Lil' Kim - Hold On lyrics

rate me

featuring Mary J. Blige

[Kim - Verse One]

Oh how it hurts, like childbirth

The wounds heal slow, you just don't know

At times, I don't know what to say

And all I do is pray, day to day

But still, I feel my strength might die

Like right now, I'm tryin' hard not to cry

Even when I close my eyes, I still see it

Damn, I just don't believe it

The bad times I buried, like the cemetery

Unworthy people playin' beneficiaries

A lotta people eatin' off of one man's death

Don't you worry B.I., I'mma ride to my last breath

You killas, caused a lotta devastation

You have no idea what you did to this nation

I fuckin' hate you, excuse my frustration

But just when I'm about to quit, God tells me to just

[Mary J. Blige - Chorus]

Don't you give up, be strong

Hold on, hold on

Things are gonna get better

Tough times, they last so long

Hold on, hold on

If you believe, they will get better

[Kim - Verse Two]

Frank White, the man with the money and the fame

Passed away, now bitches wanna claim his name

I been with my nigga before he came in the game

No one's, no V's, we used to take the train

Just us and the Mafia goin' out to parties

I guess back then we was real nobodies

But he was my nigga, and I was his bitch

I rolled hard with him, how could I forget him

Had beef with yo wife that ain't patched up

But still got love for your kids

Even wrote 'em in my will

And I'mma make sure the fam keep a decent meal

No matter what I got to do, or who I got to kill

Shit is real, baby, there ain't no appeal

If I'm fucked up, imagine how Mrs. Wallace feels

Sometimes I sit and think how it would be if we was married

Of if I woulda kept the child that I carried

So to my ladies, don't think I haven't walked in yo shoes

Or thought this was only happenin' to you, righ'

Here's my shoulder, you can lean on this boo

Cuz trust me, I know it's sad but you got to...

[Repeat Chorus]

[Kim - Verse Three]

So I guess you know the story of how it all ends

Depressed, stressed, don't know who's my real friends

One thing's for sure, I can count on my mens

D-Roc, Money, L, Lil' Cease, and PD

My whole B.I. family, remind me of you

We miss you so much, I love you so much

Never thought life without you would be so rough

But I know we gon make it

We ain't happy, but we fakin'

And to New York, thanks for the support

And all our real fans, I'm shoutin' out the whole land

This is somethin' young kids just won't understand

How they took away this beautiful man

Who shared so many memories

I could go on and on, but a song can only be so long

It's been hard, but I told God that I put up a fight

So here's a Long Kiss Goodnight, Frank White
