  • Bless my heart
    Bless my soul
    I didn't think I'd make it to twenty-two years old
    There must be someone up above
    Saying, "Come on Brittany, you got to come on up"
    You got to hold on
    Yeah, you got to hold on

    So, bless my heart and bless yours, too
    I don't know where I'm gonna go
    Don't know what what I'm gon' do
    Well, must be somebody up above
    Saying, "Come on Brittany, you got to back up"
    You got to hold on
    Yeah, you got to hold on

    Yeah, you got to wait
    Yeah, you got to wait
    But I don't wanna wait
    No, I don't wanna wait

    So, bless my heart
    Bless my mind
    I got so much I want to do
    But I ain't got much time
    So, must be somebody up above
    Saying, "Come on, baby girl, you got to get back up"
    You got to hold on
    Yeah, you got to hold on

    Yeah, you got to wait
    Yeah, you got to wait
    But I don't wanna wait, no
    No, I don't wanna wait

    You got to hold on
    You got to hold on
    You got to hold on
    You got to hold on Writer/s: Brittany Amber Howard, Heath Allen Fogg, Steven William Johnson, Zachary Riley Cockrell
