Hold On To What You Got

I've been over and I've been under Been through all kinds of hell Trouble was not only my middle name It was my first as well Through the years all I've encountered I've lust one thing to say Hold on to what you got And don't let it slip away I've been taken for far more rides To places I've never been Stabbed so many times in the back I so longer feel a thing Ask me what all this has taught me And I'll tell you what I'll say Hold on Save it for a rainy day And keep a watchful eye on anyone that tells you lies See that it's true You get what your entitled to I was brought up same as you were No different and no worse You could be sure my mother would hit me If I tampered with her purse All my life has been a lesson The most Important to date Hold on to what you got And don't let It slip away
