Hold On

[Intro: K-Rino] Say, get on up.. Get up Come on.. We got work to do Come on, get up [Verse 1: K-Rino] She brought a baby in this world, nobody to help her The dude that went half on it with her straight left her Her heart wasn't broken cause she really didn't want him And even contemplated filing child support on him But instead she was like, "Nah, it's cool let him leave I'ma make sure that my baby got everything he need" New clothes, new toys, plenty love, yeah she did it And she ain't need the Government, no welfare to get it Got a job, didn't pay her much, still she was on it Waiting for the bus at 6:30 in the morning She was tired everyday, still focused on the grind But every now and then she didn't make it on time Came home, had to take care and feed him, barely sleeping Hustling every week tryna get people to keep him Then they called her in the office, "We gotta' let you go" She was 'bout to break down but I'm hear to let you know [Hook: K-Rino (Astrid Nora)] (You gotta.. hold.. hold on.. hold on) When life is heavy and them pitfalls hit you And it's feeling like it ain't nobody on your team with ya (You'll be all.. alright.. alright..) Pull your inner strength out and bring the problem to an end You gotta deal with what it is instead of what it could've been [Verse 2: K-Rino] Now she back to square one, but not looking for a hand out A child she gotta feed and her money just ran out Still had ambition, despite her condition Some shady cats hit her with some crazy propositions And normally she'd pay no attention or even listen But the bread was fast, plus it was good, so it was tempting But every time she saw her child it rapidly passed Thoughts of that embarrassment brought back reality fast And as for the few little crumbs that she had stashed A couple days at the most that barely would last Never knew her dad, he living but dead in her eyes And beef with Momma eventually made 'em break ties Haven't spoke to her in months, now she's really all alone Pressure building up, rent due, money all gone No friends she can lean on, struggling everyday Now it's looking like that night life might be her only way [Hook: K-Rino (Astrid Nora)] [Verse 3: K-Rino] Now she on her last leg, done ran out of options Contemplating putting her baby up for adoption Crying every night, whole world out of order With no man and no family members to support her Now she's sitting on the bed, baby in her arms rocking Tryna keep it quiet while the rent man was knocking He was looking for his money, it was over and she knew it And what she had to do to stay, she didn't want to do it So she looked at a photograph, reached out to grab it Cried as she carried it to the medicine cabinet Stared in the mirror, opened up the pill bottle And once she swallows all of them, darkness will follow And right before she gave up the pain was uncovered The picture that she held in her hand was her mother Then the phone rang, a familiar voice said I saw you Last night in a dream my daughter you need me so where are you? [Hook: K-Rino (Astrid Nora)] [Outro: Astrid Nora] Hold on, hold on You'll beeeeeeee, alright.. alright.. See some brighter days (x3) You just gotta' hold on.. hold on
