Or was I adopted, mama I know it's difficult for you, mama
But your tears will turn to laughter
Over the years I asked myself many questions is he my real dad
You were a laughing stock in the community
I saw you struggling for our education
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Now is the time to show them
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is
That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is
Hold on just a little bit longer now
But hold on I am a little grown up now
Now is the time to show them
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
The press didn't rest makin' news out of you, mama
I know it's not easy for you mama
This man you got married to is dead alive?
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Now that I'm a grown up mama
Hold on just a little bit longer now
I saw you struggling to get us clothes to wear, mama
Hold on just a little bit longer now
Hold on just a little bit longer now
