Versuri D’Angelo – The Line lyrics

[Intro]
Let me tell you about it (Oh, yeah)
I wanna tell you about it (Yeah)
Let me tell you

[Verse 1]
I’ve been gone (Yeah, huh), gone so long
Just wanna sing (Huh), sing my song
I know (Huh) you’ve been hearin’ (Oh)
Hearin’ a lot of things (Huh) about me
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know
I’ve heard, I’ve heard it all too clear (Oh)
This is what I am going to do, yeah
(Hey, what you gon’ do about it?)
I’m gonna, I’m gonna hold, hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on to my pride, my pride (Oh)
I’m gonna, I’m gonna stick
I’m gonna stick (Stick), I’m gonna stick
I’m gonna stick to my guns
Gonna stick to my guns, yeah (Uh)
I’m gonna put my finger on the trigger (My finger on the trigger)
I’m gonna pull it (Gonna pull it)
And then we gon’ see what the deal (What the deal)
I’m for real (I’m for real)
I just wanna put it on, put it on the line (Yeah)
That’s all I wanna do
I’ve gotta put it on the line (Oh, huh)
Oh, and we haven’t got much time (Ooh, yeah)
Oh, yeah (Oh)
I’ve gotta put it, put it on the line (Huh)
Know what I’m talkin’ about this evenin’
Said I get to put it, oh, yeah (Oh-oh)
I’ve gotta put it on the line

[Verse 2]
Listen to me
Say, I’ve got a bullet (I’ve got a bullet, yeah, yeah) in the chamber (Huh)
And I’m not afraid of danger (Don’t fear me now)
Said, we got to go down, down to the wire
I’ll go through the fire with you
Kill and die with you (Yeah)
Said, I know everybody watchin’ me (Hey)
I said the pressure is on (On)
From every angle, political to personal (Political, political to personal)
Will I hang or get left hangin’?
Will I fall off, or is it bangin’?
And I says it’s up to God (Hey)
It’s up to the man upstairs
But all I gotta do is

[Chorus]
(Hold) Hold
(Hold on) Hold on to my pride
I gotta hold on (My pride) to my pride
(I’m gonna stick) Said I’m gonna stick (Stick)
I’m gonna stick to my guns (Oh)
Gonna stick to my guns, yeah
Oh, I’m gonna put my finger on the trigger (My finger on the trigger)
I’m gonna pull it (I’m gonna pull)
And then we gon’ see (Mm, hey) what the deal, baby (What the deal)
I’m for real, yeah (I’m for real)
I just want to put it
Oh, put it on the line, yeah (Yeah)

[Outro]
Somebody out there knows what I’m singin’ about
Would you help me sing this song?
Oh-oh (Oh)
Ah-ah (Mm)
Oh-oh-oh
Huh, said the stakes is high, yeah
Oh-oh (Oh)
Ah-ah (Oh)
Oh-oh-oh
It’s the moment of truth (Oh-oh-oh)
And If I can hold on, hold on (Ah-ah)
I’m sure everything will be alright (Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
Ah, shine, shine, shine (Ah-ah)
Oh, yeah (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh, got to put it on the line
