K-Rino, Astrid Nora - Hold On lyrics

Say, get on up get up
Come on we got work to do come on, get up

She brought a baby in this world
Nobody to help her
The dude that went half on it
With her straight left her
Her heart wasn't broken cause she
Really didn't want him
And even contemplated filing child
Support on him
But instead she was like, "Nah
It's cool let him leave
I'ma make sure that my baby
Got everything he need"
New clothes, new toys, plenty love
Yeah she did it
And she ain't need the Government
No welfare to get it
Got a job, didn't pay her much
Still she was on it
Waiting for the bus at 6: 30 in the morning
She was tired everyday
Still focused on the grind
But every now and then she
Didn't make it on time
Came home, had to take care and feed him
Barely sleeping
Hustling every week tryna get
People to keep him
Then they called her in the office
"We gotta' let you go"
She was 'bout to break down but
I'm hear to let you know

(You gotta hold hold on hold on)
When life is heavy and them pitfalls hit you
And it's feeling like it ain't nobody
On your team with ya
(You'll be all alright alright)
Pull your inner strength out and bring
The problem to an end
You gotta deal with what it is
Instead of what it could've been

Now she back to square one
But not looking for a hand out
A child she gotta feed and
Her money just ran out
Still had ambition, despite her condition
Some shady cats hit her
With some crazy propositions
And normally she'd pay no
Attention or even listen
But the bread was fast, plus it was good
So it was tempting
But every time she saw her
Child it rapidly passed
Thoughts of that embarrassment brought
Back reality fast and as for the few little
Crumbs that she had stashed
A couple days at the most
That barely would last never knew her dad
He living but dead in her eyes
And beef with Momma eventually
Made 'em break ties
Haven't spoke to her in months
Now she's really all alone
Pressure building up, rent due
Money all gone no friends she can lean on
Struggling everyday
Now it's looking like that night life
Might be her only way
(You gotta hold hold on hold on)
When life is heavy and them pitfalls hit you
And it's feeling like it ain't nobody
On your team with ya
(You'll be all alright alright)
Pull your inner strength out and bring
The problem to an end
You gotta deal with what it is
Instead of what it could've been

Now she on her last leg
Done ran out of options
Contemplating putting her baby
Up for adoption
Crying every night, whole world out of order
With no man and no family
Members to support her
Now she's sitting on the bed
Baby in her arms rocking
Tryna keep it quiet while the
Rent man was knocking
He was looking for his money
It was over and she knew it
And what she had to do to stay
She didn't want to do it
So she looked at a photograph
Reached out to grab it
Cried as she carried it
To the medicine cabinet
Stared in the mirror
Opened up the pill bottle
And once she swallows all of them
Darkness will follow
And right before she gave up
The pain was uncovered
The picture that she held in
Her hand was her mother then the phone rang
A familiar voice said I saw you
Last night in a dream my daughter you
Need me so where are you?

(You gotta hold hold on hold on)
When life is heavy and them pitfalls hit you
And it's feeling like it ain't nobody
On your team with ya
(You'll be all alright alright)
Pull your inner strength out and bring
The problem to an end
You gotta deal with what it is
Instead of what it could've been

Hold on, hold on
You'll beeeeeeee, alright alright
See some brighter days
You just gotta' hold on hold on
