Hold On Be Strong (Explicit) - 2Pac (图派克)

Hold on

Yeah it's gonna be alright

Don't trip baby

It'll get better

Aye do this thug style man thug style

When this whole beat drop

We just gon' run it to 'em

Bet it's all good uh

I never had much ran with a bad bunch

Little skinny kid sneakin' w**d in my bag lunch

And all through Junior High we was just gettin' by

And drive by's robbed my homies of their young lives

I never did cry and even though I had pain

In my heart

I was hopeless from the start

They couldn't tell me nothin' they all tried to help

Me

The m*******a had my mind gone it wasn't healthy

I traveled places caught cases what a I'll year

I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still

Here

Never did like the police

Let the whole world know now I gets no peace

'Cause they chasin' me down

And facin' me now what do I do

These things that a thug goes through

And still I rise so keep your head up

And make your mind strong

It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

When it's on it's on

There's never a good day 'cause in my hood they

Let they AK's pump strays where the kids play

And every Halloween check out the murder scene

Can't help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen

My homies dyin' before they get to see they birthdays

These is the worst days sometimes it hurts to pray

And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth

I know that ain't the truth sometimes I look for

Proof

I wonder if heaven got a ghetto and if it

Does

Does it matter if you Blood or you Cuz

Remember how it was

The picnics and the parties in the projects

Small time drinkin' gettin' high with them armies

Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter

I'm dealin' with the madness raised by a single mother

I'm tryin' to tell you when it's on

You gotta keep your head to the sky

And be strong most of all hold on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

Hold on be strong

When it's on it's on

Hold on be strong

I know them ain't tears comin' down your face

Wipe your eyes

In this world only the strong survive we are

Hehe I know it's hard out there

Welfare AIDS earthquakes muggings car jackings

Yeah we got problems

But believe me when I tell you things always get

Better

God don't like ugly and God don't like no quitters

You know what Billie Holiday said

Bay bee God bless the child that can hold his own

You know You got to stand strong

And when these bustas try to knock you out your

Place

You stand there to they face

Tell 'em Hold on and be strong

The game don't stop huh

This here is black man

If you don't never learn nothin' learn one thing

It don't stop 'til the casket drop ah

Thug for life feel me

All my homeboys and my homegirls stay strong

When things get bad

Especially come the first and the fifteenth

Stay strong and stay ballin' hold on

I'll catch y'all at the next life we in traffic
