[Verse 3: Cassidy]
Hang on lil' girl
Soon all your troubles will be gone lil' girl
Sometimes✦ you probably✦ wish you wasn't born lil' girl
But God know what he doin', lil' girl, so keep fighting✦
And hang on lil' man
You can't quit now, keep goin' lil' man
Sometimes✦ you probably✦ wish you wasn't born lil' man
But God know what he doin' lil' man, so keep fighting✦

Dance little brother,✦ don't give up the fight
Hang on 'till tomorrow,✦ the truth will come to light
Dance little sister,✦ don't give up the day
Hang on 'till tomorrow,✦ tonight✦ we celebrate,✦ celebrate✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse prioritizes a repetitive, gospel-inspired cadence over lyrical density, functioning more as a moral pep-talk than a showcase of technical wordplay or complex entendre.

Rhyme Architecture: The scheme relies on heavy end-rhyme repetition ('girl'/'man'/'fighting') used to anchor consistent, rhythmic mantras across 16 lines.

Consistent emotional tone matching the song's uplifting theme

Strong structural cohesion through repetitive address

Effective use of rhythm to maintain flow

Lack of complex metaphors or figurative language

Repetition risks monotony without variation in internal rhyme schemes

Absence of punchlines or layer-based entendres
