Hold On - Lucky Dube

I knew exactly

What you were going through

It’s just that I didn’t have the right

To discuss your problems I saw you struggling

For our education I saw you struggling to get us clothes to wear mama

This man you got married to is dead alive

Over the years I asked myself

Many questions Is he my real dad or

Was I adopted mama I know it’s difficult for you mama

But hold on I am a little grown up now

Oh Ho

Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)

You were a laughing stock in the community

The press didn’t rest

Makin' news out of you mama

Now is the time to show them that he who laughs last laughs the best,

that’s the way it is (x2)

Hold on just a little bit longer now

I know it’s not easy for you mama but your tears will turn to laughter now that

I"m a grown up mama

Chorus till fade
