Lucky Dube - Hold On lyrics

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
