I keep holding on to what I've got
Holding, holding, holding
Yo, they say life is a bitch, and I know that it is
Cuz I've walked through the fire and I've seen many lives with a hope and a dream get ditched but that's what coping is
Put a little bit of hope in this, and we can all try to make things right and just get by with a bit of forgiveness, cuz the lord is my witness
And only god can judge me, so I don't care what they say yet I do it my way you can hate me or love me, but don't hate cuz you think that I'm lucky
I've worked hard now trust me, it ain't all lovely, life gets ugly
But now I know that the silver lining lies behind all the clouds in the skies above me

Does anybody out there feel me?
Cos everybody feels alone sometimes we do
Awakening my words unspoken
The deepest of my thoughts contain

You can see that I'm alright, the fears that were haunting me all night left no tears in my eyes
And more importantly I'm on the cure for the darkness, can't see, can't move 'til my path gets more light, the thoughts in my mind get more right
I leave them behind and hold on to the feeling, a truth that is inside
Cuz life is short no time to pause, still I wanna get more 'til I get caught, I can't hide from the lies that my mind is distraught and alone and divorced, from my home and my thoughts
Even though that I walk, through the Valley of Death I hold on to the hope that is left cuz I know that there's gotta be more

Does anybody out there feel me?
Cos everybody feels alone sometimes we do
Awakening my words unspoken
The deepest of my thoughts contain

I keep holding on to what I've got
Holding, keep on holding, keep on holding
I keep holding on to what I've got
Keep holding, keep on holding, keep on holding
Yo, sometimes I feel alone, but I know, that no matter what happens in life I've still got hope, and that's more than enough to hold on, stay strong for the times when I fall, through it all, still here still hearing life's call, that's survival, I'm learning my strengths and my title
Got nothing to prove, nothing to lose, so I just keep walking the line and seeing which path feels right, yeah I'm letting my heart choose
I refused to be held back, didn't back down when I fell back, when the curtains close yeah I know that, I can still see the light, when the life goes black

Does anybody out there feel me? (I keep holding on to what I've got)
Cos everybody feels alone sometimes we do (Keep on holding, keep on holding, keep on holding)
Awakening my words unspoken (I keep holding on to what I've got)
The deepest of my thoughts contain (Holding, holding, keep on holding)
