[Intro] Let me tell you about it I wanna tell you about it Let me tell you [Verse 1] I've been gone, gone so long Just wanna sing, sing my song I know you've been hearin' Hearin' a lot of things about me Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know I've heard, I've heard it all too clear This is what I am going to do, yeah I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold, hold on Hold on to my pride, my pride I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick I'm gonna stick to my guns, gonna stick to my guns, yeah I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line That's all I wanna do, I've gotta put it on the line And we haven't got much time I've gotta put it, put it on the line Know what I'm talking 'bout this evening Said I get to put it, oh, yeah, I've gotta put it on the line [Verse 2] Listen to me Said, I got a bullet in the chamber And I'm not afraid of danger Said, We got to go down, down to the wire I'll go through the fire with you, k** and die with you" Said, I know everybody watchin' me I said the pressure is on from every angle, political to personal Will I hang or get left hangin'? Will I fall off? Or is it bangin'? And I says ('sup to God) it's up to the man upstairs But all I gotta do is hold, hold on to my pride I'm gonna stick, (stick) I'm gonna stick to my guns (Gonna stick to my guns yeah) I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal I'm for real, yeah, I just wanna put it Put it on the line, I've gotta put it on the line Somebody out there knows I'm singin' about Would you help me sing the song [Outro] ... Said the stakes is high, yeah ... It's the moment of truth And If I can hold on, hold on I'm sure everything will be alright
