"God bless the child like a holy zone" or "...that can hold his own"

[tupac1403]

I wanted to know if in Hold ya head Tupac says god bless the child like a holy zone or god bless the child that can hold his own.
I always thought it's the first one until I read the text from the papersleeve edition where it says it's ...that can hold his own.

its god bless the child that can hold his own

 

[tupac1403]

Aight. The other one would be nice too. thanx

 

[alleyezonme12]

also just to add, in 'hold on be strong' hes says 'u know what billie holiday said baby, god bless the child who can hold his own'

 

[Dante]

what the hell would "like a holy zone" mean? not to be a dick, i just dont understand how you thought that was what he said.

my thoughts exactly. pac didn't just use random words. holy zone makes no sense in reference to a human being's qualities.

 

[fannr1]

god bless me like a holy zone!!!

 

[tupac1403]

I'm always learnin...
protect would be logical right?

 

[T.M.O.S]

LMAO.Dats sum funny shit. Why didnt u just look up the lyrics instead of asking such an embarresing question in here??!!!

 

[tupac1403]

Where is the problem? This way it helped me more - now I won't forget

pac is actually misquoting (but it's the same message) a billie holliday song in this phrase. the holliday lyrics are:

Them that’s got shall get
Them that’s not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that’s got his own
That’s got his own

^ maybe he was quoting Big Daddy Kane

In "Raw," he says "God bless the child that can hold his own."

But maybe he was just misquoting Billie himself.

he quotes billie holliday in hold on be strong, so that's why i assume he's using that quote.

A retarded question to say the least. I think even OHHLA got that one right

Anyways, it does seem that Hip Hop fans are oblivious to other forms of music. If they weren't so they would get much more of the references, subliminals & jewels that are been dropped by their favourite artist - be it Tupac or whoever.

I'm sure you don't speak any foreign language. So who the fuck is retarded

he quotes billie holliday in hold on be strong, so that's why i assume he's using that quote.

But he did a song with Big Daddy Kane, so obviously he's familiar with his stuff as well.

Trading ideas with the expert...I feel Tupac-intelligent

Next time, try visiting www.google.com and search up the lyrics. Don't need to make a post about something you can easily find out yourself silly rabbit.

hahaha i was thinkin the exact same thing when i saw this topic i was like "holy zone" wtf is a holy zone lol

 

[Preach]

while "god bless the child like a holy zone" might not be 100% correct when talking about human qualities, like dante said, it's not completely off. i can see the way of thinking - god bless the child like a holy zone, meaning, god bless the child as if it was a holy zone (ie. a church). it's wrong, however, so yeah. it's okay to voice your opinion but it's no reason to put the dude down, like he said, how many of you speak foreign languages? he asked because he doesn't know better, and that's not a crime.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

I'm sure you don't speak any foreign language. So who the fuck is retarded

I don't know "who the fuck is retarded", I never once called anybody retarded here. And just so this doesn't get drawn out, I'll get to the point, I called the question retarded, not you. Don't be sensitive.

Btw, I'm tri-lingual.
