[00:00.25]Lyrics by：I. Hunter/M. Young/T. Castillo/V. Bullock
[00:00.5]Children hold on to your dreams
[00:06.58]Believe in love let love be the light
[00:11.98]To show the way
[00:17.23]And love will shine on you one day
[00:21.86]Children hold on
[00:23.27]God bless the souls of those that impose a threat
[00:26.41]Better yet let's forget 'bout this foolishness
[00:28.52]And though I never asked for forgiveness
[00:30.47]If you wanna pray to him here's some things
[00:32.59]I might say to him
[00:33.82]Lord thank you for my wife my father and mom
[00:36.66]And God thank you for my daughter and son
[00:39.09]You know the devil he's been doin' us wrong
[00:41.0]And I love both of my kids but
[00:42.66]They momma can't raise 'em alone
[00:44.41]And yo I just want a better understandin'
[00:47.39]There's gotta be another way to handle it
[00:49.78]And well we got to be mature about it
[00:51.8]We both made our mistakes and
[00:53.48]Can't no one get us out it
[00:55.2]My little girl's a little lady
[00:57.02]And though she often act crazy she's still my baby
[01:00.36]And I anticipate the day that I can see
[01:02.69]The smile on her face when she speak to little j
[01:04.95]Children hold on to your dreams
[01:10.28]Believe in love let love be the light
[01:15.58]To show the way
[01:20.92]And love will shine on you one day
[01:25.46]Children hold on
[01:26.35]You see the problem with the world is
[01:28.75]That there's way too many faces and way too many races
[01:32.259995]They done even managed to modernize slavery
[01:34.33]They clonin' little babies these people goin' crazy
[01:37.479996]And white America's on high alert
[01:39.58]Black America's still starvin' and livin' in public housin'
[01:42.869995]Still eatin' off your food stamps
[01:44.630005]That's why one out of every three
[01:45.96]Black boys end up in boot camp
[01:48.21]And not to mention the ones we'll be missin'
[01:50.67]Let's face it e'rybody can't make it
[01:53.630005]And e'rybody wanna escape it
[01:54.990005]But if it's thug life we live then thug life it is
[01:58.759995]But just remember somethin' gotta give
[02:00.87]That's why so many die and so little live
[02:03.92]I can't explain it but that's how it is
[02:06.52]And God forbid but it is what it is
[02:08.58]Children hold on to your dreams
[02:13.83]Believe in love let love be the light
[02:19.25]To show the way
[02:24.4]And love will shine on you one day
[02:29.08]Children hold on
[02:30.88]The Lord have mercy on 'em
[02:32.63]For they young and dumb and that's
[02:34.31]Why I come to pray for 'em
[02:35.93]Though some of us are better than most of us
[02:38.41]You can't involve the kids with our differences
[02:41.07]And since memories are all we have
[02:43.14]Don't you agree that all little kids deserve to laugh
[02:46.35]I'm teachin' the facts about our black leaders
[02:48.57]'Cause they be strong people just keep readin' it gets deeper
[02:51.99]We're all God's people
[02:53.29001]So regardless of color and race we all is covered in grace
[02:57.35]And you gotta be stronger than most
[02:59.08]Therefore we only supposed to go when we chosen
[03:02.58]'Cause God for the thugs too
[03:04.29]Just be sincere at heart and dawg God'll still love you
[03:07.63]So to all my fallen soldiers the struggle's over
[03:10.91]All in the name of jehovah
[03:12.6]Children hold on to your dreams
[03:17.5]Believe in love let love be the light
[03:22.77]To show the way
[03:27.74]And love will shine on you one day
[03:32.79001]Children hold on
[03:38.82]Believe in love let love be the light
[03:44.15]To show the way
[03:49.31]And love will shine on you one day
[03:54.07]Children hold on
