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
