Lyrics

Stay up
Cause they ain’t ready
Keep your head down and hold it steady
Keep it going
Keep it going all the way through
You got to hold the line or else they’ll run over you
Get it in any way you can
Thug it out hand to hand
When the smoke clears we’ll see what we can do
Can’t wait for backup that ain’t coming
When they’re coming for you
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
You got to take it right on the chin
Where you end up is where you begin
If you stop now you know you’re never gonna win
You think you’re gaining ground
And then you’re losing again
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
Oh - you! ain’t got no quit in you so you ain’t gonna stop
Oh - you! refuse to lose so take it all the way to the top
Stay up
Cause they ain’t ready
Keep your head down and hold it steady
Keep it going
Keep it going all the way through
You got to hold the line or else they’ll run over you
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
