Don't Hold Back
DJ OPTICAL the M.N.B Lyrics

Let's have a little church up in here
Let's all come together and uplift each other spiritually

How ya doin', this is Kirk Franklin
I am the famous gospel singer Kirk Franklin, and I am here to share a message with you

Everybody talkin' about keeping it real, huh
Everyone claims to be authentic, but I have a genuine message for you

Well I got the real for ya
I have the truth that you need to hear

One time for your holy mind
Let me speak to the holiness within you

Come on, hold on, yes
Let's keep going and hold on to what we believe in

Hold on, don't let go (Rock on)
Stay strong and hold on through tough times

My God and don't you know (Be strong)
God is with you, and remember to stay strong

You got the power if you look deep inside (The flow y'all)
You have the strength within you if you take the time to find it

Just let God be your light (Rock on)
Allow God to guide and light your path

And He'll make it alright (Be strong)
If you trust in God, everything will work out

Don't let go, don't let go (Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
Stay persistent and don't give up

You struggle through your days, workin' then you out
Life can be difficult, with work and other struggles

If God ain't in charge, that's all it be about
Without God, life can feel empty and meaningless

No doubt, oh yeah, listen to this here
This is the truth, pay attention

If he got my back then whom shall I fear
If God is on my side, then I have nothing to fear

Forgive, forget, the tears and the sorrow
Forgive others and move past the pain and hardship

Keep your head up, because there's always tomorrow
Stay hopeful for tomorrow and don't let today's problems bring you down

Put the Lord first, be strong, you can't go wrong
Prioritize God in your life, and you will find strength and success

Love is on the way if you just pray, and hold on
Love and hope are there for you if you pray and hold on to your faith

Met jealous people, prayed (Tell it) I wouldn't make it
I struggled with jealousy from others, but I prayed to overcome it

But opportunity knocked (Ha), I had to take it
I recognized opportunities and took advantage of them

Never fake it, 'cause I be down with the King
I remain genuine and faithful to God

He's running everything (So I sing), like the family
God is in control of everything, as if he were part of the family

When you feel the pressure (Goin' on) and you stressed
When you feel overwhelmed and stressed out

Your life is in a mess, this is just a test
Your current struggles are only a temporary test of faith

God is with you, so people be strong
God is always with you, so stay strong

You can take the whole world on (Now keep it moving)
With God on your side, you can handle anything, so keep pushing forward

I ain't trippin' over nothin' (That's right), I count my blessings
I am grateful for what I have, and I don't worry about the small stuff

Studyin' my words (Uh-huh), steady tryin' to learn my lesson (Yeah)
I focus on studying and learning from my experiences

There's madness in this world, check me out, I ain't stressin' (Word)
The world can be chaotic, but I remain unfazed by it

Knowledge is the key, joy and peace, the essence (True that)
Knowledge is important, but true happiness and peace come from within

Do unto others, don't disrespect your mothers
Treat others with respect, especially your mother

Lend a helping hand to your sisters and your brothers
Be kind and helpful to others, like family

Trust God, uh, that's all you gotta do
Have faith in God, and everything else will follow

He'll take care of you, now all praises due
God will always take care of you, so give thanks and praise to him

All praises due to the Most High (To the Most Hight)
Give all thanks and praise to God

To the Most High heed your prayer to the sky
Pray to God and he will hear you

(You gotta keep your head up to the sky)
Keep your head up and stay hopeful

Praise the Lord everyday, that's how I get high
I find joy and happiness through praising God

I, uh, just get by
I am content with just getting by, as long as I have God

Can't do me nothin' 'cause God is on my side
With God with me, nobody can bring me down

Said you gotta keep your head
Remember to stay optimistic and strong

I said you gotta keep your head up to the sky
Stay hopeful and connected to God

He brought me through some hard times, it was mad, rough (No doubt)
I have been through difficult times, but with God, I made it through

I thought I couldn't handle it, uh, I had enough
I felt overwhelmed, but I kept going

But all praises due to the Most High
I thank God for helping me through those tough times

You kept me alive when I could have died (Come on)
God saved me from death, and I am grateful

My God, I think I got to say, Halleluia
I praise God with all my heart

You still loved me, when I never even knew ya
God always loved me, even before I knew him

Here's to the Man, clap your hands to the song
Let's celebrate and praise God

Sounds of Blackness, Salt and Pepa say, Peace y'all
Let's end on a positive note of peace and love

And hold on
Keep holding on to your faith and belief in God
