[Intro]
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
(Come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Sometimes life can be a bumpy ride
Sometimes it feels like you're driving with covered eyes
And you listen to your friend who's in the car by your side
They say they've got your map
What if your friends are tellin' lies?
So listen to your heart 'cause you can't see no roadsigns
You don't know where to stop or to turn
Everyone goes through it, I'm in the middle of mine
And I try to remember it's the only way to learn
[Interlude]
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
(Come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
You gotta stay real true to yourself in the game of becomin' a woman
Where the rules never stay the same
Remember who you are
Who made you and who's keeping you here
Who's making you not duck for problems in fear
People in your way, dogs and bitches
Who's licking your ass? Liars and snitches
[Chorus]
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Keep your head above the waterline
Keep focused
And you'll make it through
Keep on rolling is what you've got to do
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Don't you slip and don't you slide
Love will be there in the end
When you come around that bend
[Interlude]
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
(Come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
You've gotta keep your flow smooth
Never hesitate
Never stop believing, Always keepin' the faith
But always be critical, Never naive
'Cause if you can be that
There's so much more you can achieve
Maybe then when you're grown up satisfied and strong
Maybe then you will be happy
Happy that you held on
[Chorus]
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Keep your head above the waterline
Keep focused
And you'll make it through
Keep on rolling is what you've got to do
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Don't you slip and don't you slide
Love will be there in the end
When you come around that bend
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Keep your head above the waterline
Keep focused
And you'll make it through
Keep on rolling is what you've got to do
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Don't you slip and don't you slide
Love will be there in the end
When you come around that bend
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Keep your head above the waterline (Waterline)
Keep focused
And you'll make it through
Keep on rolling is what you've got to do
Even though it's a bumpy ride
Don't you slip and don't you slide
Love will be there in the end
When you come around that bend
[Outro]
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (Come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (It's a bumpy ride, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, oh oh)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (Come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (Hey, cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (Come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (Said I know by now, you gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh (it's a bumpy ride, come on, you've gotta hold on)
Ay-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh
