VERSE 1
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth
Imma be honnest with you I've also had my ups and downs
Everybody in my hood thought that I would never make it
They used to tell me that I'm tryna fake it
My parents never had money so we couldn't save up (We couldn't save up)
But I wanna thank God cause I never gave up (I never gave up)
Don't you ever let anybody tell you that you can't be something (you can be anything)
Don't you ever let nobody tell you that you amount to nothing
CHORUS
All you gotta do is hold on (hold on)
All you need to do is hold on (hold on)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on hold on
VERSE 2
Some of my family members told me that I need a job
Even my best of buddies never thought I'd hit it to the top
They kept on saying the mountain's too high
They said the mountain be too high for me to climb
Sometimes you gotta keep your circle small
Cause you never know who wanna see your downfall
They gon act like they care about you
While behind your back they be talking about you
They used to say that I'm full of myself
Maybe they wanted me to be full of somebody else
You can't stop these people from talking
All you gotta do is keep on walking
CHORUS
All you gotta do is hold on (hold on)
All you need to do is hold on (hold on)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on hold on
VERSE 3
I remember one of my former teachers told me that I was wasting my time
But I never wasted my time tryna explain my grind
Two weeks later he heard my song play on a radio
And right now he told me that he wanna be on a cameo
You don't need somebody else's validation
So long as you got God's confirmation
Don't ever let them lie to you
Only God can see you through
I got booed by more than 10 000 people in my home town
But right now everybody be like "Unqle Chriz I'm proud"
CHORUS
All you gotta do is hold on (hold on)
All you need to do is hold on (hold on)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on hold on
