| I’m asked to speak but not to tell the truth
|
| Anonymously, in the credits you can check the proof
|
| In the camera, innovators and creators real
|
| In the mirror, imitators and the takers steal
|
| That’s a practice put in action that could win awards
|
| Yeah, we love the frauds
|
| But hate the ones that really come with cause
|
| Moment of silence for me, I don’t really need applause
|
| Think I’m loud enough when I’m alone with all my inner thoughts
|
| May I never meet the people I’m inspired by
|
| And find out that they’re really, really fake or they just kind of lied
|
| Kind of surprised I was able to keep my mouth shut
|
| This long, but
|
| On this song, I’ma tell ya how I feel, being quiet is a crime
|
| Not enough fake Gs doing time
|
| I’m not the only one to notice that
|
| I’m cutting all my ties
|
| I think it’s time I stopped holding back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back (no I can’t)
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back (no I can’t)
|
| Hold it back
|
| I make more than my sister
|
| 'Cause I was born as a mister
|
| And I ain’t never been to college, and she graduated honors
|
| Yet the bosses think that I’m a better fit, uh
|
| Well, that annoy me more than cargo shorts
|
| And yoga pants that’s worn at anything that’s not a sport
|
| Dinner plans at eight
|
| And if show you up in some sneakers better call me in advance to say you
|
| running late
|
| I’m a contemporary man
|
| I mean take it back to what, so y’all could screw it up again
|
| While you’re running for an office, I’ma run away from coffins
|
| Pray the policies show progress 'fore they boot it up again
|
| 'Cause every time we restart it
|
| We gon' push the demons deeper in the closet
|
| It ain’t no secret, they just seeping out regardless
|
| We’re keeping logic hostage
|
| We need to stop
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back (no I can’t)
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back (no I can’t)
|
| Hold it back
|
| Tell them how you really feel, they label you a hater
|
| That’s the greatest trick impostors ever played on the creator
|
| You around here acting like we’re equal but we greater
|
| Bring up talent all you want but you can keep your résumé though
|
| Talk is cheaper now and it is just dropping by the day though
|
| Take precaution putting stock in anything somebody say though
|
| We gon' tell you anything we want to get a payload
|
| Don’t be shocked if we come talking to you like it was a day old
|
| Clock restarted
|
| We gon' push the demons deeper in the closet
|
| It ain’t no secret, they just seeping out regardless
|
| We’re keeping logic hostage
|
| We need to stop
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back (no I can’t)
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back (no I can’t)
|
| Hold it back
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it
|
| Hold it back, hold it back, hold it back, hold it |
