| Look, was never lyrical but read a couple books
|
| Was more than criminal, I empathized with crooks
|
| Life give the minimal, so scraps is what we took
|
| So, when it’s critical no time to be shook
|
| Ain’t say I’m hood, but my neighbors ain’t invite me in
|
| Made them uncomfortable, I used to wish for lighter skin
|
| I used to hate myself, my mind is sick is my defense
|
| Low self-esteem, not aligning more with righteous men
|
| Since Tiwanne died my mind kind of switched
|
| Another homicide lied on the dry cement
|
| I couldn’t even cry, all I wanted was revenge
|
| Some wounds never heal, even time couldn’t fix
|
| The tide I’m against
|
| In a ship ready to capsize
|
| In troubled waters, I guess I’m getting baptized
|
| Ask for forgiveness for every time that I backslide
|
| Would be a miracle, drown in hate for the last time
|
| Holding back tears, going back years
|
| Ain’t want to feel pain, I let go of that fear
|
| I been holding back tears (tears)
|
| I been holding back tears (tears)
|
| I been holding back tears, going back years
|
| Ain’t want to feel pain, I let go of that fear
|
| I been holding back tears (holding back tears)
|
| Look, was never any good with matters of the heart
|
| Don’t hand me yours if you been fragile from the start
|
| Not skilled in discipline or mastering the art
|
| Designer fabrics are more flattering with scars
|
| I’m a flawed man, ah man
|
| Look, glad my salvation wasn’t left into y’all hands
|
| If you ain’t never had to scrape, scratch or crawl man
|
| I don’t need your opinion cause you an off brand
|
| Now try and picture my frame of mind
|
| Portraits developed in dark rooms, it’s taking time
|
| A fine craft on display with a great design
|
| Often at a loss for words, but I can make it rhyme
|
| I guess I’m saying that I’m on a soul search
|
| And when all that glitters ain’t gold barely denotes worth
|
| Numb the pain, the liquor says that it don’t hurt
|
| Holding back tears, I’m praying to God I don’t burst
|
| I’m holding back tears, going back years
|
| Ain’t want to feel pain, I let go of that fear
|
| I been holding back tears (tears)
|
| Holding back tears (tears)
|
| I been holding back tears, going back years
|
| Ain’t want to feel pain, I let go of that fear
|
| I been holding back tears (holding back tears)
|
| I been holding back tears (holding back tears)
|
| But I, bear the burden, share the sermon
|
| Tell the truth then, share my purpose
|
| The time’s now it’s never been more urgent
|
| The time’s now it’s never been more urgent
|
| I bear the burden, share the sermon
|
| Tell the truth then, share my purpose
|
| The time’s now it’s never been more urgent
|
| The time’s now it’s never been more urgent
|
| I been holding back tears |
