Mavado - Hold On (Haiti Tribute) lyrics

Oh! You know what? (good good good) I go through a lot, since my baby girl's not here Life ain't been the same for me Li Li I miss you very much I want you to hear my pain that I go through (go through ...) It's been three years (AH!), livin this fast life I think on it, I know one day I won't have life People don't know me over the time B They don't wanna know me, they wanna know my G's Li I quit, things ain't the same no more But I'ma do my thing 'til there ain't no more (yeah) I got a plan, I wonder how far it can go I demand the best for myself, that's all I know I, done seen the world become Products of a revolution that we begun (yeah) Make me wanna split a swisher, I need me one They keep on coping more deed than one That's why I say ... I know you like my shoes, cause you walkin my shoes And would you be prepared to see (would ya?) A life full of money and a life full of girls But a heart that's really in deed (feel my pain) A lot of people yellin ("we love ya Timbaland") But I know y'all really envy(ooo) I don't know who's in my corner, don't know where is my corner But I gotta grab onto Li So I must .. Hey, Timbaland you gotta hold on (hold on) But you got to be strong The pains almost over (Timbaland: My pain almost over) Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah (Timbaland: I can't quit yet), you can't quit You gotta hold on, you got to be strong (Timbaland: Uh, my pain almost over) Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah Pain, can't you see the pain in my eyes? The lie behind my cries, don't you sympathize with me You don't have to wonder when I come You label me a bum, you think it ain't suprisin me (yeah) Funny how boo got money, people come around Soon as boo fail, kick 'em to the ground (yeah) Not just neighbors, the whole damn town Own flesh and blood, said I was a clown But as the world turns, my life can too And like a gun k**s, a knife can too (yeah) I was stabbed thrice, how 'bout you? Once by my mom, pops the other two Child abuse kid, ward of the state I know it was the past, but I just can't shake How you had a kid, beat me like a slave I was only three, how could I misbehave? I didn't know better, you could teach me first You said f** that, then you beat me worse It's pain in this verse, hard to go on (yeah) Boo is a man, so I must hold on I know you like my shoes, cause you walk in my shoes And would you be prepared to see (would ya?) (Wyclef: yeah) A life full of money and a life full of girls But a heart that's really in deed (full of pain) A lot of people yellin ("we love ya Maganoo") But I know y'all really envy(ooo) I don't know who's in my corner, don't know where is my corner (Wyclef: yeah) But I gotta grab onto Li, uh huh So I must .. You gotta hold on (hold on) But you got to be strong The pains almost over (Timbaland: my pains almost over) Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah (Timbaland: I can't quit yet), can't quit You gotta hold on (yeah) You got to be strong (yeah) (Timbaland: my pains almost over) Yeah, look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah (yeah) Yeah, yo, I seen Brooklyn turn into Crook-lyn The youngn's they spend their life in central Crook-lyn (yeah) I've seen prom queens, turn into prom fiends Sometime I ask myself what happen to Dr. King's "Dream" (yeah) I've seen best friends, turn to enemies What made it sad, I had to sing at the eulogy So hard for us to say goodbye So I puff the lye and stay high (yeah) The man you said was your fam in the park (yeah) Saw your face spark when you found out he was a Narc (yeah) Cause everybody wanna be Nino Brown They wanna be Nino Brown, they wanna be Nino Brown (yeah) And the girls they love the Nino Brown They hug they Nino Brown, they lust for Nino Brown (yeah) And the fiends they want the Nino Brown The way he hold you down, when he comes around (yeah) (*echo*) The pain never stops baby Li Li, I hope ya hear this Cause life will never be the same without you girl (Wyclef: yeah) Timbaland talkin to you (Wyclef: yeah, yo, yo) We ain't used to nothin This music industry, will never be the same without you Nothin but pain, hard struggle But me and Jimmy D, we're gonna keep ridin for ya Cause life must go on You must live on So we gotta hold on, c'mon (Hold on) uh, (hold on) My pain almost over (hold on, hold on) I can't quit yet (hold on, hold on) My pain almost over (hold on, hold on) Nah Li Li, me and 'Goo we can't quit, OH!
