[Verse 1 – Smooth, Neo-Soul] Take my hand (mmm, yeah) Move it slow (uh-huh) What’s the plan? (I don’t know) Just take my hand (mmm) Don’t let go (don’t let go, no no) ⸻ [Verse 2 – Soulful Build] Why the silence feel so loud? (so loud, yeah) Heavy clouds, they hangin’ down (hangin’ down) But you here, through the snow (through the snow, ohh) Hold my hand (mmm, yeah) Don’t let go (don’t let go, don’t let go) ⸻ [Build – Crescendo / Spoken-Sung] I don’t even understand (uh, nah) Why I’m here, what is pain? (tell me now) What is fear? (what is fear?) I just know (yeah, yeah) Don’t let go (don’t let go, don’t let go) ⸻ [Chorus – Chaotic Cello Switch-Up] You just gotta— HOLD ON! (don’t let go… mmm) Hold on, hold on (don’t let go… woo!) HOLD ON! (don’t let go… ayy, ayy) Hold on, hold on (don’t let go, don’t let go…) (strings racing, ad-libs whispered and shouted, trap hats flickering in the pocket) ⸻ [Verse 3 – Stripped Down / Whispered] Time done passed (yeah, it passed) Moments gone (mmm, gone too fast) Way too fast (fast, fast) Now they gone (echo: “gone, gone, gone…”) ⸻ [Verse 4 – Emotional Build] Hold that grip (don’t slip, no) Don’t you fall (don’t fall) Don’t you slip (nah nah nah) Cause I know (I know, I know) If you let go… (let go, let go, woo) ⸻ [Falls Down – Drop Out] …so— (whispered, echoed) (sudden silence before cello + 808 drop) ⸻ [Chorus – Big, Layered] You just gotta— HOLD ON!

(don’t let go, ayy, ayy) Hold on, hold on (don’t let go, don’t let go…) ⸻ [Outro – Soulful, Classical Fade] Hold my hand, no slipping (mmm, yeah yeah) You can’t fall (nah nah) Understand, I know it’s cold (so cold, yeah) But when I’m gray, and old (mmm, when I’m old) And I start to fall, with no one to tell (no one to tell, no one to tell) Who would hold my hand— If you fell? (whispered “don’t let go…” fading out like wind)
