Lyrics
Hold The Line
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.
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said that it would all be fine
But to get where we're going
Brother, you gotta hold the line
It ain't a matter of if
Nah, it's just a matter of time
But to get where we're going
Sister, gotta hold the line
You gotta stay steadfast, tread lightly
'Cause they're looking for a reason to knock you down
But you can't ask too politely
In the trenches, you gotta get loud
Hold the line
Hold the line, uh
Don't pay 'em no mind, oh
Hold the line
Nobody said it happens overnight
But if you're looking for a sign
Remember everybody that stood up before you
Oh, they hold the line
They wanna tell you: You're already free
Put these chains on and rob you blind
When they co-op the movement
Don't trip, just hold the line, hold the line
Hold the line
Hold the line, uh
Don't pay 'em no mind, oh
Hold the line
You gotta stay steadfast, tread lightly
'Cause they're looking for the reason to knock you down
But you can't ask too politely
In the trenches, you gotta get loud
You gotta stay steadfast, tread lightly
'Cause they're looking for the reason to knock you down
But you can't ask too politely
In the trenches, you gotta get loud
Hold the line
Hold the line, uh
Don't pay 'em no mind, oh
Hold the line
