Lyrics Wyclef Jean

Wyclef Jean

Hold On

L'union fait la force

R.I.P Jimmy yo

From the ashes we shall rise

Fan'Fan' Young clef

To my country of Haiti

Hold on, be strong

No matter what you're goin' through

You know it's gon' be okay, okay, today

Even when the earth quakes

Like I said on BET, from the hood to the projects to the mansion,

So you got no excuse

Stop blaming the recession,

Go harder for Haiti

Send a text on your phone, Y E L E, 5 0 1 5 0 1

Every block, every school, dream initiation

So build the world make it a better place, like Michael Jackson we don't wanna see another 9-11 happen

Wish I had talked to them teenagers, with them rpg's

Goin' way head on with the navy seals

I would've told them theres a better way

Hold on,(aint gotta be that way) be strong

No matter what you're goin through

You know it's gon' be okay, okay, today, today

Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, hold on, be strong, be strong

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn,the dawn, beyond

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down,

It ain't nothing but a blessed day today,

The sun will shine after the rain dries

To all mah thugs dat gone, memories live on, I guess

see you at the crossroad

So many cry when we die and they wonder if we're in the sky

see you at the crossroad

I see you in my dream, dat night, dat crime scene

but don't worry, see you at the crossroad

Remember we still a team and I know you can hear me now

see you at the crossroad

Hold on(aint gotta be that way), be strong

No matter what you're goin through

you know it's gon' be ok, ok, today, today

Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, hold on, be strong, be strong

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn, the dawn, beyond

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down,

It ain't nothing but a blessed day today,

The sun will shine after the rain dries

She wants to know, she wanna know how long I been playin'

As long as my mother, as long as my momma she been prayin'

She bought me a guitar, she bought me a guitar at eleven

She ain't want me be usin mac 11's

When I sing, so when I said daddy was gone 'til November

I knew, I knew that he wouldn't be back in November

Cause I could've been the one in the bank with a shank

with a pump and a ski mask

But my bank is the stage, my 12 gauge is black ***

Hold on,(aint gotta be that way) be strong, be strong

No matter what you're goin through,

you know it's gon' be ok, ok, today, today

Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, hold on, be strong, be strong

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn, the dawn, beyond

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the rain falls down,

It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today

The sun will shine, after the rain dries

If the rain falls down,

It ain't nothin' but a blessed day today,

The sun will shine, after the rain dries, rain dries, rain dries
