Lucky Dube
Recorded and mixed at Powerhouse Studios by DAVE SEGAL.
Produced by RICHARD SILUMA.
Arranged by LUCKY DUBE and RICHARD SILUMA.
HOLD ON (Composed by Lucky Dube)
Lyrics:
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 mama
This 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 now
Oh Ho
Chorus:
Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)
You were a laughing stock
in the community
The press didn't rest
Makin' news out of you mama
Now is the time to show them
that he who laughs last laughs
the best, that's the way it is (x2)
Chorus:
Hold on just a little bit longer now
I know it's not easy for you mama
but your tears will turn to laughter
now that I'm a grown up mama
Chorus till fade

This is one of my best lucky dube songs. I grew up in the Caribbean listening to lucky dube songs as a little girl. It broke my heart the day I heard he was murdered. Sad that his life was taken away so tragically when all he sang about was peace and love.

Your songs helped me get through some very tough times alone.I was only only a young teenager when I attended your first concert in Fiji,.. A memory I will never forget. Apart from teaching them, I play some of your songs for my kids as a reminder to them. R.I.P Lucky.
