Lucky Dube - Hold On

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
But hold on I am a little grown up now

Oh Ho

CHORUS
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 oh oh that
he who laughs last laughs
the best, that's the way it is (x2)

CHORUS

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]
