Salt N Pepa – Hold On

Kirk Franklin:

Let’s have a little church up in here

How ya doin’, this is Kirk Franklin

Sharin’ with my sisters Cheryl, Sandi, and De De

With Sounds of Blackness

Everybody talkin’ about keeping it real, huh

Well I got the real for ya

One time for your holy mind

Come on, hold on, yes

Chorus:

Hold on, don’t let go (Rock on)

My God and don’t you know (Be strong)

You got the power if you look deep inside (The flow y’all)

Just let God be your light (Rock on)

And He’ll make it alright (Be strong)

Don’t let go, don’t let go (Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin’ y’all)

Deidra “Spinderella” Roper:

You struggle through your days, workin’ 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

Love is on the way if you just pray, and hold on

Chorus

Sandra “Pepa” Denton:

Met jealous people, prayed (Tell it) I wouldn’t make it

But opportunity knocked (Ha), I had to take it

Never fake it, cuz 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 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

Cheryl “Salt” James:

I ain’t trippin’ over nothin’ (That’s right), I count my blessings

Studyin’ my words (Uh-huh), 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 (True that)

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

Sounds Of Blackness:

All praises due to the Most High (To the Most Hight)

To the Most High heed your prayer to the sky

(You gotta keep your head up to the sky)

Cheryl “Salt” James:

So you wanna know why

Praise the Lord everyday, that’s how I get high

I, uh, just get by

Can’t do me nothin’ cuz God is on my side

Sounds Of Blackness:

All praises due to the Most High (To the Most Hight)

To the Most High heed your prayer to the sky

(You gotta keep your head up to the sky)

Said you gotta keep your head

I said you gotta keep your head up to the sky

Oh, come on, have a little church with me

Come on

Chorus

He 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 could have died (Come on)

My God, I think I got to say, Halleluia

You still loved me, when I never even knew ya

Here’s to the Man, clap your hands to the song

Sounds of Blackness, Salt and Pepa say, Peace y’all

And hold on

Chorus (3x)
