[Chorus]
You gotta hold on (Hold on, don't let go)
My darlin' (My darlin' don't you know)
You've got the power (You've got the power if you look deep inside)
Yeah
Just let God be your light
He'll make it alright (And He'll make it alright)
Don't let go, don't let go

[Verse 1]
You struggle through your days, work and 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
Help is on the way if you just pray, and hold on

[Chorus]
You gotta hold on (Hold on, don't let go)
My darlin' (My darlin' don't you know)
You've got the power
(You've got the power if you look deep inside)
Yeah
Just let God be your light
He's gonna make it alright (And He'll make it alright), oh
(Don't let go) Don't ever let go, don't let go, no, no
[Verse 2]
Met jealous people, prayed, (Tell it), I wouldn't make it
But opportunity knocked, ha, 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

[Chorus]
Just hold on (Hold on, don't let go)
My darlin' (My darlin' don't you know)
You've got the power
(You've got the power if you look deep inside)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just let God be your light
He'll make it alright (And He'll make it alright), oh yeah
(Don't let go) Mmm, mmm, don't let go

[Verse 3]
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
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
[Bridge]
All praises due (All praises due) to the Most High (To the Most High)
To the Most High, keep your head up to the sky
So you wanna know why
Praise the Lord every day, that's how I get high
I, uh, won't just get by
Can't do me nothin' 'cause God is on my side
All praises due (All praises due) to the Most High (To the Most High)
To the Most High, keep your head up to the sky
Don't let go

[Chorus]
Oh, you gotta hold on (Hold on, don't let go)
My darlin' (My darlin' don't you know)
You've got the power if you look deep inside
Just let God be your light, and He'll make it alright
He'll make it alright
(Don't let go, don't let go

[Verse 4]
You brought me through some hard times, it was mad rough (No doubt)
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 coulda died
My God, I think I got to say, "Hallelujah"
You still loved me when I never even knew ya (Yeah)
Here's to the Man, clap your hands to the song
Sounds of Blackness, Salt-N-Pepa sayin', "Peace y'all and hold on"
[Chorus]
Hold on (Hold on, don't let go)
