Hold on just a little while longer Hardship will only make you stronger Chase that dream and let your light shine One day at a time and never apologize Cause the truth of the matter at hand Is life's to short for a contingency plan So do what you love and what you hold dear And together we can build us a world without fear And just know you got nothing to lose if you Keep your head and your heart in the truth If you Serve yourself and know your own wealth Then you won't have to worry about nobody else It feels like the whole worlds about to change. I've been working for so long for this Moment that I'm in I take back every word I ever said Cause I know the ones that mean the most I'm gonna say again I'm getting closer, closer to the end Of the bad old days now the good ones can begin. I go to work every god damn day When you're self employed it ain't about the wage Ain't no greater joy than being on a stage So i can show my boy that he don't need to slave At no 9-5, he can dare to dream Don't gotta be a cog in no man's machine A job well done is it's own reward When you ain't punching the clock for an overlord I hope he loves himself and knows he's worthy of love I hope self confidence fits the boy like a glove I hope he hits hard and he always hits first I hope he never understands his fathers thirst And when he knows pain I hope it's always brief And that it's late in life he's introduced to grief There ain't nothing more important than family And I know he's gonna make a better man then me It feels like the whole worlds about to change. I've been working for so long for this Moment that I'm in I take back every word I ever said Cause I know the ones that mean the most I'm gonna say again I'm getting closer, closer to the end Of the bad old days now the good ones can begin Hold on just a little while longer Hardship will only make you stronger Chase that dream and let your light shine One day at a time and never apologize (No)
