[Verse 1]
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
And hate that 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 you never meet the people
I'm inspired by
And find out that they really really fake
Or they just kinda lied
Kind of surprised
I was able to keep my mouth shut
This long, but
On this song
I'ma tell you how I feel
Bein' quiet is a crime
Not enough fake G's doin time
I'm not the only one to notice that
I'm cuttin' all my ties
I think it's time we stopped holdin' back
[Verse 2]
Hold it back (no I can't)
Hold it back (no I can't)
Hold it back
[Verse 3]
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 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 you show up in some sneakers
Better call me in advance
And say you runnin' late
I'm a contemporary man
I mean, take it back to what
So ya'll can screw it up again
While you're runnin' for 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 a secret
They just seepin' out regardless
We're keepin' logic hostage
We need to stop
[Verse 4]
Hold it back (no I can't)
Hold it back (no I can't)
Hold it back
[Verse 5]
Tell 'em how you really feel
They label you a hater
That's the greatest trick
Imposters ever played on the creator
You around here actin' like
We equal but we greater
Bring up talent all you want
But you can keep your resumé though
Talk is cheaper now
And it just droppin' by the day though
Take precaution puttin' stock in
Anything somebody say though
We gon' tell you anything we want
To get a payload
Don't be shocked if we come talkin'
To you like it was a day old
Clock restarted
We gon' push the demons
Deeper in the closet
It ain't a secret
They just seepin' out regardless
We're keepin' logic hostage
We need to stop
[Verse 6]
Hold it back (no I can't)
Hold it back (no I can't)
Hold it back
