I knew exactly

What you were going through

It's just that I didn't

have the right

To discuss your problems

I saw you struggling

For our education

I saw you struggling

to get us clothes to wear mama

This man you got married to

is dead alive

Over the years I asked myself

Many questions

Is he my real dad or

Was I adopted mama

I know it's difficult for you mama

But hold on I am a little grown up now

Oh Ho

Chorus:

Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)

You were a laughing stock

In the community

The press didn't rest

Makin' news out of you mama

Now is the time to show them

that he who laughs last laughs

the best, that's the way it is (x2)

Chorus:

Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)

I know it's not easy for you mama

but your tears will turn to laughter

now that I'm a grown up mama

Chorus:

Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)
