Lil' Kim - Hold On Lyrics
featuring Mary J. Blige[Kim - Verse One]Oh how it hurts, like childbirthThe wounds heal slow, you just don't knowAt times, I don't know what to sayAnd all I do is pray, day to dayBut still, I feel my strength might dieLike right now, I'm tryin' hard not to cryEven when I close my eyes, I still see itDamn, I just don't believe itThe bad times I buried, like the cemeteryUnworthy people playin' beneficiariesA lotta people eatin' off of one man's deathDon't you worry B.I., I'mma ride to my last breathYou killas, caused a lotta devastationYou have no idea what you did to this nationI *****in' hate you, excuse my frustrationBut just when I'm about to quit, God tells me to just[Mary J.
