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
