come

Put away your gun

The righteous nuh promote none

Time to have some fun

Where you ago run run when the creator come

Now me know what you’re about

Don’t try to get me out

Cause a god alone make the sunshine

Unleash deception from your mouth

Or your fire a go out

Fix up your conscience nuh bad mind

Every thing you try in a your life

Dem want to stop you

I don t know why but they think they got to

Hold on strong and never let dem flop you

Never let the wicked heart a trap you —

Oh no no no (repeat)

I can see the way you living

Your ism and your skism

Show me that you walking on chalkliner

And the very ditch you digging

The games that you rigging

Your told me say you do it more than one time

One day we find our time and place

We doing it with grace

Doing it we own a leisure we nuh ina haze

Sometimes you need your space to trump um an ace

Just remember haze make ways

Every thing you try in a your life

Dem want to stop you

I don t know why but they think they got to

Hold on strong and never let dem flop you

Never let the wicked heart a trap you —

Oh no no no (repeat)
