Hold On

(Album: Back To Then - 2002)

She lives right there off of Rutledge Avenue
She has a few friends but she only has a few
Her next door neighbor plays his music way too loud
She often complains but they play it anyhow

What is a girl supposed to do?
Living alone can have you so confused
But remember now

It won't be too long, girl
Find out where you belong
When you're feeling afraid and alone
Just remember two words, hold on

She works all day to put herself through school
'Cause financial aid doesn't seem to cover food, no, no, no, no
Every morning she rides on the bus to make her gains
It's easy to attain but so hard to sustain, yeah

What is a girl supposed to do
Living alone can have you so confused
But remember now

It won't be too long, girl
You find out where you belong
Whether you're feeling afraid and alone
Just remember two words, hold on

She's coping with pain of things she left behind
Multiple pressures that cloud her mind
And she feels it, her eyes carry no signs of joy

She's tired of rubbing it all the time
Found independence is not so kind
Life ain't easy, all she needs is a friend

Hold on

It won't be too long, girl
Find out where you belong
Feeling afraid and alone
Remember two words, hold on

It won't be too long
Find out where you belong
Feeling afraid and alone
Remember two words, hold on
