Now here comes the great musical thing called "hold your position"

Rasta, them style ya a just levelment Uncle seen

Hold me position, Just a hold me position

I ya, hold me position, just a hold me position

Go on, hold me position, just a hold me position



Just like Jesus Christ in the valley of decision

Devil come along and tru to deceive man through him

Got him plan from the older one

Him had to hold him position, had to hold him position yeh

Hold him position, had to hold him position



Well rhythm like this makes me and me daughter

Go down at the dance, bubble on the corner

When the rhythm is sweet, we a go hold tighter

Rub-adub like this makes you go one

So you hold your position

Say you hold you position aya

Hold your position, say hold your position



Things and time was a getting slow let off the rhythm

Let the good time roll

Don't bother go a slow and stay a back row

I man come to make the rhythm

Just a rock and flow, because me hold me position

Just a hold me position



Special request to 39 Acker Tree, Frontline, everyman on Kime

So we really come to make it versatile

Because one of a kind we come to blow your mind

So you should hold you position

Yes, hold your position, aya

Hold your position, hold your position

Hold Your Position (cont'd) Stones



Skank steady, Skank Steady

I tell you rock the rhythm

You should skank down steady

You know you say, it heavier than lead

Kinda tougher than tough

You know that Jah, Jah covers

Since he stands over us

So hold your position

Hold your position

Move to the east, and you could a move to the west-acapo
