Hold On Be Strong

I never had much, ran with a bad bunch

Little skinny kid sneakin shit in my bag lunch

And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by

And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives

I never did cry, and even though I had

pain in my heart, I was hopeless from the start

They couldn\'t tell me nothin, they all tried to help to help me

The ********* had my mind gone it wasn\'t healthy

I travelled places, caught cases, what a ill year

I felt the pain and the rain but I\'m still here

Never did like the police, let the whole world know

Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down

And facin me now, what do I do?

These thangs that a Thug goes through

And still I rise so keep ya head up, and make ya mind strong

It\'s a struggle every day but you gotta hold on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on

When it\'s on it\'s on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on,be strong

When it\'s on it\'s on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on,be strong

When it\'s on it\'s on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on,be strong

When it\'s on it\'s on

There\'s, never a good day, cause in my hood they

let they AK\'s pump strays where the kids play

And every Halloween, check out the murder scene

Can\'t help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen

My homies dyin \'fore they get to see they birthdays

These is the worst days, sometimes it hurts to pray

And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth

I know that ain\'t the truth, sometimes I look for proof

I wonder if heaven got a ghetto, and if it does

Does it matter if you blood or you cuz

Remember how it was, the picnics and the parties in theprojects

Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies

Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter

I\'m dealin with the madness, raised by a single mother

I\'m tryin to tell you when it\'s on

You gotta keep your head to the sky and be strong, most of allhold on

Hold on,hold on,be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on

When it\'s on it\'s on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on,be strong

When it\'s on it\'s on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on,be strong

When it\'s on it\'s on

Hold on, be strong, hold on

Be strong, hold on,be strong

When it\'s on it\'s on

I know them ain\'t tears comin down your face

Wipe your eyes

In this world

Only the strong survive y\'know

Hmm, I know it\'s hard out there

Welfare

AIDS, earthquakes

Muggings, carjackings

Yeah we got problems

But believe me when I tell you

Things always get better

God don\'t like ugly

And God don\'t like no quitters

You know what Billie Holiday said bay-bee

God bless the child that can hold his own

Y\'know?

You got to stand strong

And when these bustas try to knock you out your place

You stand there to they face

Tell em hold on, and be strong

The game don\'t stop

This here is black main

If you don\'t never leave nothin, learn one thing

It don\'t stop, til the casket drop

Thug, for Life... feel me?

All my homeboys and my homegirls, stay strong

When things get bad, especially come the first and thefifteenth

Stay strong, and stay ballin, hold on

I\'ll catch y\'all at the next life, we in traffic
