Hold On

I knew exactly, what you were going through



It's just that I didn't have the right to discuss your problems



I saw you struggling for our education



I saw you struggling to get us clothes to wear, mama



This man you got married to is dead alive?



Over the years I asked myself many questions is he my real dad



Or was I adopted, mama I know it's difficult for you, mama



But hold on I am a little grown up now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



You were a laughing stock in the community



The press didn't rest makin' news out of you, mama



Now is the time to show them



That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is



Now is the time to show them



That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



I know it's not easy for you mama



But your tears will turn to laughter



Now that I'm a grown up mama



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now



Hold on just a little bit longer now
