"Holding Me Back" lyrics

(Blast off) (Let's do it, go)
Mm, nigga, it's our year, nigga, 2026, gettin' all blue shit
All fast shit, these bitches ain't gon' know what to do (Go)
These niggas ain't gon' be able to keep up (Give me the aux, go)
I promise you we doin' this year bigger than ever, nigga (Alright)

Huh, I was the one who was holdin' me back, seein' my friends gettin' farther than me (Gettin' farther than me)
Knowin' the shit that I did my life and just hopin' that my kids see a father in me (Alright)
Realize I might be the problem and everything was the thing that was botherin' me (Alright)
Had to get rid of my friends 'cause I need niggas around who smarter than me

All of my bills is paid and all of my homies get asked for a dollar from me
Ask these niggas who gave 'em their swag, I bet you, they tell you they got it from me
Some of these niggas tryna run off with it, a lot of this shit been started with me (Huh)
I was the bad-ass youngin' with glasses, fourteen years old, jumped in the streets (Alright)
Tie up your boots, nigga, tie up your cleats (Yeah)
I was accustomed to hidin' my pain and puttin' my thoughts in my heart on the beat (Yeah)
Two niggas jump out the back of the car, 'fore he died he imagined him livin' in peace
Judge give the verdict, he givin' him life now, he wished that he never had jumped in the beef
I told a bitch she can do as she please, she'll die 'fore she find someone solid as me
Came out the gutter, ain't got it like me (Alright)
Nigga, I'm ready to die on the stage, it's the only place I really wanted to be (Alright)
Bitch, I can tell you about chasin' your dreams, I've been on this shit 'fore I listened to me
I already know what I wanted to say, I just put it in place, made it rhyme with the beat (You ready, nigga? You ready?)

I was the one who was holdin' me back, seein' my friends gettin' farther than me
Knowin' the shit that I did my life and just hopin' that my kids see a father in me (Just hopin' that my kids see a father in me)
Realize I might be the problem and everything was the thing that was botherin' me
Had to get rid of my friends 'cause I need niggas around who smarter than me (I need niggas around who smarter than me)
I was the one who was holdin' me back, seein' my friends gettin' farther than me (Gettin' farther than me)
Knowin' the shit that I did my life and just hopin' that my kids see a father in me (just hopin' that my kids see a father in me)
Realize I might be the problem and everything was the thing that was botherin' me (The thing that was botherin' me)
Had to get rid of my friends 'cause I need niggas around who smarter than me (Alright)
