Hold On Lyrics

There's blacks with knives and whites with guns

fighting in Howard Beach

There's no such thing as human rights

when you walk the N.Y. streets

A cop was shot in the head by a 10 year old kid named Buddah in

Central Park last week

The fathers are lined up by

the coffins by the Statue of Bigotry

You better hold on something's happening here

You better hold on---meet you in Tompkins Square

The dopers sent a message to the cops last weekend

They shot him in the car where he sat

And Eleanor Bumpres and Michael Stewart must have appreciated that

There's a rampaging rage rising up like a plague of bloody vials

washing up on the beach

It'll take more than the Angels or Iron Mike Tyson

to heal this bloody breach

A junkie ran down a lady a pregnant dancerReed Lou - Hold On - http://motolyrics.com/reed-lou/hold-on-lyrics.html

she'll never dance but the baby was saved

He shot up some China White and noddet out at the wheel

and he doesn't even remember a thing

They shot that old lady

'cause they thought she was a witness

to a crime she didn't even see

Whose home is the home of the brave by the Statue of Bigotry

You got a black .38 and a gravity knife

You still have to ride the train

There's the smelly essence of N.Y. down there

but you ain't no Bernard Goetz

There's no Mafia lawyer

to fight in your corner

for that 15 minutes of fame

The have and the have nots are bleeding in the tub

That's New York's future not mine

Oh you better hold on---something's happening here
