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, mamaThis 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 nowHold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer nowYou were a laughing stock in the community
The press didn't rest makin' news out of you, mamaNow is the time to show them
That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is
Now is the time to show them
That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it isHold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer nowI know it's not easy for you mama
But your tears will turn to laughter
Now that I'm a grown up mamaHold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
