Hold On Lyrics by Lil' Kim

Hold On Lyrics

    [Kim - Verse One]
    Oh how it hurts, like child birth
    The wounds heal slow, you just don't know
    At times, I don't know what to say
    And all I do is pray, day to day
    But still, I feel my strength might die
    Like right now, I'm tryin' hard not to cry
    Even when I close my eyes, I still see it
    Damn, I just don't believe it
    The bad times I buried, like the cemetery
    Unworthy people playin' beneficiaries
    A lotta people eatin' off of one man's death
    Don't you worry B.I., I'ma ride to my last breath
    You killas, caused a lotta devastation
    You have no idea what you did to this nation
    I fuckin' hate you, excuse my frustration
    But just when I'm about to quit, God tells me to just

    [Mary J. Blige - Chorus]
    Don't you give up, be strong
    Hold on, hold on
    Things are gonna get better
    Tough times, they last so long
    Hold on, hold on
    If you believe, they will get better

    [Kim - Verse Two]
    Frank White, the man with the money and the fame
    Passed away, now bitches wanna claim his name
    I been with my nigga before he came in the game
    No one's, no V's, we used to take the train
    Just us and the Mafia goin' out to parties
    I guess back then we was real nobodies
    But he was my nigga, and I was his bitch
    I rolled hard with him, how could I forget him
    Had beef with yo wife that ain't patched up
    But still got love for your kids
    Even wrote 'em in my will
    And I'ma make sure the fam keep a decent meal
    No matter what I got to do, or who I got to kill
    Shit is real, baby, there ain't no appeal
    If I'm fucked up, imagine how Mrs. Wallace feels
    Sometimes I sit and think how it would be if we was married
    Of if I woulda kept the child that I carried
    So to my ladies, don't think I haven't walked in yo shoes
    Or thought this was only happenin' to you, righ'
    Here's my shoulder, you can lean on this boo
    Cuz trust me, I know exactly what you're going through

    [Chorus]

    [Kim - Verse Three]
    So I guess you know the story of how it all ends
    Depressed, stressed, don't know who's my real friends
    One thing's for sure, I can count on my mens
    D-Roc, Money, L, Lil' Cease, and PD
    My whole B.I. family, remind me of you
    We miss you so much, I love you so much
    Never thought life without you would be so rough
    But I know we gon make it
    We ain't happy, but we fakin'
    And to New York, thanks for the support
    And all our real fans, I'm shoutin' out the whole land
    This is somethin' young kids just won't understand
    How they took away this beautiful man
    Who shared so many memories
    I could go on and on, but a song can only be so long
    It's been hard, but I told God that I put up a fight
    So here's a Long Kiss Goodnight, Frank White

    [Chorus]
