Hold on Be Strong
Hold on... *lighter flicks up*
Yeah it's gonna be alright, don't trip baby *inhales*
It'll get better... *coughing*
Ay do this Thug style main, Thug style
When this whole beat drop we just gon' run it to em bet
It's all good, uhh
I never had much, ran with a bad bunch
Little skinny kid sneakin weed in my bag lunch
And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by
And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives
I never did cry, and even though I had
pain in my heart, I was hopeless from the start
They couldn't tell me nothin, they all tried to help to help me
The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn't healthy
I travelled places, caught cases, what a ill year
I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here
Never did like the police, let the whole world know
Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down
And facin me now, what do I do?
These thangs that a Thug goes through
And still I rise so keep ya head up, and make ya mind strong
It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on
Chorus: repeat 4X
Hold on, be strong, hold on
Be strong, hold on
When it's on it's on
There's, never a good day, cause in my hood they
let they AK's pump strays where the kids play
And every Halloween, check out the murder scene
Can't help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen
My homies dyin 'fore they get to see they birthdays
These is the worst days, sometimes it hurts to pray
And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth
I know that ain't the truth, sometimes I look for proof
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto, and if it does
Does it matter if you blood or you cuz
Remember how it was, the picnics and the parties in theprojects
Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies
Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter
I'm dealin with the madness, raised by a single mother
I'm tryin to tell you when it's on
You gotta keep your head to the sky and be strong, most of allhold on
Chorus
Interlude:
Hold on, be strong
I know them ain't tears comin down your face
When it's on it's on but
Wipe your eyes
Hold on, be strong
In this world
When it's on it's on but
Only the strong survive y'know
Hold on, be strong
Hmm, I know it's hard out there
When it's on it's on but
Welfare
Hold on, be strong
AIDS, earthquakes
Cause when it's on it's on but
Muggings, carjackings
Hold on, and be strong
Yeah we got problems
Cause when it's on it's on but
But believe me when I tell you
Hold on, and be strong
Things always get better
Cause when it's on it's on but
God don't like ugly
Hold on, and be strong
And God don't like no quitters
Cause when it's on it's on but
You know what Billie Holiday said bay-bee
Hold on, and be strong
God bless the child that can hold his own
Cause when it's on it's on but
Y'know?
Hold on, and be strong
You got to stand strong
Cause when it's on it's on but
And when these bustas try to knock you out your place
Hold on, and be strong
You stand there to they face
Cause when it's on it's on but
Tell em hold on, and be strong
Hold on, and be strong
The game don't stop
Cause when it's on it's on but
Hmmm
Hold on, and be strong
This here is black main
Cause when it's on it's on but
If you don't never leave nothin, learn one thing
Hold on, and be strong
It don't stop, til the casket drop
Hold on
Thug, for Life... feel me?
All my homeboys and my homegirls, stay strong
When things get bad, especially come the first and thefifteenth
Stay strong, and stay ballin, hold on
I'll catch y'all at the next life, we in traffic
Hold on Be Strong (Tradução)

Hold On, Be Strong - Fique Firme, Seja Forte
[2Pac]
Fique firme... "*acende o isqueiro*"
Tudo vai ficar bem, não fique com raiva baby "*tragada*"
As coisas vão melhorar... "*tossindo*"
Ae mano, vamos fazer estilo Bandido, estilo bandido
Quando você mandar a batida vamos mandar uma idéia pra todos
Tá firmeza então, uhh
[Verso 1: 2Pac]
Eu nunca tive muito, andava com um monte de caras maus
Um pequeno neguinho escondendo maconha na lancheira
E na Universidade eu só ia para passear
E os drivebys roubando a vida de meus jovens manos
Eu nunca chorei mesmo que tivesse tanta dor
no meu coração, sou um sem futuro desde o começo
Nunca me falavam nada, mas todos tentavam me ajudar
A maconha tava começando a zuar com a minha cabeça
Eu viajei pra vários lugares, fui acusado, que ano louco
Senti a dor e a tristeza mas continuo aqui
Nunca gostei da policia, sempre falei pra todo mundo
E agora não tenho paz porque eles estão me perseguindo
Me encare agora e diga, o que eu faço?
É esse tipo de coisas que os bandidos são obrigados a encarar
Mas continuo progredindo, então mantenha a cabeça erguida, e fortaleça sua mente
É uma batalha todos os dias, mas você tem que ficar firme
[Refrão 2Pac & Stretch - 4x]
Fique firme, seja forte, fique firme
Seja forte, fique firme
Quando a hora chega é tudo no seu nome
[Verso 2: 2Pac]
Nunca tinha um dia bom, porque na minha quebrada
eles ficavam dando tiros de AK onde as crianças brincavam
E cada Halloween, vai vendo os assassinatos
Não podia fazer nada a não ser aumentar a violência
Meus manos morrendo antes de verem seus aniversários chegarem
Esses eram os piores dias, algumas vezes é dificil pra rezar
E mesmo que digam que Deus tenha virado as costas pros manos do gueto
Eu sei que isso não é verdade, as vezes procuro provas
Eu me pergunto se tem um gueto no paraíso, e se tiver
Não importa se você é Blood ou Cuz (Crip)
Se lembre de como era antes, os picnics e as festas na quebrada
Os moleques bebendo, ficando loucão e fazendo palhaçada
Sou só mais um louco vindo do gueto
Lidando com a loucura, criado por uma mãe solteira
Eu só quero lhe dizer que quando a hora chegar
Levante a cabeça e seja forte, e principalmente fique firme
[Refrão: 2Pac & Stretch - 4x]
