Told me To

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight

I've been real but I'm changing, drinking that venom of hating
I've been living and aging, up in Asia writing these pages
Never giving up faith in or waiting for sane innovation
Every day for years, I'd be lying to say I've ever been patient
I've been faking it, for the love of life taking it
Hating every motherfucking second but want to stay with it
I've wasted it, looking down on the youth like I'm better
But in fact I'm down and only one step from a Beretta
Up in my mouth, didn't have that planned out
Didn't think I would've failed or had any kind of doubt
But here we are and there we go
I never thought that I would ever care about this
So it shows you never know
Yeah
You never know

They Told Me To
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Yeah
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Yeah
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Yeah
It'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright

But it's not, I clung on and never went to the top
"It'll be alright, baby" brought me nothing but rot
I'm giving up what I got, and clinging onto a rock
Feeling dark energies and they don't want to stop
From like flowing out, I might die when I'm going out
I'm losing my mind being the guy I could do without
I fucking hate this, I feel fake and so naked
Fighting for payslips not stages
It's amazing to me how blatant and patiently
I was waiting I'd gaze in amazement
Between nations and alienation
Dealt with incrimination and vain imitation
I'm done, I'm almost at the end of my run
Running out of time daily and It's just been no fun
To grow up as a son, with no dad just a mum
Leading to an escape to find out who I'd become
Yeah
Who I'd become, who I've become, what I'll become

They Told Me To
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Yeah
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Yeah
Hold Tight, it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright

It's worn off, the feeling of energy at the top
Gotta make another hit to get attention from the mob
It's addictive, hold my beer while I try to mix this
I'll fix them a drink and claim a bunch of victims
This is a cult, of followers, likers, hashtaggers
I'm mad about the ads, social media backstabbers
In fact I have daggers, but I'll be keeping them close to my chest
Right next to the rhymes on my desk
You never know who's next, or whose flow they'll select
So you gotta keep on writing 'til the day the detect
And protect you, from the loneliness that has wrecked you
Infected your mind, made you blind, but Hold Tight

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
