Hold It Back (阻止) - Oddisee[00:00:00]
I'm asked to speak but not to tell the truth[00:00:30]
Anonymously in the credits you can check the proof[00:00:32]
In the camera innovators and creators real[00:00:34]
In the mirror imitators and the takers steal[00:00:37]
That's a practice put in action that could win awards[00:00:39]
Yeah we love the frauds[00:00:41]
But hate the ones that really come with cause[00:00:42]
Moment of silence for me I don't really need applause[00:00:44]
Think I'm loud enough when I'm alone with all my inner thoughts[00:00:46]
May I never meet the people I'm inspired by[00:00:49]
And find out that they're really really fake or they just kind of lied[00:00:50]
Kind of surprised I was able to keep my mouth shut[00:00:54]
This long but[00:00:56]
On this song I'ma tell how I feel being quite is a crime[00:00:57]
Not enough fake g's doing time[00:01:00]
I m not the only one to notice that[00:01:03]
I m cutting all my ties[00:01:04]
I think it's time I stopped holding back[00:01:06]
Hold it back [00:01:08]
I make more than my sister[00:01:38]
'Cause I was born as a mister[00:01:40]
And I ain't never been to college and she graduated honors[00:01:42]
Yet the bosses think that I'm a better fit huh[00:01:44]
Well that annoy me more than cargo shorts[00:01:47]
And yoga pants that's worn at anything that's not a sport[00:01:50]
Dinner plans at eight[00:01:53]
And if show you up in some sneakers better call me[00:01:54]
In advance to say you running late[00:01:56]
I m a contemporary man[00:01:57]
I mean take it back to what so y'all could screw it up again[00:01:59]
While you re running for an office I'ma run away from coffins[00:02:01]
Pray the policies show progress before they boot it up again[00:02:03]
'Cause every time we restart it[00:02:06]
We gon' push the demons deeper in the closet[00:02:09]
It ain't no secret they just seeping out regardless[00:02:11]
We're keeping logic hostage[00:02:13]
We need to stop[00:02:15]
Hold it back[00:02:16]
Tell them how you really feel they label you a hater[00:02:56]
That's the greatest trick impostors ever played on the creator[00:02:59]
You around here acting like we re equal but we greater[00:03:01]
Bring up talent all you want but you can keep your resume though[00:03:03]
Talk is cheaper now and it is just dropping by the day though[00:03:05]
Take precaution putting stock in anything somebody say though[00:03:08]
We gon' tell you anything we want to get a payload[00:03:11]
Don't be shocked if we come talking to you like it was a day old[00:03:13]
Clock restarted[00:03:16]
We gon' push the demons deeper in the closet[00:03:17]
It ain't no secret they just seeping out regardless[00:03:20]
Keeping logic hostage[00:03:22]
We need to stop[00:03:24]
Hold it back[00:03:25]
Hold it back[00:03:27]
Hold it back[00:03:29]
