Hold On Lyrics - Singles - Mav

mav - m a v 

deztined - they say you gotta know pain to know joy 

mav - i feel you 

deztined-i been knowing alot of pain in my life 

mav- me too dog 

deztined - just pray to god for better days 

mav - i mean thats all we can do right 

deztined - do what you do keep your head up 

when i feel your pain I know struggling 

but never give up never at all 

might be a single mother on your own two 

working two jobs going to school 

I know that daddys being daddy 

breaking your back just to handle your biz 

I know the roads getting tuff your alone 

this is for mi gente 

hold on hold on hold on hold 

this is for mi gente 

Her name was anna she was born in loredo / oldest of 6 in a world thats fatal 

her dad was a veteran of world war two doing what ever he had to do to provide food 

moms raised them kids like a full time job anna saw that and wanted to get out 

she was focused a pluses in school and worked at the town store bagging groceries 

pops was a hard worker building fences he jumped out of planes keeping this country defended 

the same mexicano they would let in good schools segregated cause knowledge is a weapon 

yet he still had a good life good kids good wife hard days good nights 

our pain hood life yet he still had a good life put anna thru college mexicanas in a good light! 

when i feel your pain I know struggling 

but never give up never at all 

might be a single mother on your own two 

working two jobs going to school 

I know that daddys being daddy 

breaking your back just to handle your biz 

I know the roads getting tuff your alone 

this is for mi gente 

hold on hold on hold on hold 

this is for mi gente 

this here for the latin rap pioneers/ charlie chase cold crush from the early 80 years 

he paved the way for latin rap to be here so did kid frost, big pun and cypress hill career 

they all helped me manage thru my own struggle so i never take for granted i make the music people lovin 

this for all my mexicanos all my puerto ricans every single cuban and every argentienen 

every single human in the same spot we in 

recession got you stealing and your babysitter stealing 

cuz her mother its abusin got her son shooting. daughters postituting 

and all you got is music 

her papi leaves her brusies dropped outta school no time to be a student a world of confusion 

I also penned this for my gente in the pen 

where all they got is life prision stripes and religion 

when i feel your pain I know struggling 

but never give up never at all 

might be a single mother on your own two 

working two jobs going to school 

I know that daddys being daddy 

breaking your back just to handle your biz 

I know the roads getting tuff your alone 

this is for mi gente 

hold on hold on hold on hold 

this is for mi gente
