Hold on - Kj-52, Curt Anderson

Hold on

You got this

Don’t throw it away

Learn to forgive but don’t forget

Even when it feels like the worst

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 all upon your case

Watching it just slip away

Feeling like it never changed

And now you feeling like your so deranged

Staring out the window where nobody seems

To know ya pain

Help now is on it’s way

God knows what you face

Wipe all the tears away

Let go of all the hate

This all about to change

Know there’s 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 bullies in the hood tryna' come at me

Punching up the wall in the hall while I’m mumbling

Shoved in the stall then I fall down stumbling

Crawl to the wall then I hauled out hustling

Head home where it’s all fall down crumbling

Wondering, Wondering anyone loving me?

Yes there is for the kid feeling ug-a-lee

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 through ya head ya angers now bubblin'

Ran out the door 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 hung-a-ry

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 ya days

He promises to stay

You gone make it through okay

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
