Hold On (feat. Wyclef Jean) Lyrics

Oh, you know what?
I go through a lot, since my baby girl's not here
Life ain't been the same for me
Leelee I miss you very much
I want you to hear my pain that I go through

It's been three years, living this fast life
I stay cautious, I know one day I won't have life

People don't know me over the time B
They don't wanna know me, they wanna know my G's
Lee I swear things ain't the same no more
But I'mma do my thang, til it ain't no more
I got a plan, I wonder how far I can go
I demand the best for myself, cause all I know
I, done seen the world become
Products of a revolution that we begun
Make me wanna split a swisha, I need me one
To keep on copyin what we done done, that's why I say

I know you like my shoes, cause you walk in my shoes
And would you be prepared to see (would ya)
A life full of money and a life full of girls
With a heart that's really in deep (feel my pain)
A lot of people yellin (we love you Timbaland)
But I know y'all really envy
I don't know who's in my corner, don't know where is my corner
But I gotta grind for Leelee, so I must

Timbaland you gotta hold on, you got to be strong
My pain almost over
Look towards the sky there's only one Jehovah
Can't quit yet
Timbaland you gotta hold on, you got to be strong
My pain almost over
Look towards the sky there's only one Jehovah

Can't you see the pain in my eyes, the lie behind my cries
Don't you sympathize with me?
You don't have to run when I come, you label me a bum
You fake it ain't surprisin me

Funny how Oo got money, people come around
Soon as Oo fail, kick him to the ground
Not just neighbors, the whole damn town
Own flesh and blood, said I was a clown
But as the world turns, my life can too
And like a gun kills, a knife can too

I was stabbed thrice, how bout you?
Once by my mom, pops the other two
Child abuse kid, ward of the state
I know it was the past, but I just can't shake
How you had a kid, beat me like a slave
I was only three, how could I misbehave?
I didn't know better, you could teach me first
You said fuck that, then you beat me worse
It's pain in this verse, hard to go on

Oo is a man, so I must hold on

I know you like my shoes, cause you walk in my shoes
And would you be prepared to see (would ya)
A life full of money and a life full of girls
With a heart that's really in deep (feel my pain)
A lot of people yellin (we love you Magoo)
But I know y'all really envy
I don't know who's in my corner, don't know where is my corner
But I gotta grind for Leelee, so I must

Timbaland you gotta hold on, you got to be strong
My pain almost over
Look towards the sky there's only one Jehovah
Can't quit yet
Timbaland you gotta hold on, you got to be strong
My pain almost over
Look towards the sky there's only one Jehovah

Yo, I seen Brooklyn turn into Crook-lyn
And young'ns they spend they life in Central Crook-lyn
I seen prom queens turn into prom fiends
Sometimes I ask myself what happened to Dr. King's dreams
I seen best friends turn to enemies
What made it sad, I had to sing at the eulogy
So hard for us to say goodbye
So I puff the lye and stay high

The man you said was your fam in the park
Saw your face spark, when you found out he was a narc

Cause everybody wanna be Nino Brown
They wanna be Nino Brown, they wanna be Nino Brown yeah
And the girls they love they Nino Brown
They hug they Nino Brown, they lust for Nino Brown yeah
And the fiends they want they Nino Brown
The way he holds them down, when he comes around yeah

The pain never stops baby
Leelee, I hope you hear us
Cause life will never be the same without you girl
Timbaland talkin to ya
You ain't missin nothin
This music industry, would never be the same without you
Nothin but pain, hard struggles
Me and Jimmy D we gon keep ridin for ya
Cause life must go on, you must live on
So we gotta hold on, c'mon

My pain almost over
I can't quit yet
My pain almost over
Naw Leelee, me and Oo we can't quit oh
