Songtexte Olympian - Propaganda

Said you gotta hold on
Said you gotta hold on
Said you gotta hold on
Said you gotta hold on
Said you gotta hold on
Said you gotta hold on

The type of fortitude forged from falling apart flesh
Liquid laced lung, them phlegm swims inside his chest
Blood test positive, odds of finding a spouse minimal
HIV be clipping the wings of an ex-criminal
Stage four surgery won't make a difference call the family
Hoping and hoping, let me know how it goes
In the hands on with a broken nose
Your bones'll give up but you better not though
The real you is permanent with a perfected purpose
Treasure in clay vessels, don't let this body fool you
Woman found the power to push out of her a human
Seven miscarriages carrying planet on left hip
You are more than your bones, if you don't know that, get hip

Don't you stop now, baby
Show your fight now, baby
You're an olympian, baby
You can't quit now
You want peace, well that means war
Don't lose heart in what you're fighting for
You want strength, well that means pain
Now it's you against everything
(You're an olympian) Did you hear me?
(You're an olympian) Sing it with me!
(You're an olympian) Keep on fighting!
(You're an olympian) Yeah!

And he looking at his knees bleeding like "I don't believe you"
Standing in the mirror like "boy, that team needs you"
And the torn-up Achilles getting that squad to the playoffs
And the doc say that six months your leg, you gotta stay off
And he can't shake them headaches
Detoxing on oxycontin, he shivers and he quakes
She ain't got retirement, a lifelong wage worker
Hates her environment and I don't blame her
But hold on!

Don't you stop now, baby
Show your fight now, baby
You're an olympian, baby
You can't quit now
You want peace, well that means war
Don't lose heart in what you're fighting for
You want strength, well that means pain
Now it's you against everything
(You're an olympian) Did you hear me?
(You're an olympian) Sing it with me!
(You're an olympian) Keep on fighting!
(You're an olympian) Yeah!

I will hold on
I will hold on
I will hold on
I will hold on
