So

Let's pick up where we left off

What's on your mind?

Oh

Something's holding me back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Maybe it's all my new friends

Maybe it's the ones that say they need me the most

Maybe it's out of my hands

And I don't stand a chance against the path that I chose

Something's holding me back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Is it the lil' brodie that asked for a loan?

He been worried 'bout making it out on his own

Or is it the cousin that ain't taking care?

I learned helping him isn't quite helping him

Is it the dope man that come to collect?

Depending on me to keep on coming correct

Or is it the best friend that don't really mind

Sneaking in the excitement because his love is blind?

Is it the women that see me a mile away?

Close the gap hoping that maybe will fly away

Is it the pressure to honor my family?

Am I who I am because I feel like I have to be?

Or is it me?

Me and my addictive personality

Wasted all my time defying gravity

Now I'm stuck here

Out of luck here

Barely free

Something's holding me back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Is it the money I don't wanna spend?

Bank account getting too thick and now I can't pretend like it

Isn't way better than what I imagined

Elevated again before I knew what happened

Is it the bit of karma that I know is coming?

The price I pay for going all or nothing

Or is it the way I feel whenever I'm alone?

Thinking 'bout where I'll be headed when I'm dead and gone

Or is it me?

Me and my addictive personality

Wasted all my time defying gravity

Now I'm stuck here

Out of luck here

Barely free

Something's holding me back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back

Something's holding me back, back
