Hold Me Back

by John Splithoff

Staring at a screen
Living caffeine dreams
Give me my two weeks
I don't meet your expectations
Marching faster feet to the city's beat
But everyone I meet is looking for some inspiration

I don't need a rhyme or reason
So lemme run this down, pain is now my motivation
Could this be the turn of season?
So let me run this down, I'd like to see them try

You hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Over losing my crown)
You hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Over losing my crown)
You hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Over losing my crown)
You hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Over losing my crown)
Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I feel them
Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I feel them
Hold me back, hold me back
You hold me back, hold me back

Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Over losing my crown)
The corner's no place for me, baby
The corner's no place for me
You hold me back (Over thinking you're right)
Don't hold me back (Over losing this fight)
The corner's no place for me, baby
The corner's no place for me

Brawling through the streets
A city symphony
Plays in font of me
Meeting my own expectations

I don't need a rhyme or reason
So lemme run this down, pain is now my motivation
Could this be the turn of season?

Hold me back
Hold me back
You hold me back
Hold me back
Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Over losing my crown)
The corner's no place for me, baby
The corner's no place for me
Don't hold me back (Over thinking you're right)
Don't hold me back (Over losing this fight)
The corner's no place for me, baby
The corner's no place for me
Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I feel them
Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I feel them
