[Verse 1]
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said it will all be fine
But to get where we’re going
Brother you gotta hold the line
It ain’t a matter of ‘if’
No it’s just a matter of time
But to get where we’re going
Sister you gotta hold the line
You gotta stay steadfast
Tread lightely
Cause they’re looking for a reason to knock you down
But you can’t ask to politely
In the trenches you gotta get loud !
Hold the line !
[Drop]
Hold the line !
Don't pay them no mind
Ooh
Hold the line !
[Verse 2]
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 want to 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 !
[Drop]
Hold the line !
Don't pay them no mind
Ooh
Hold the line !
[Bridge]
(You gotta stay steadfast)
(Tread lightely)
(Cause they’re looking for a reason to knock you down)
(But you can’t ask to politely)
(In the trenches you gotta get loud !)
You gotta stay steadfast
Tread lightely
Cause they’re looking for a reason to knock you down
But you can’t ask to politely
In the trenches you gotta get loud !
Hold the line !
[Drop]
Hold the line !
Don't pay them no mind
Ooh
Hold the line !
