Hold On
You're beautiful, you know that? Uh, huh Do you know that? Yes, you do, you know When those kids tease you, uh, huh, don't you ever worry about that Because you're very beautiful, do you know you're beautiful? Are you ready? Ma, I love you, I love you
He pushed her down and called her black and ugly She asked why must you tease me? He laughed at her, said, You're from Africa Your hair is peasey, your skin is dark and greasy And plus you are so beneath me'
Please trust me, it wasn't easy For diamond it scarred her deeply Plays like a offender bass to myself I thought how much does gender play
Remembering such hatred at this tender age If I could send a mental page My thoughts would end the rage Reminiscent of the looks to her in class I gave my eyes would say
Hold on, I'm sure there's so much more to live for If you hold on, things'll change, so come on, be strong And hold on, I'm sure there's so much more to live for As you grow strong things'll change, no pain, no gain
Please be willing to fight for your will Despite writings from William lynch Millions tried to rise like helium But died in the fields and the trenches
Cries from the killing is senseless Eyes to the ceiling it quenches A thirst in the feeling thats endless The prize like a rain that rinses
The soul and cleanses yo' mind From white picketed fences Heads up your ass, splinters and face Meant to they ride and bench us
The masters pastored disaster Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Them fascious bastards They crafted this hazardous plan And still has a spoken advantage
We shoulder the struggle With the weight of a boulder that muffles The sound of provocative thinking The pieces of puzzles incompleted
Only deleted to be push to the back of yo' mind Like a hairline that has receded, now we repeated The process but never weeded the problem out Heeded the warnings but never proceeded to solve it No forward progress, it's obvious the soul is gone I meditate and pray that these words will somehow allow you to
Hold on, I'm sure there's so much more to live for If you hold on, things'll change, so come on, be strong And hold on, I'm sure there's so much more to live for As you grow strong things'll change, no pain, no gain
See, now diamond is priceless, timeless How she maneuvers like Heimlich in this new world It reminds me of Isis, she knows now that Her complexion is a holy device, a protection from UV rays In this negative time of crisis like a knife that butter slices
Easily to anger she reacts pious Like a cell protecting itself from a virus Twice as strong as her demeanor Now she is righteous, God is what you see now When you peer inside her iris
Hold on, I'm sure there's so much more to live for If you hold on, things'll change, so come on, be strong And hold on, I'm sure there's so much more to live for As you grow strong things'll change, no pain, no gain
Diamond, you're so beautiful You can change this world if you want to, girl, oh Ooh, come on, grow strong
