Hold On Strong

(album: Diversity - 2011)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
