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 |
