Hold On

[Hook: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado)

Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through

You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today

Even if the Chiney K sprays

[Verse One: Wyclef Jean]

Like I said on BET from the hood to the projects to the mansion

So you got no excuse stop blamin the recession

Go hard, and if you a single mom raisin babies on your own

This one's for you play it as loud as you want

Every block, every school, dream initiation

So build the world make it a better place

Like Michael Jackson we don't wanna see another 9-11 happen

Wish I had talked to them teenagers when them RPG's go in

Head on with the navy seals I would've told them there's a better way

[Hook: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado)

Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through

You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today

Even if the Chiney K sprays

We gotta hold on, be strong

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn (The dawn) beyond (Beyond!)

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!!

It ain't nothin but a blessed day today

The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!!

After the rain dries!!!!!

[Verse Two: Mavado]

To all my thugs that's gone, memories live on

I guess, see you at the crossroad!!!!

So many cry when we die and they wonder if we're in the sky

See you at the crossroad!!!!

I see you in my dream, that night, that crime scene

But don't worry, see you at the crossroad!!!!

Remember we still a team and I know you can hear me now

See you at the crossroad!!!!

[Hook: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado)

Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through

You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today

Even if the Chiney K sprays

We gotta hold on, be strong

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn (The dawn) beyond (Beyond!)

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!!

It ain't nothin but a blessed day today

The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!!

After the rain dries!!!!!

[Bridge: Wyclef Jean]

(She wants to know) She wanna know how long I been playin

(As long as my mama) As long as my mama she been prayin

(She bought me a guitar) She bought me a guitar at eleven

She ain't want me be usin Mac 11's

(When I said) So when I said daddy was gone 'til November

(I knew) I knew that he wouldn't be back in November

Cause I could've been the one in the bank with a shank

With a pump and a ski mask

But my bank is the stage, my 12 gauge a black act

[Hook: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado)

Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through

You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today

Even when the earth quakes

We gotta hold on, be strong

I know that you don't think that I can read your palms

But I see the dawn (The dawn) beyond (Beyond!)

Beyond I can see the sunlight

And if the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!!

It ain't nothin but a blessed day today

The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!!

After the rain dries!!!!!

If the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!!

It ain't nothin but a blessed day today

The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!!

After the rain dries!!!!!
