Hold on
You got this
Don't throw it away
Learn to forgive but don't forget
Even when it feels like the works
Hold on you got this don't throw it away
Make more memories than regrets
If nothing else just live and learn
What if I was talking to the younger me
Way back when I was three
Running up and down the street
Not a thing I'll ever need no shoes up on my feet
Sitting in the puddle causing trouble for my family
I would say "get ready things are about to change"
I would say "hold steady even if you run away"
I would say "nobody knows what you about to face"
I would say "oh buddy hold for a better day"
You got them teachers aw upon your case
Watching it just slip away feeling like it never change
And now your feeling like your so deranged
Staring out the window where nobody seems
To know your pain
Help now is on its way God knows what you face
Wipe all the tears away let go of all the hate
This all about to change know theres a better way
Roll with the punches you can hold for a better day
Hold on
You got this
Don't throw it away
Learn to forgive but don't forget
Even when it feels like the works
Hold on you got this don't throw it away
Make more memories than regrets
If nothing else just live and learn
What if I was talking to the younger me
Thirteen With the shirt clean and some dungarees
Acid washed ripped jeans
Stripe like a bumble bee
Running from the bowies in the hood tryna' come at me
Punch'n up the wall with hall while in mumbling
Shoved in the stall then I fall down stumbling
Crawl to the wall then I have out hustling
Head home where its all fall down crumbling
Wondering wondering anyone loving me?
Yes there is for the kid feeling ugly
Zits on your face and your kicks quite struggling
Helps on its way its gonna change quite suddenly
Screaming at the top of your lungs till its thunderin'
Words pound threw ya head ya angels now bubblin'
Ran out the poor down the street to your cousin nem'
Found out everything you need He had it covered Man
Hold on
You got this
Don't throw it away
Learn to forgive but don't forget
Even when it feels like the works
Hold on you got this don't throw it away
Make more memories than regrets
If nothing else just live and learn
What if I was talking to the younger me
Right around twenty three
Young MC hungry
Head full of dreams got a heart full of ministry
Head full of stream got some art for the industry
Can't find a part just to start in my own space
Too white, too broke, no talent, no name
That's what they said I went my own way
Messing with my head I don't listen to what they gonna say
But I need to be slow to speak
Take time just to breathe it keeps me in perfect peace
And enjoy all the mystery
Learn to shut up dude
Learn how to listen please
And through the darkest of your days
He promises to stay
You gone make it through ok
And this is what I'd say...
Hold on
You got this
Don't throw it away
Learn to forgive but don't forget
Even when it feels like the works
Hold on you got this don't throw it away
Make more memories than regrets
If nothing else just live and learn
Hold on
You got this
Don't throw it away
Learn to forgive but don't forget
Even when it feels like the works
Hold on you got this don't throw it away
Make more memories than regrets
If nothing else just live and learn
Make more memories than regrets
If nothing else just live and learn
