Held Captive - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Have you ever woken up with your mind held captive?

Have you ever woken up with your brain doin' backflips?

And you don't know where the problem lies

So, you just feel you're dyin' inside

And-and they know where to be found

So your head spins round, round, round

I don't wanna drown, drown, drown

Could you come around, 'round, 'round?

Ooh I need you-

I need you now!

More than ever

[Verse 1]

From where I sit y'all ain't moved yet

That's the mindset that I ain't cool with

Eyes on me

Cut the music

See that when I learn there ain't no use in losin'

I see your scars, see your bruises

If anything, use them they don't make you useless

Only breathe love, speak the movement

It's beautiful how it blooms right off your two lips

Thought we was fresh outta beautiful humans

Check the product that love produces

The moment you realize that you ain't a nuisance

In a blink of an eye, boy, that noose just loosens

Like-

[Bridge]

He said, "She said 'I want this'"

He said, "She said 'Well, I want that'"

He said, "She said 'This ain't a compromise. I dare you, boy, to keep your heart alive' "

[Chorus]

Have you ever woken up with your mind held captive?

Have you ever woken up with your brain doin' backflips?

And you don't know where the problem lies

So, you just feel you're dyin' inside

And-and they know where to be found

So your head spins round, round, round

I don't wanna drown, drown, drown

Could you come around, 'round, 'round?

Ooh I need you, now

[Verse 2]

Big fish, little fish I ain't see it

Most of y'all probably only here for a minute 'for you dip

If you are remember this

Hard to find a ruin in the mix (Yeah)

Easier to be one to find one

Always leave it better than you found it

My grandpa really told me that when I was young

I never spent a minute trynna doubt it

Look, let me bring it to you now

You're never gonna be perfect

Everybody is hurtin'

Everybody is searchin'

Everybody is worth it

Everybody a human

Go and take 'em to church

Then, let me get through the verses

I tried to look panic in the face

He always lookin' at me with a gaze

I just gotta hold onto my faith, yeah

[Outro]

For heaven's sake, how long do I gott apretend that I'm okay

For heaven's sake, how long do I gotta pretend thatt I'm okay
