Hold On Lyrics


Let's have a little church up in here
How ya doin'? This is Kirk Franklin
Sharin' with my sisters Cheryl, Sandi, and De De
With Sounds of Blackness
Everybody talkin' about keeping it real, huh
Well, I got the real for ya
One time for your holy mind
Come on, hold on, yes
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)

Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
You struggle through your days, workin' then you out
If God ain't in charge, that's all it be about
No doubt, oh yeah, listen to this here
If he got my back then whom shall I fear
Forgive, forget, the tears and the sorrow
Keep your head up because there's always tomorrow
Put the Lord first, be strong, you can't go wrong
Love is on the way if you just pray and hold on
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)
Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
Met jealous people, prayed I wouldn't make it
(Tell it)
But opportunity knocked, I had to take it
(Ha)
Never fake it, 'cuz I be down with the King
He's running everything, like the family
(So I sing)
When you feel the pressure and you stressed
(Goin' on)
Your life is in a mess, this is just a test
God is with you, so people be strong
You can take the whole world on
(Now keep it moving)
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)
Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
I ain't trippin' over nothin', I count my blessings
(That's right)
Studyin' my words, steady tryin' to learn my lesson
(Uh-huh, yeah)
There's madness in this world
Check me out, I ain't stressin'
(Word)
Knowledge is the key
Joy and peace, the essence
(True that)
Do unto others, don't disrespect your mothers
Lend a helping hand to your sisters and your brothers
Trust God, uh, that's all you gotta do
He'll take care of you, now all praises due
All praises due to the Most High
(To the Most High)
To the Most High heed your prayer to the sky
(You gotta keep your head up to the sky)
So you wanna know why
Praise the Lord everyday, that's how I get high
I, uh, just get by
Can't do me nothin' 'cuz God is on my side
All praises due to the Most High
(To the Most Hight)
To the Most High heed your prayer to the sky
(You gotta keep your head up to the sky)
Said you gotta keep your head
I said you gotta keep your head up to the sky
Oh, come on, have a little church with me, come on
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)
Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
He brought me through some hard times
It was mad, rough
(No doubt)
I thought I couldn't handle it
Uh, I had enough
But all praises due to the Most High
You kept me alive when I could have died
(Come on)
My God, I think I got to say, Halleluiah
You still loved me, when I never even knew Ya
Here's to the Man, clap your hands to the song
Sounds of Blackness, Salt-N-Pepa say, peace y'all
And hold on
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)
Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)
Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)
Hold on, don't let go
(Rock on)
My God and don't you know
(Be strong)
You got the power if you look deep inside
(The flow y'all)
Just let God be your light
(Rock on)
And He'll make it alright
(Be strong)
Don't let go, don't let go
(Keep on, uh, yeah, keep it flowin' y'all)

Salt 'N' Pepa is an American rap / hip-hop group, consisting of Cheryl James ("Salt"), Sandy Denton ("Pepa"), and Deidre "Dee Dee" Roper (DJ Spinderella). They debuted with "The Show Stopper", a response record to Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick's "The Show". It was an underground hit and Salt 'N' Pepa signed to Next Plateau. Their debut LP was Hot, Cool & Vicious (1986, which was produced by Salt's then-boyfriend, Hurby Azor, the group's manager, and he received songwriting credit for the album, though this was later disputed. According to AMG it also featured DJ Pamela Green, though they do not include her in their list of credits, and neither does the album sleeve.

Hot, Cool & Vicious received little attention until a San Francisco DJ named Cameron Paul created a remix of "Push It" (The b-side to "Tramp"). Mr. Paul's remix of "Push It", rereleased as a single, quickly became a national hit and was nominated for a Grammy, pushing both the single and LP to Platinum album status.

They released A Salt With a Deadly Pepa, which was only a minor hit, though it featured "Shake Your Thang". Their third original LP, Blacks Magic, which received generally positive reviews and expanded Salt 'N' Pepa's fanbase among hip hop fans using more R&B. It included "Let's Talk About Sex", one of their biggest songs.

Salt 'N' Pepa left Next Plateau and the influence of Azor released "Very Necessary", a largely self-produced album in 1993, and it performed very well on the charts, buoyed by "Shoop" and "Whatta Man" (with En Vogue). In 1994, they appeared in the motion picture "Who's The Man?".

The less commercially successful single "None of Your Business," won the Grammy for Best Rap Performance in 1995. Since Very Necessary, both Salt and Pepa have focused primarily on their acting careers. They released their final album "Brand New" in 1997.

Despite their girl group beginnings, Salt 'N' Pepa insist that they wrote many of the lyrics on their first album, and by Blacks Magic they displayed a sex positive, and responsible, feminism, and are often seen as innovators or role models.

In March 1999, Salt 'N' Pepa embarked on their final live tour. Pepa (Sandy Denton) married Treach of Naughty By Nature on July 27, 1999. Salt 'N' Pepa's greatest-hits album, entitled Salt 'N' Pepa: The Best Of was released on January 25, 2000. Treach and Pepa were divorced on July 31, 2001. The group officially disbanded in 2002. Upon disbanding, Salt (Cheryl James) claimed she had become a born-again Christian, and would no longer be involved in hip-hop. However, all that changed when Cheryl announced that she would be releasing her first solo cd "Salt of the Earth" which later changed to "Salt Unrapped".

Cheryl James and Sandy Denton appeared on VH1's Hip Hop Honors in November 2004 without Spinderella. They did not perform.

In March 2005, it was announced that Sandy Denton would join Jose Canseco, Bronson Pinchot, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, Caprice Bourret, Janice Dickinson, and Carey Hart on the 5th season of the VH1 series The Surreal Life.

Salt 'N' Pepa reunited on September 22, 2005, and gave their first performance in six years. They sang Whatta Man, along with En Vogue, as a part of VH1's Hip Hop Honors program.
