Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
You got the power if you look deep inside
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go

You struggle through your days, workin' then you out
If God ain't in charge, that's all it be about
No doubt, oh yeah, listen to this here
If He got my back then whom shall I fear

Forgive, forget, the tears and the sorrow
Keep your head up, because there's always tomorrow
Put the Lord first, be strong, you can't go wrong
Love is on the way if you just pray, and hold on

Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
You got the power if you look deep inside
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go

Met jealous people, prayed, tell it, I wouldn't make it
But opportunity knocked, I had to take it
Never fake it, 'cause I be down with the King
He's running everything, so I sing, like the family

When you feel the pressure goin' on and you're stressed
Your life is in a mess, this is just a test
God is with you, so people be strong
You can take the whole world on, now keep it moving

Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
You got the power if you look deep inside
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go

I ain't trippin' over nothin', that's right, I count my blessings
Studyin' my words, steady tryin' to learn my lesson, yeah
There's madness in this world, check me out, I ain't stressin', word
Knowledge is the key, joy and peace, the essence, true that

Do unto others, don't disrespect your mothers
Lend a helping hand to your sisters and your brothers
Trust God, uh, that's all you gotta do
He'll take care of you, now all praises due

All praises due to the most high
To the most high keep your head up to the sky

So you wanna know why
Praise the Lord everyday, that's how I get high

Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go

He brought me through some hard times, it was mad, rough
I thought, I couldn't handle it, uh, I had enough
But all praises due to the most high
You kept me alive when I could have died

My God, I think I got to say, 'Hallelujah'
You still loved me, when I never even knew ya'
Here's to the Man, clap your hands to the song
Sounds of Blackness, Salt and Pepa say, 'Peace y'all and hold on'
