Hang On In There |
| You see, I left home at the age of 12 |
| Mama couldn’t understand, but she wished me well |
| I remember her saying, she said |
| Son, there’s gonna be a rough road ahead |
| I’ll never forget the words my mama said |
| She, said |
| Oooh, baby, hang on in there |
| It might cost you your heart sometimes |
| Oooh, I think I’ll hang on there |
| Listen to me, now |
| Even though yo' mama gonna follow your desire |
| Things she told me, boy she sure said it right |
| She said,"I thought I’d let you know what you’re up against" |
| «They're gonna try to keep your back up agaist the fence» |
| «They've got a way of breakin' your systems down |
| But make them proud -- Whenever there’s a will, you’ll find another way around» |
| Heyyy! Ooooh oooh, hang on in there |
| (talking) She kept talkin' to me lord, She said-- |
| Ooooh, I think I’ll hang on in there -- Heh |
| You, Know I’m getting older now, long |
| But I’m still hanging on |
| When I’m gone I got a little something |
| I hope I can carry on |
| Ya know, this is a new day |
| And this is a new generation |
| Doin things the only way |
| Oooh, that’s why I gotta |
| Oooh, I gotta hang on in there |
| Sometimes I wanna cry sometimes |
| But Oooh, hang on in there |
| (Bobby talking, with background singing «Oooh, hang on in there) |
| Heh heh heh heh heh, Well, Mama |
| I never forgot what you said |
| I sing that song to my little boy |
| Ev’ry night before he go to bed |
