Song Description

"Hold You" unpacked the stereotype of African American men and their role in their families. This change of pace keeps listeners interested as Goldenchild sung frank lyrics that summarize the plight young men of color face when socioeconomic instabilities threaten the wellbeing of their children. The song beautifully depicted the struggle a young father experiences: his responsibility to his child, and his obligation to support that child financially. It was a case of give and take, work the 9-5 and overtime hours to make ends meet, or spent the time and neglect the financial needs

Lyrics

HOLD U

Written by: D.Richardson

Verse 1:
Life is so hard when you're on the go/Caught up in a rat race chasing the flow/Every other day when I'm on the road/I wish I was there just to hold you close/But in pursuit of my dreams, I know/I gotta keep 'em rocking just to buy you clothes/Show after show as the curtains close/You can see me jumping on the phone/Dialing those digits just to let you know/That I love you, I miss you/I wish I was there just to kiss you/But in the meantime I've gotta go from studio and then the show/From show to radio in order to get my sound exposed/

CHORUS 2X
Who said I cant wait to hold you now/I just aint got the papes to hold u down/If you could just wait a little while/I promise I'll be beside you/

Verse2:
To those who appreciate how I glow/I do what I do so the world now/Your dad's not as bad as your mommy said/Its just that she never believed in me/So I had to go just to prove to me/That I'm everything I was born to be/The talents bestowed by the GOD/and the music I made for the unity/Of my colored peoples in the place to be/We gotta rise up against the poverty/Stop all the war killing of babies/Shutdown the government and flood the streets/With nothing but love energy and peace/Cuz it could truly conquer everything/See baby my lady the world in which we live in so shady/

CHORUS 2X
