Verse 1: Lil'V
There was this boy called Dean
He was only 13,

Got caught up in a gang
No escaping, oh damn
Just wanted to fit in

Never thought what he was getting in
Thought what he's doing is right
When he's really outta sight

Till one day he got busted
From then on he regretted
Lost all his men

People he considered friends
Thought they'd stand by him
They did nothing but leave him

Causing our boy lil' Dean to face it all alone.

Verse 2: Goviind

Yeah, I know this young girl named Rekha
Who really didn't know any better
Got with a boy she thought she'd be with forever

Screamed argued fought,
Will be okay, she thought
At 17 got knocked up

With no protection caused a screw up
Boyfriend bailed out from her life
He kicked her out

Mum and dad disowned her
Shunned by friends and family
She was left on a dark alley, broke, hurt, fearful

She walks the lonely streets
On boulevards of broken dreams


(chorus)
Ohhhh Hold on
take my hand

I'll pioneer
Don't be ashamed to cry
Hand it hand

We'll make it through

Verse 3: Emzee

Lai Waine never had a good childhood
Lacked all the basics, clothes books and food
Alcoholic father never seemed to learn

Bank robbing, car stealing his source of income
Daddy's the reason for all the problems faced by mum
Daddy's always on the run, momma's trynna raise a son

At home, screams shouts and crying
Till one day she lost it, knife at neck she slashed it
Daddy didn't shed a tear, to Lai Waine didn't come near

Lost a mother, lost a father
Had no sister had no brother
With no place to call home.

Cold, sad, he's all alone
Mum and dad were selfish, cared less if Lai Waine tarnished
Leaving Lai Waine to face his problems on his own

Life's a maze, he's all lost
Never let it go, brother
that's how Lai Waine's story goes


(chorus)


Bridge (neesha)
Just have some faith, we'll make it through
You know that we will make it through

Hand in hand, we can
I'll pioneer
Pioneer 3x

Ending hum
(Emzee)
Things don't always go the way you'd want it to

But, no matter what, you gotta keep your head up
Brave hearts, be valiant
Optimism. Essential. A must.

All is well, combatants
Now, smile
