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
Oh Ho
[Chorus:]
Hold on just a little bit longer now [x4]
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 [x2]
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus: till fade]
Hold on just a little bit longer now
