Holding On
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, aye
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Rizvan]
See lately I‘ve been down in the dumps
Went through the motions, drowned in an ocean of tears, now I’m out of the slump (Lower)
Counting my lucky stars that I still hear the sound of my son (Ouaa)
Never gave up and I gotta stay trusting, even when I’m scrounging for crumbs (Skrr)
Knee deep down in the mud
'Cause see them demons in my life (Life) keep weakening my light (Light)
But even though I’m low (Low), I’m still reaching for the sky (Yeah)
Try heed some real advice, see my team, I keep it tight (Right)
Them talanoas around the kava bowl helped me to sleep at night
It wasn’t easy to make that shift (Hey)
Some mitigation and patience, hard conversations I faced to create that drift (Hey)
Do you want to rage and quit, or do you want to take that risk?
So get vulnerable and be open when you’re too broke to even cope (Get low)
See my past keeps trying to haunt me but you know I don’t believe in ghosts (Let's go)
So now see I’m on my way (Okay), persisted through the pain (The pain)
Sometimes you feel resistance but know this, you’ll be okay (Okay)
Gratitude is the attitude, grateful how far I’ve came (No shame)
Deep breath with each step, just take it day by day
See what I’m saying is

[Chorus: Lui Tuiasau]
I might be broke but I ain’t broken (Broken)
My life’s a joke but I’m still joking (Joking)
Bouncing my bum and I keep rolling (Rolling)
Roll up my tree and I keep holding on (Holding on)
To what I believe in (Holding on)
To what I believe in (Holding on)
To what I believe in (Holding on)
[Verse 2: Tom Scott]
Yeah, I used to try to please the people that couldn’t be pleased
Telling them all about all of my dreams, they couldn't believe
They couldn’t see my vision I had, so I had to just leave
Had to cut ‘em all off, had to set ‘em all free, had to let ‘em all be
Jumped on a plane like fuck these dudes, they don’t even know (Fuck you cunts)
Came home and the conveyor belt at the airport, don’t even go
And that’s how it is where I come from, shit talk goes round like luggage
When you up then they down like, "Fuck," but they never came 'round when you felt like rubbish
Fuck it, I know what love is
I know enough to know what enough is
Never too much, never too much
Long as I got me some food in the cupboards
You know what my buzz is, ain’t holding no grudges
With no baby-mothers and you motherfuckers
Ain’t bringin' me down, I’m bringing a ruckus
Bring it, I’m bringing up these bumpers
Bigging up my brothers
I’m big enough to do it this ain’t just the music, it’s my life
Ain't nothing less, I put blood and sweat in that every line that I write
Soundman give me my mic, someone give me my light
Whatever that ticket been priced at, trust I’ma give it back twice
Now can I get a rim shot (Shot), can I just rock? (Rock)
I don’t wanna be a big shot
Fuck Tom Scott, I’m just Tom full stop
And I really ain’t snot
Really ain’t worried bout what I don’t got
Coulda gone tied the noose up in a knot
But it’s not the end, it’s just dot, dot, dot
What
[Chorus: Lui Tuiasau]
I might be broke but I ain’t broken (Broken)
My life’s a joke but I’m still joking (Joking)
Bouncing my bum and I keep rolling (Rolling)
Roll up my tree and I keep holding on (Holding on)
To what I believe in (Holding on)
To what I believe in (Holding on)
To what I believe in (Holding on)

[Verse 3: Brandon Shiraz]
Hold on, look at them, they don’t know what I’m on
I put heart, put pain in a song
Put life in the words and my word is my bond
It’s been that from the jump
They hate me if I’m right, shoot me if I’m wrong
Everyday I’m unruly, I keep going
I mean that shit, the fuck I don't
I built this shit brick by brick
Sit back, pour something, let me sip that shit
Pour a little more on the floor one time
For the fam I lost, I ain’t healed just yet
Instead of throwing dirt on myself
We’ll give em hell all year
Stand on my own
Make the rules I tell them what’s gwan?
You ain’t seen me, I grind in the dark
All the others ain’t changing their hearts
Hide my back but I seen from afar
I done seen a real one turn real fake
Mad snakes and I know who they are
From the 15, I come from the stars
Wavy from the start, roll it back and forth
Show up at the end, what they here for
Burn one again, huff and let it spark
All the family’d get their praises
All of my mama's sacrifices
We’d bounce back whatever crisis
All the nightmares, I still get flashes
And uh, no I ain’t got all the answers
I give thanks to all the highest
Play my track, I know it’s timeless
Yeah
