Hold On Lil' Kim (Ft. Mary J. Blige)

[Verse 1: Lil' Kim]
Oh, how it hurts, like childbirth
The wounds heal slow, you just don't know
At times, I don't know what to say
And all I do is pray, day to day
But still, I feel my strength might die
Like right now, I'm tryin' hard not to cry
Even when I close my eyes, I still see it
Damn, I just don't believe it
The bad times I buried, like the cemetery
Unworthy people playin' beneficiaries
A lotta people eatin' off of one man's death
Don't you worry B.I., I'ma ride to my last breath
You killas, caused a lotta devastation
You have no idea what you did to this nation
I fuckin' hate you, excuse my frustration
But just when I'm about to quit, God tells me to just

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Don't you give up, be strong
Hold on, hold on
Things are gonna get better
Tough times, they ain't last so long
Hold on, hold on
If you believe, they will get better
