[Slum Village, Mélanie Rutherford - Keep Holding On lyrics]
Feeling a little under the weather today
But, I had some stuff to get off my chest
You know
Now what I'm about to say to y'all I
Might had never said to the general public
So y'all gotta hear me yo, feel me
I know I might sound like I
Got a cold and I'm sneezin'
But, I'm grown and I'm breathin'
Hear the tone in my speakin'
Both of my parents gone for a reason
Daddy's wrong just for leaving mother
Widowed and I'm grieving
Now spirit's above the stones and the demons
She belongs in the teaching where there's
A throne in the kingdom
And deep inside my bones I'm
Believin' that my poems
That I'm reading is the songs to my freedom
But life can be known as deceivin'
What I'm shown isn't pleasing
Makes me wanna throw stones at a deacon
In his home when he preaching
See that's Satan making my heart cold as
A breeze till it's frozen from freezin'
Gotta get right
I might not make it over this evening
'Cause your time period is shorter
Than breath going from wheezin'
Heard my nigga Tone
He was bleedin' through his clothes
It was leakin' from some
Chromes that was squeezing
Then when I'm all alone I be
Thinkin' I'm against all odds
Praying to God to show me the evens
But, I'm sick of being
Poor through the seasons
Smoking dro through the drinking with
Two hoes through the weekend
Bout to go till I see
Life can sometimes be so hard to bare
When you feel like there's no one who cares
There are times you feel all hope is gone
Don't lose faith and just keep holding
On and on and on
Keep holding on and on and on
But sometimes I feel alone in these streets
It gets cold in these streets
My heart and soul on these streets
I lost my mom so I hold to a piece of a place
Of a time when we both intertwined
It was love for a fatherless son
Although he had love for a son
Visit's were none to seldom
I would sit on a porch till the mail come
And when it came there never was
A letter with my name
But mom's was there for me
She held it down cause she cared for me
She never left even in her
Last path where she slept
Next to death she was always at her best
Never stressed that's why I love her
Life can sometimes be so hard to bare
When you feel like there's no one who cares
There are times you feel all hope is gone
Don't lose faith and just keep holding
On and on and on
Keep holding on and on and on
You gotta keep holding on, you
Gotta keep, keep holding on, keep holding on
Just keep holding on, you gotta
Keep, keep holding on, keep holding on yo
Keep holding on, you gotta
Keep, keep holding on, keep holding on
Life can sometimes be so hard to bare
When you feel like there's no one who cares
There are times you feel all hope is gone
Don't lose faith and just keep holding
On and on and on
Keep holding on and on and on
