From the ashes we shall rise Young clef To my country of Haiti Hold on be strong No matter what you're goin' through You know it's gonna be okay okay today Even when the earth quakes Like I said on BET from the hood to the projects to the mansion So you got no excuse Stop blaming the recession Go harder for Haiti Send a text on your phone Y E L E 5 0 1 5 0 1 Every block every school dream initiation Say we wanna make it a better place like Michael Jackson we don't wanna see another life lost out there Wish I had talked to them teenagers with the rpg's Goin' on ahead with the navy seals I would've told them listen better Hold on (there's gotta be a better way) be strong No matter what you're goin through You know it's gonna be okay okay today today Even when the earth quakes We gotta hold on hold on be strong be strong I know that you don't think that I can read your palms But I see the dawn the dawn beyond You know I can see the sunlight And if the rain falls down It ain't nothing but a blessing today The sun will shine after the rain dries Whoever tells that gone memories live on I guess see you at the crossroad So many cry when we die and they wonder if we're in the sky see you at the crossroad I see you in my dream that man that can't see but don't worry see you at the crossroad Remember we still a team and I know you can hear me now see you at the crossroad Hold on (there's gotta be a better way) be strong No matter what you're goin through You know it's gonna be okay okay today today Even when the earth quakes We gotta hold on hold on be strong be strong I know that you don't think that I can read your palms But I see the dawn the dawn beyond You know I can see the sunlight And if the rain falls down It ain't nothing but a blessing today The sun will shine after the rain dries She wants to know she wanna know how long I been playin' As long as my mother as long as my momma she been prayin' She bought me a guitar she bought me a guitar at eleven She ain't want me be usin mac 11's When I sing so when I said daddy was gone 'til November I knew I knew that he wouldn't be back in November Cause I could've been the one in the bank with the shank with park with the ski mask But my bank is the stage with my 12 gauge Hold on (there's gotta be a better way) be strong No matter what you're goin through You know it's gonna be okay okay today today Even when the earth quakes We gotta hold on hold on be strong be strong I know that you don't think that I can read your palms But I see the dawn the dawb beyond You know that I can see the sunlight And if the rain falls down It ain't nothin' but a blessin' today The sun will shine after the rain dries If the rain falls down It ain't nothin' but a blessin' today The sun will shine after the rain dries rain dries rain dries
