Intro:
Yeah yeah yeah, right
Verse:1
I love my life in every single way
Its like riding the high of summer days
Its like capturing vibes thats tucked away
My deepest gratitude, even for mistakes
But there’s, some alternatives
Most of them be hurting in
Contrary to this joy that we submerging in
I wanna hold it in but my spirit its burgeoning
Earning it, systematic plagues got me surfacing
I,I, damn his has been my life, navigating spaces where
My body gets denied, moving through this matrix
Where they cut up and divide, its the ultra mind fuck
Do I escape or do I ride, but I,I,I
Lets these feelings subside huh, recalibrate my faith
Then I decide huh, don’t worry bout me, got my peace of mind
Imma get it in soon, let the fruits ripe
Chorus:
See Ive been holding back for long
Holding back for so long
I’ve got this fight I can’t contain no more
See Ive been holding back for long
Holding back for so long
I’ve got this fight I can’t restrain no more
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Verse 2:
I use to feel nothin, never want nothing
Walking round frontin, steady mean muggin
Black man troubles kept me occupied
Obsessing over ways I could rectify
Deflecting from my feelings never
Testified, judgment from these women
That would always catch me in my lies
Damn, love was I game I never played
Manufactured emotions to keep face
In depth feelings was something to be ignored
I never really explored, my mind wasn’t secure
But I, that was my progression, kinda learned a lesson
Still work in progress, thats my definition
This open soul headed for the road
With a light heart leaking of fear
I gotta to let go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Chorus:
See Ive been holding back for long
Holding back for so long
I’ve got this fight I can’t contain no more
See Ive been holding back for long
Holding back for so long
I’ve got this fight I can’t restrain no more
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Whoa nuh nuh no no no
Outro
Lets these feelings subside huh, recalibrate my faith
Then I decide huh, don’t worry bout me, got my peace of mind
Imma get it in soon, let the fruits ripe
