00:00When things get rough and times get hard
00:15I keep holding on to the hand of God
00:18It keeps me safe when I feel dressed
00:22The harder it becomes, the tighter it gets
00:25I never let go, never let go
00:30Never let go, cause you never said no
00:37From plantations to prisons, cotton fields to cheap labor
00:41They took away the love and got us to hate each neighbor
00:44Now every title's genocidal when you keep hearing it often
00:47So one foot is in the cemetery and the other foot is in the coffin
00:51So now it's time to look around at all the crimes that took us down
00:54Turning us to animals in a zoo or some dogs inside a pound
00:57I think we're caught in a crossfire inside of a spiritual war
01:00Where all the people want money but they need the miracles more
01:03We never turn the other cheek and yeah we probably miss sabbats
01:07But we saw God at work watching the addicts kick habits
01:10We're an endangered species that are in a battle for breath
01:13And bullets talk while we walk through the shadow of death
01:16For all the saints and restraints and all the angels that wondered
01:19Why the world is against us and we're always outnumbered
01:23Got a pocket full of prayer and a hand full of hope
01:26They can't ignore the good boy or the sleeping giants that woke
01:29Things get rough and times get hard
01:32I keep holding on to the hand of God
01:35It keeps me safe when I feel threats
01:39The harder it becomes, the tighter it gets
01:42Cause I never let go
01:44Cause you never said no
01:54I walked through the valley of the shadow of death
02:00Ooh and that was the first time God in me ever met
02:07He put his arms around my heart
02:13And paved the way for a brand new start
02:19Protecting me
02:22Protecting me
02:26When everyone else was neglecting me
02:33I never let go
02:35I never let go
02:35Never let go
02:39Never let go
02:42Cause you never said no
02:45Things get rough and times get hard
02:49I keep holding on to the hand of God
02:52It keeps me safe when I feel threats
02:56The harder it becomes, the tighter it gets
02:59Cause I never let go
03:01Never let go
03:04Never let go
03:08Cause you never said no
03:11You're supposed to try
03:28Cause you never said no
03:36You're supposed to try
