Hold Her

Growing up I was mess, didn't have, Role models to address, do the math. All these feelings had me quiet and reclusive, It's hard to bury the past when it's abusive. My mood shifts when I reminisce, Only way to cope was living so ignorant. All the anger in my heart was like a flick of a switch, Making it dark, I was parked in the void of oblivion. Didn't know what love was until you showed me, All the screaming and fighting was all I'd ever seen. I wanted peace in my heart, but I was traumatized, Couldn't react to your love, my heart was compromised. All these feelings were new to me through your calming eyes, That's when I knew I had to change, that was the bottom line. You's a kind soul, didn't mind that I prideful, yet, you were mindful. I was full of resentment, thinking my life is independent, But you pulled me from the quicksand. I'ma try to give you all that I can, I see your lips moving slow while you're holding my hand, Telling me... Hold me tightly So I did, and that kid back when is now ya man. Hold me tightly You's a beautiful woman from outside and within. Hold me tightly So I did, and that kid back when is now ya man. Hold me tightly You's a beautiful woman from outside and within. Me, me, Hold me Whoever's listening right now, I wish you all the best. If you're living in the past, maybe watch where you step, 'Cause you don't wanna repeat all the pain that was problematic, Anxiety making you asthmatic. Remember, you're the new generation breaking the cycle, And if you plant a seed, that baby is your disciple. You'd better be an example, And dismantle any mistakes you were taught on the way. Too many boys are their daddy's son, And many girls wish they had a mom. Put them together, now you have a song. And I don't blame my dukes because they made me who I am, Took me a second to understand. That generational trauma can span years, And all the tears we had, are now cleared. Now that I'm older, got my woman by my side, And every time I look at her I recognize, How much we've grown with each other, Alone I don't suffer, 'cause baby you supported me, You're more than a lover. And I'ma try to give you all that I can, I see your lips moving slow, while you're holding my hand, Telling me... Hold me tightly So I did, and that kid back when is now ya man. Hold me tightly You's a beautiful woman from outside and within. Hold me tightly So I did, and that kid back when is now ya man. Hold me tightly You's a beautiful woman from outside and within. Me, me, Hold me Hold me
