HOLD ON BE STRONG
Hold on
[lighter flicks up] Yeah it s gonna be alright
don t trip baby [inhales] It ll get better
[coughing] Ay do this Thug style main
Thug style When this whole beat drop we just gon run it to em bet It s all good
uhh I never had much
ran with a bad bunch Little skinny kid sneakin weed in my bag lunch And all through Junior High
we was just gettin by And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives I never did cry
and even though I had pain in my heart
I was hopeless from the start They couldn t tell me nothin
they all tried to help to help me The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn t healthy I travelled places
caught cases
what a ill year I felt the pain and the rain but I m still here Never did like the police
let the whole world know Now I gets no peace
cause they chasin me down And facin me now
what do I do? These thangs that a Thug goes through And still I rise so keep ya head up
and make ya mind strong It s a struggle every day but you gotta hold on [Chorus: repeat 4X] Hold on
be strong
hold on Be strong
hold on When it s on it s on There s
never a good day
cause in my hood they let they AK s pump strays where the kids play And every Halloween
check out the murder scene Can t help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen My homies dyin fore they get to see they birthdays These is the worst days
sometimes it hurts to pray And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth I know that ain t the truth
sometimes I look for proof I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
and if it does Does it matter if you blood or you cuz Remember how it was
the picnics and the parties in the projects Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter I m dealin with the madness
raised by a single mother I m tryin to tell you when it s on You gotta keep your head to the sky and be strong
most of all hold on [Chorus] [Interlude:] Hold on
be strong I know them ain t tears comin down your face When it s on it s on but Wipe your eyes Hold on
be strong In this world When it s on it s on but Only the strong survive y know Hold on
be strong Hmm
I know it s hard out there When it s on it s on but Welfare Hold on
be strong AIDS
earthquakes Cause when it s on it s on but Muggings
carjackings Hold on
and be strong Yeah we got problems Cause when it s on it s on but But believe me when I tell you Hold on
and be strong Things always get better Cause when it s on it s on but God don t like ugly Hold on
and be strong And God don t like no quitters Cause when it s on it s on but You know what Billie Holiday said bay-bee Hold on
and be strong God bless the child that can hold his own Cause when it s on it s on but Y know? Hold on
and be strong You got to stand strong Cause when it s on it s on but And when these bustas try to knock you out your place Hold on
and be strong You stand there to they face Cause when it s on it s on but Tell em hold on
and be strong Hold on
and be strong The game don t stop Cause when it s on it s on but Hmmm Hold on
and be strong This here is black main Cause when it s on it s on but If you don t never leave nothin
learn one thing Hold on
and be strong It don t stop
til the casket drop Hold on Thug
