Holding On
Kfresh Harris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever made you think I could go on livin' this way
Oh baby, yea
But it's really gotten so, I can't believe one word you said
Yea
I've been holding on, long as I could
Now they hold me back I told you as simply like I should
This ain't no light shit, nigga meet me at the stu
I'm about that life, not play me like a fool
Born in the early 90's, 28 years later wondering what I might be
Goin' back and forth worried about who I might see
I don't play games when I'm out in these streets
We can hit that court but you better ready for this defeat
This some Cleveland shit, this some rock hall shit
Where legends build from the ground up
It's my time to shine, tell Cudi I said what up
Welcome to the language that makes you famous
Where the words I messed up and not so harmless
Liars and cheats are playing you like a fool
This world has a bunch of them and that shit ain't cool
All my life I've been trying to be better than the legends
Now I gotta sit back then tune in cause I'm about to get hit with these lesson
Got to be better than the greatest
I gotta be better than the greatest
You gotta keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on
Keep fightin' on, keep fightin' on
keep livin' on, keep livin' on
Keep winnin' everyday
You gotta keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on
Keep fightin' on, keep fightin' on
keep livin' on, keep livin' on
Keep winnin' everyday
We gonna win everyday, day, day
We gonna live in any way, way way
We gonna win everyday
We gonna live in any way
We gonna go hard all day, day day
I've been holding on, long as I could
I've been holding on, long as I could
I've been holding on, long as I could
Now they hold me back I told you as simply like I should
I've be holdin' on (I'm gonna keep holdin' on)
I've be holdin' on (We gonna keep fightin' on)
I've be holdin' on, long as I could (keep, keep, keep, what)
I've be holdin' on (I'm gonna keep holdin' on)
I've be holdin' on (You're gonna keep fightin' on)
I've be holdin' on, long as I could (keep, keep, keep, what)
It's the next level so prove to me what you got
Don't be like this fakes lying that they got cars
When they only got one right in his parking lot
Dreams last forever until you make a reality
Dreams last forever until you make a reality
Dreams, dreams
Reality, reality
Make it come true true
Dreams, dreams
Reality, reality
Make it come true true
You gotta keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on
Keep fightin' on, keep fightin' on




Keep livin' on, keep livin' on
Keep winnin' everyday
