Holdin on
Chorus Sometimes you got to hold on,
low background voice Hold on tight, Don't let go
'cause in this world some things go wrong,
" Ain't nothin' perfect in this world
And if you keep holding on
" wrap your hands around it and hold on for dear life
You can only keep growin' strong

A day full of peace but the sun feel quick/ this
voice on the phone, the devil playing a trick/
He's trying to take somethin' from me, and hearts that's
mine/the one in my chest still beats but the other 2's dyin'/
I get to the ICU and there she was/my baby in her
belly and her hair soaked in blood/
Lord NO! Inside, I fell to my knees/this is hell,
So I feel, beggin' him please/
You
You know what you gotta do -------/
Low background
voice praying -> Please God, Don't take them from me.

If you gotta take them then take me too-----/
" -> I can't live without them Lord, I just can't do it.
If their hearts stop beatin'------/
" -> Betta' take mine too.
Then I'll lose all feelin'------/
"-> RRRRRRRR...

Verse 2:

I might go crazy, I might lose it all/ I ain't
know what I'd do but I knew I'd fall/I needed
help but the chronic wasn't calmin' my nerves/I
turned to alcohol but the boo's came with the birds/
I'd sit and watch her as her chest rose and fell/
That life machine sounded like a soldier from hell/
That clicking sound and the way the air cried/
But it brought my baby's back after they died/
So I made a deal with God, prayed it every night/
That if he gave 'em back to me I'd straighten my life/
So if you take 'em now, God you dead wrong/
But I pray once again you let 'em breathe on their own/

Chorus
