Hold The Line Lyrics

Here I am again, deep in the red

Living life on the knife's edge, no way to get ahead

Always on the hustle, always on the scratch

Fingers crossed, I hold onto my breath

And it's pulling me down

Like a sinking vessel, uncertainty abound

Odds stacked against me, Won't relinquish dignity

Despite insecurities – I dig my heels in

When the world starts crashing

Brother, you start singing

It's you who'll defy – Won't be the one denied

When the whip starts cracking

Sister, you start singing

Rack 9 in time, lines are drawn – defined

When you heart starts pounding

We ALL start singing

It's you who'll demand – take command

When the pressure starts mounting

Come together singing

Look foes square into the eyes – AND HOLD THE LINE

HOLD THE LINE

You've got to turn the tides, you can't apologize, you cannot compromise

HOLD THE LINE

You've got to set the tone; you've got to make it known that you'll hold your own

HOLD THE LINE

Won't be stripped of our dignity, ultimately, it's up to you and me

WE HOLD THE LINE

Here I am again, deep in the red

Living life on the knife's edge, no way to get ahead

Always on the hustle, always on the scratch

Fingers crossed, I hold onto my breath

And it's pulling me down

Like a sinking vessel, uncertainty abound

Odds stacked against me, Won't relinquish dignity

Despite insecurities – I dig my heels in

As you pull me DOWN!

But, I won't give an inch – I WILL HOLD THIS LINE!
