Holding Back

[Verse 1]

1, 2 and just holding back when I really gotta let it go
Saw a chance to blow but she ain't never know
They just praying never will amount to shit
I told them once I don’t ever fucken pistol whip
Cause I ain't in that kinda life
I'm white so I gotta fight for my right to fit in with this genre
And this is what I think is really fucked up meditating with no wonder, damn
Never let me grow artistically and it's all right, Deprived creativity during the night, fuck it all
It's monkey see monkey do this year
Young hearts be brave never ever fear
They always say the best things in life are free
So Ima look out for a girl who's sexy and has sex easily
So I dunno how to say this Mrs Jada Fire
I just wanna fuck you before I retire

[Verse 2]

Check 1, 2 and Ima
Eat, play, work you’re too good to be true and
Look at me now but you acting real foolish
Ima beast unleashed that’s rare
A feast with peace that rips and tears every single organ that you got
Too hungry and determined to be at the top
Keep saying it's your year man and you holding it down
Haven’t seen you do any shows around town
Life giving me lemons so I just gotta sell em'
And then get em back, make something of myself really
Come back next year, smile for my haters in Philly
Damn I'm too willing, bit more then yesterday
Say hello to a bitch but it’s a different maid
Never self made, rock n roll sage
Be inspired like the man Heavy D said
So I sit back turn up this preset
By age 30 I could be dead
Gotta laugh, live, love, keep it all above
