Been up

been down

been in

been out

I thought I knew all about life

all about life

then I realized

life never promised you

no bag of roses

love never promised you

no benz and roses

the more you live the more you learn

not to leave yourself open

try not to talk til it's your turn

when you think that your certain, ya



Hold on

don't let another man push you off your senses

Hold on

nah bother front if you know you can't dis this

Hold on

stand up firm and never get weak just

Hold on

Oh gosh



Now if your not quick to learn

then your going to be a come around

Even your bretherens will

take you for a run around

the less you know

it won't hurt

these are things to remember

life is free you give the word

January to December



Hold on

don't let another man push you off your senses

Hold on

nah bother front if you know you can't dis this

Hold on

stand up firm and never get weak just

Hold on



I've been up

been down

been in

been out

I thought I knew all about life

all about life

then I realized

life never promised you

no bag of roses

love never promised you

no benz and roses

the more you live the more you learn

not to leave yourself open

try not to talk til it's your turn

when you think that your certain, you



Hold on

oh yes

gotta do is

Hold on

Hold on

just you hold on
