Hold On

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My only weapon was my pen

But I traded it for my hand

Not a smart move, but my move

Does this say I'm a man?

My only lesson was in my brains

But I traded them for my hand

Not a smart move, a repeat move

Does this put pay to our plan?

Hey, hey

You'll never get to heaven if you don't give back

So give back a little twist

If you wanna a lend a hand

Wait, wait

Don't leave before I'm finished

If you do then that's rude

You may learn a little bit about those things you do

I'm only going to heaven if it feels like hell

I'm only going to heaven if it tastes like caramel

Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold on

Hold on, hold on

Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold on

Hold on, hold on

Sir, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside

Sir, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside, outside

My only weapon was my pen

But I traded it for my hand

Not a smart move, but my move

Does this say I'm a man?

My only lesson was in my brains

But I traded them for my hand

Not a smart move, a repeat move

Does this put pay to our plan?

Hey, hey,

You'll never get to heaven if you don't give back

So give back a little twist

If you wanna a lend a hand,

Wait, wait

Don't leave before I'm finished

If you do then that's rude

You may learn a little bit about those things you do

I'm only going to heaven if it feels like hell

I'm only going to heaven if it tastes like caramel

Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold on

Hold on, hold on

Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold on

Hold on, hold on

Sir, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside, outside

Sir, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside, outside

Girl, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside, outside

Girl, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside, outside

Girl, I've a good mind to take you outside, outside, outside

I'm only going to heaven if it feels like hell

I'm only going to heaven if it tastes like carame
