Hold On (feat. Wyclef Jean)

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

LiLi, I miss you very much

I want you to hear my pain that I 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 swear things ain't the same no more

But I'ma do my thing till there ain't no more (Yeah)

I got a plan, I wonder how far I 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 copying what we done done

That's why I say

I know you like my shoes, 'cause you walk in 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 deep (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 grind for LiLi, so I must

Timbaland, you gotta hold on (Hold on)

You got to be strong

Though the pain almost over

(My pain almost over)

Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah

(I can't quit yet) You can't quit, you gotta hold on

You got to be strong

(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 fake, it ain't surprising me (Yeah)

Funny how Oo got money, people come around

Soon as Oo 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 kills, 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 fuck that, then you beat me worse

It's pain in this verse, hard to go on (Yeah)

Oo 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?)

A life full of money and a life full of girls

But a heart that's really in deep (Feel my 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

But I gotta grind for LiLi, so I must

Magoo, you gotta hold on (Hold on)

You got to be strong

Though the pain almost over

(My pain almost over)

Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah

(I can't quit yet) You can't quit, you gotta hold on

You got to be strong, yeah)

(My pain almost over)

Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah

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)

My pain almost over

I can't quit yet

My pain almost over

Nah, LiLi, me and 'Goo, we can't quit, oh
