Hold On

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on

But you gotta keep your head up, be strong

It's gonna get better hold on, hold on

Even though you're in pain just hold on

You'll be back with us again and it won't be long

Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

Days in the hood ain't never easy

Living the life of crime just to get some money

Running in these streets was never part of you dream

Praying that somebody save me

Daddy left home and your mama so sick

How she gone survive when she raising three kids

Had to sell drugs or you wouldn't make it

That part of your life was crazy

Always hoping that tomorrow's gonna come

And one day give back to all the ones that showed you love

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on

But you gotta keep your head up, be strong

It's gonna get better hold on, hold on

Even though you're in pain just hold on

You'll be back with us again and it won't be long

Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

Three shots right now then everybody running round

Saw my homie hit the ground then he didn't make a sound

That's how it ends in the hood everyday

That's why we hustle cause we trying to escape

Blood in your hands mama tell me what did you do

Tell me why you got the po-pos looking for you

That was four years and you did your time

And all you ever wanted is a good life

Always hoping that tomorrow's gonna come

And one day give back to the ones that showed you love

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on

But you gotta keep your head up, be strong

It's gonna get better hold on, hold on

Even though you're in pain just hold on

You'll be back with us again and it won't be long

Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

I pray everyday

That things are gonna change

I hope you hear me (oh lord, oh lord)

When I look to the sky

I wanna cry

No more tears in my eyes (oh no)

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on

But you gotta keep your head up, be strong

It's gonna get better hold on, hold on

Even though you're in pain just hold on

You'll be back with us again and it won't be long

Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on

But you gotta keep your head up, be strong

It's gonna get better hold on, hold on

Even though you're in pain just hold on

You'll be back with us again and it won't be long

Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on
