Holding Firm

(album: Words Of Truth - 2000)

Whoa ooh whoa oooh oooh
Hail Jah, eh ey
Always hailing him

I've been here all day of my life
Works good and queer I behold with my sight
Some will share, others do as they like
Some, yuh flesh dem waah tear with dem fork and knife
Some don't care their heart is like ice
After kill another them rejoice

[CHORUS:]
But I'm holding firm
Every man deserve to earn
Jah Jah crown our plan with success
Holding firm
Every man deserves to earn
You won't sink I in the mess

You say I'm rude, it's an attitude yeah
I done choose, I don't lose, so go on your way
Money is the order of your day
Choosing your wealth, that won't stay
What you come to prove, I done choose and den
Tell them diss me and a love me include
Heavy obstacles I a move, cyah eat I food
Jah alone a earn tha reprove

[CHORUS:]
Holding firm
Every man deserve to earn

Ah hear you nah hear, but neglect you a neglect
