Holding On

I'm holding on

Dem nuh rate me
Seh dem hate me
Seh mi fall off
Nut'n could save me
Seh mi career flop
Seh how mi ting drop
I'll never rise up
Neva could come back
Call mi feisty
Seh mi crazy
Seh mi lazy
Dem always amaze me
One bagga ting dem ah say bout me
One bagga ting dem ah chat lately

But I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Tryna' make it thru di storm I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Yes man rough, man gotta be tough man, man gotta be strong

Touch di road, Father God protect mi head back
Haters waa' see me dead and anuh joke dat
Dem nuh waa' see mi money inna stack
Dem nuh waa' see mi buil' di house pon di hilltop
All dem ah pree and ah try
Fi mash up mi life, still mi rise
Father God know mi born fi survive
Sometimes yuh haffi play fool fi be wise
Let me tell you a story 'bout a king
Weh neva could'a win
Born inna Flanker, neva had ah ting
Everyday him ah suffer, everyday ah di same
Nobody know his pain
But in his heart was a burning flame
Ah young wild soldier weh neva could'a tame
Suh dem call him crazy, call him insane
Tommy Lee was di bloodclaat name
They neva know you was born a king
Neva know you would rise to fame
Neva know di bwoy coulda bloodclaat sing
Neva know same woulda headline Sting
But every ting mi build dem try fi destroy
Dey mash up everyting mi love and enjoy
Di weirdest ting a end was neva my choice
I wonder if yuh hear di pain in my voice

I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Tryna' make it thru di storm I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Deez streets, man rough, man gotta be tough man, man gotta be strong

Dem nuh rate me
Seh dem hate me
Seh mi career flop
Seh how mi ting drop
I'll never rise up
Neva could come back
Dem nuh rate me
Seh dem hate me
Dem call mi feisty
Seh mi crazy
Seh mi lazy
Dem always amaze me

But I'm holding on (seh mi career flop)
I'm holding on
Tryna' make it thru di storm I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Yes man rough, man gotta be tough man, man gotta be strong

Seh dem hate me
Seh mi fall off
Nut'n could save me
Seh mi lazy
Seh mi career flop
Seh how mi ting drop
I'll never rise up
Neva could come back
Dem call mi feisty
Never could come back
(Never could come back)
(Never could come back)
Call mi feisty
Seh mi crazy
Seh mi lazy
Dem always amaze me
One bagga ting dem ah say bout me
One bagga ting dem ah chat lately

But I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Tryna' make it thru di storm I'm holding on
