I’ve Been Too Strong

[Chorus]
I’ve been too strong
You’re holding me back
You’re holding me back
I’ve been too strong
You’re holding me back
You’re holding me back

[Verse 1]
You write on paper, I spend it
You use periods, I use zeros to end it
Man I’m so gangster, I don’t know how to defend myself
Pretending with guns and jewelry, so people drool at my wealth
Trill with the illest bars on the block
Waste my life, seconds go by, TikTok
Get a tan on my feet for the gram, flip flop
Go against what exists, so hip hop
Support music promoting violence and sex unwitting
Y’all too caught by the firе but I’m just spitting
Not for the taste man you just a big gulper
No purposе in pushing forth for the culture
Purple in the eye, but I still see well
Waving goodbye, don’t consider what she felt
My goodness my mind numb from what I tell
Strapping down trash that’s an Off White belt
We pass by my gaze just grazed her
Thin and sweet and pressed, a dutch wafer
Shoot sharp videos (pew) I’m a laser
Aim so straight, get the number later
Just so many times I messed up not on beat
Stick my landing just kidding teeth chipping concrete
Thought I died just to live what I wanted to do
Like a living zombie not paying for food

[Chorus]
I’ve been too strong
You’re holding me back
You’re holding me back
I’ve been too strong
You’re holding me back
You’re holding me back

[Verse 2]
Who can afford
These buildings? Enormous
These topics? Boring
These people? Annoying
Pouring porridge out for the poor
Ignore unemployment, soaring
Sky turning orange
Green meaning fortune
Men turning pigs
Pigs more absorption
I don’t know what the future is
But I can bet in the future
Adults turn to kids
And kids turn to losers
And other kids forced to grow up
Learn what’s important, hopefully more clean cut
Lead and build our system, more robust
Leaders not for themselves, but for us
Really being Asian doesn’t help or hurt?
Don’t like it when that’s how they count my worth
Do it just because, not part of some signing biz
People look and ask if i know what 88Rising is
Of course I do
When I was 10 I thought movies should find Asians too
Naïve to think I was blind to taboo
People forget history is the worst tattoo
Double whammy hittem hacky sack to the wall
Man kick so fat left a sag on my gall
Sacks of cash doesn’t cut it, what I’m looking for
Is another way to say I have truth to record

[Chorus]
I’ve been too strong
You’re holding me back
You’re holding me back
I’ve been too strong
You’re holding me back
You’re holding me back
