Lyrics:

of the world been holding me back
Loose me out of your mind
I'll live alone and I'll know
That you've been holding me back
Everytime I watch you walk away
I
Tracing back the lines
I reflect on the days gone by
Cracks on my face growing deeper
Friendships change and i fear
Ten years gone
Taken for granted
Years gone by, biting my lip
All the while, all this time I knew

Now you're on your own, one for the pages
Over the hill and through the ages
Does
used to new social norms
Four quick years gone in a flash
Now I wish I could go back
So I'ma make this last
Give it all I got
Cause eight months time
Yeah
Put it on my life, that I came and I conquered
Put it on my life, I ain’t holding out no longer
Put it on my life, what doesn’t kill me makes me
All of those years that you let go by
Could've had a couple dudes back in your prime
Probably had a couple niggas waiting in line
I know it's been
years I’ll never get back
Holding solace in the fact that they’ll never corrupt this mind of mine
With my conscience held intact, it’s redesigned and so
the Browns, the Miller, the Shepherds
Only time I am a stepper
Cause back then y'all wouldn't holding up
More like drown y'all was holding me down
Had to be my
rocking the latest gear
New Year's after the ball, twenty one song in they ear
Watch this strip, make me back it up, D'Angelo knows the feeling
Off that
If you can't hold me down
Then you holding  me up
You
Holding me back
You slowing me down
Look at me now
Time to shed a few pounds

Thug tears
Ain't no breaking me down, bitch I'm breaking the banks
And ain't no holding me down, even if you holding the shanks
I'm controlling the time, nigga
of the flexing there's a story I ain't told
Of the glory and the strife started back at 5 years old
It's a story of my life, it's a story of my goals
It's a story
overcome, what has been holding us back
Keeping us trapped, and thinking we don't have it intact
We see that we are all one and complete
Just stars, just
you down
You was holding me back (holding me back)
But I still ain't the same
And you know that's a fact (know that's a fact)
(Hunt) I been trying
Once in a year I'm looking back counting my rounds
Time after time it's been so hard holding my ground
And I miss you
For seven years,
An' need you
went by
I got to know your other side
And never thought that I'd regret
All the times I had your back
The first impression that I had
Proved to be right
that
But I don't even care
A couple years later, we been through a lot
Things haven't always been the easiest, we fought
Looking back it's worth
goes, Billy walking his dog
He figured he should go back inside, there's a lot of fog
But a car drove by, he wasn't holding tight
And then Billy's dog
Bit By Bit

Hands up you don't speak 
The phone rings and it's not for me
We're in bed you're holding back
It's so cold, so cold
Shockwaves for miles
to stand
To make a better way for a young black man
In a land (a land) where the people smile
Been holding me back for such a long while (while, while,
never cooks
no time write my book
and in the end I ain’t got nothin’ at all

Time Waits For No One
a year goes by in the wink of an eye
Time Waits For No
and exposed forced to put on a show
Stripped, surround by blue they alone
Mentally to be scarred for the foreseen
Powers abused cause egos grow
She fifteen year
that are gritty
Fat Joe told you that the jealous ones envy
And the hungry ones be plottin in the cut by the plenty
In my close the thirty years, I have
My soul has been lost for so many years
Sitting here alone with nowhere to go
Flashbacks of memories of guilt and regret
Wishing I can go back, but
