1
Hold on... [lighter flicks up]
2
Yeah it's gonna be alright, don't trip baby [inhales]
3
It'll get better... [coughing]
4
Ay do this Thug style main, Thug style
5
When this whole beat drop we just gon' run it to em bet
6
It's all good, uhh
7
I never had much, ran with a bad bunch
8
Little skinny kid sneakin weed in my bag lunch
9
And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by
10
And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives
11
I never did cry, and even though I had
12
Pain in my heart, I was hopeless from the start
13
They couldn't tell me nothin, they all tried to help to help me
14
The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn't healthy
15
I travelled places, caught cases, what a I'll year
16
I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here
17
Never did like the police, let the whole world know
18
Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down
19
And facin me now, what do I do?
20
These thangs that a Thug goes through
21
And still I rise so keep ya head up, and make ya mind strong
22
It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on
23
[Chorus: repeat 4X]
24
Hold on, be strong, hold on
25
Be strong, hold on
26
When it's on it's on
27
There's, never a good day, cause in my hood they
28
Let they ak's pump strays where the kids play
29
And every Halloween, check out the murder scene
30
Can't help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen
31
My homies dyin 'fore they get to see they birthdays
32
These is the worst days, sometimes it hurts to pray
33
And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth
34
I know that ain't the truth, sometimes I look for proof
35
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto, and if it does
36
Does it matter if you blood or you cuz
37
Remember how it was, the picnics and the parties in the projects
38
Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies
39
Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter
40
I'm dealin with the madness, raised by a single mother
41
I'm tryin to tell you when it's on
42
You gotta keep your head to the sky and be strong, most of all hold on
43
[Chorus:]
44
[Interlude:]
45
Hold on, be strong
46
I know them ain't tears comin down your face
47
When it's on it's on but
48
Wipe your eyes
49
Hold on, be strong
50
In this world
51
When it's on it's on but
52
Only the strong survive y'know
53
Hold on, be strong
54
Hmm, I know it's hard out there
55
When it's on it's on but
56
Welfare
57
Hold on, be strong
58
Aids, earthquakes
59
Cause when it's on it's on but
60
Muggings, carjackings
61
Hold on, and be strong
62
Yeah we got problems
63
Cause when it's on it's on but
64
But believe me when I tell you
65
Hold on, and be strong
66
Things always get better
67
Cause when it's on it's on but
68
God don't like ugly
69
Hold on, and be strong
70
And God don't like no quitters
71
Cause when it's on it's on but
72
You know what Billie Holiday said bay-bee
73
Hold on, and be strong
74
God bless the child that can hold his own
75
Cause when it's on it's on but
76
Y'know?
77
Hold on, and be strong
78
You got to stand strong
79
Cause when it's on it's on but
80
And when these bustas try to knock you out your place
81
Hold on, and be strong
82
You stand there to they face
83
Cause when it's on it's on but
84
Tell em hold on, and be strong
85
Hold on, and be strong
86
The game don't stop
87
Cause when it's on it's on but
88
Hmmm
89
Hold on, and be strong
90
This here is black main
91
Cause when it's on it's on but
92
If you don't never leave nothin, learn one thing
93
Hold on, and be strong
94
It don't stop, til the casket drop
95
Hold on
96
Thug, for Life... Feel me?
97
All my homeboys and my homegirls, stay strong
98
When things get bad, especially come the first and the fifteenth
99
Stay strong, and stay ballin, hold on
100
I'll catch y'all at the next life, we in traffic
