Hold The Line

[Verse 1]

Nobody said it would be easy

Nobody said it will all be fine

But to get where we’re going

Brother you gotta hold the line

It ain’t a matter of ‘if’

No it’s just a matter of time

But to get where we’re going

Sister you gotta hold the line

You gotta stay steadfast

Tread lightely

Cause they’re looking for a reason to knock you down

But you can’t ask to politely

In the trenches you gotta get loud !

Hold the line !

[Drop]

Hold the line !

Don't pay them no mind

Ooh

Hold the line !

[Verse 2]

Nobody said it happens overnight

But if you’re looking for a sign

Remember everybody that stood up before you

Oh, they hold the line

They want to tell you you’re already free

Put these chains on and rob you blind

When they co-op the movement

Don’t trip just hold the line, hold the line

Hold the line !

[Drop]

Hold the line !

Don't pay them no mind

Ooh

Hold the line !

[Bridge]

(You gotta stay steadfast)

(Tread lightely)

(Cause they’re looking for a reason to knock you down)

(But you can’t ask to politely)

(In the trenches you gotta get loud !)

You gotta stay steadfast

Tread lightely

Cause they’re looking for a reason to knock you down

But you can’t ask to politely

In the trenches you gotta get loud !

Hold the line !

[Drop]

Hold the line !

Don't pay them no mind

Ooh

Hold the line !
