The Moments

First of the month's got him stressing again

He feels like running cause times are so hard

His family's hungry, he's starting to get scared

He's got no money, he can't get a job

Can't figure out just what he did to deserve this

So lately he's been talking to god

Now every Sunday, he's on his knees and service

He's contemplating giving it up

These are the days

These are the moments

These are the seconds that define our lives

Can't say that you want it

Better get up and own it

Don't let it pass you by

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

It's gonna get better

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

It's gonna get better

She's sitting pretty

She's the top of her class

Her grades are perfect and so is her life

Accepted to Harvard, Stanford and Yale

She doesn't know it but she's got a full ride

She can't tell her parents but in a couple of months

There'll be no hiding what's been growing inside her

Can't help but crying cause she's nervous as hell

She don't wanna do it but she's standing in line

Oh these are the days

These are the moments

These are the seconds that define our lives

Can't say that you want it

Better get up and own it

Don't let it pass you by

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

It's gonna get better

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

It's gonna get better

I can't say I've got the answer to the situation

And the problems that you be going through

But I'm listening to everything that you gotta say

Need a shoulder to lean on? I'm right here

Need somebody to be strong? I'm right here

Just want you to know you're not alone

You gotta hold on

Oh these are the days

These are the moments

These are the seconds that define our lives

Can't say that you want it

Better get up and own it

Don't let it pass you by

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

It's gonna get better

Hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

It's gonna get better
