Hold On To What You`ve Got Lyrics

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.
