Taj Jackson Hold On Lyrics

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on
But you gotta keep your head up, be strong
It's gonna get better hold on, hold on
Even though you're in pain just hold on
You'll be back with us again and it won't be long
Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

Days in the hood ain't never easy
Living the life of crime just to get some money
Running in these streets was never part of you dream
Praying that somebody save me
Daddy left home and your mama so sick
How she gone survive when she raising three kids
Had to sell drugs or you wouldn't make it
That part of your life was crazy
Always hoping that tomorrow's gonna come
And one day give back to all the ones that showed you love

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on
But you gotta keep your head up, be strong
It's gonna get better hold on, hold on
Even though you're in pain just hold on
You'll be back with us again and it won't be long
Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

Three shots right now then everybody running round
Saw my homie hit the ground then he didn't make a sound
That's how it ends in the hood everyday
That's why we hustle cause we trying to escape
Blood in your hands mama tell me what did you do Tell me why you got the po-pos looking for you
That was four years and you did your time
And all you ever wanted is a good life
Always hoping that tomorrow's gonna come
And one day give back to the ones that showed you love

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on
But you gotta keep your head up, be strong
It's gonna get better hold on, hold on
Even though you're in pain just hold on
You'll be back with us again and it won't be long
Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

I pray everyday
That things are gonna change
I hope you hear me (oh lord, oh lord)
When I look to the sky
I wanna cry
No more tears in my eyes (oh no)

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on
But you gotta keep your head up, be strong
It's gonna get better hold on, hold on
Even though you're in pain just hold on
You'll be back with us again and it won't be long
Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on

I know the hood's getting rough just hold on
But you gotta keep your head up, be strong
It's gonna get better hold on, hold on
Even though you're in pain just hold on
You'll be back with us again and it won't be long
Remember I'm your friend just hold on, hold on
