Nothing Holding Me Back
Eight minutes and forty-six seconds
Standing on my neck
Don't forget to call your wife
Tell her you'll be late for dinner instead
Say it's a suicide
That I was on drugs
I wasn't born right
That's why you want me dead (dead)
That's why you want me dead
One half brown, never white, never right,
Never allowed to speak up and fight
Oh no, no, no
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Screamin' out my mother's name
How could you look, look away
Turn a blind eye, ignore the facts
Everytime we are attacked?
.we are attacked?
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Standing on my neck
Don't forget to call your wife
Tell her you'll be late for dinner instead
Say it's a suicide
That I was on drugs
I wasn't born right
That's why you want me dead (dead)
That's why you want me dead
One half brown, never white, never right,
Never allowed to speak up and fight
Oh no, no, no
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Screamin' out my mother's name
How could you look, look away
Turn a blind eye, ignore the facts
Everytime we are attacked?
.we are attacked?
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
Got nothin' holdin' me back
Got nothin' holdin' me back now
