I've been over and i've been under

Been through all kinds of hell

Trouble was not only my middle name

It was my first as well

Through the years all i've encountered

I've lust one thing to say

Hold on to what you got

And don't let it slip away



I've been taken for far more rides

To places i've never been,

Stabbed so many times in the back

I so longer feel a thing

Ask me what all this has taught me

And i'll tell you what i'll say

Hold on ...

Save it for a rainy day

And keep a watchful eye on anyone that tells you lies

See that it's true

You get what your entitled to



I was brought up same as you were

No different and no worse

You could be sure my mother would hit me

If i tampered with her purse



All my life has been a lesson

The most important to date

Hold on to what you got

And don't let it slip away.
