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 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
That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is 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
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 (little bit now)
Hold on just a little bit longer now (just a little bit longer now)
Hold on just a little bit longer now (little bit 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
