Holding on Is Holding You Back (Explicit) - push baby
Lyrics by:Jake Roche
Composed by:Jake Roche
Yooo that's nice
Alright alright
Settle down settle down
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
In these times I'm surprised I've let these things end in a mess
I've bottled it up so much it's infected my head
But it was hard to write it down on a page
With someone else holding the pen
And now I'm left with no inhibitions
It's only myself to please
There's only so many d**ks you can suck
Till your knees start to bleed
And your jaw starts to lock as you mumble
Set me free
It's like I was a child in a supermarket
And someone was holding me by the collar
So I didn't get lost
And I was stuck by the fruit and veg section screaming
Has anyone seen my dad I don't know where he is
And so for a while it seemed I was wandering around
Tryna figure out what it all means like
Why are we here what do I believe
Why did I hand the power over to a corporation
That lost control of my dreams but
Out the blue I got a text from Zac
I told him my situation and that I can't relax and he said
I think you'd be surprised how much holding on
Is holding you back
Yeah
It's holding you back
Yooo that's nice
Yeah
It's holding you back from the things that you like
It's holding you back so you can't see the light
It's holding you back
Yooo that's nice
It's holding you back
So I was 16 with a head full of dreams
And I was telling Danny it'll be me you'll see on that arena stage
There's people going insane
And I'll try get Ari's number mate but you're twice her age
And then came a couple of years where I was lost
I was bumming around reminiscing about top of the pop saying
Hey I made it once I got to the top
Yeah and now you're depressed just because you got dropped
But I learnt to face the music and dance
Even if the rhythm is off and you can't control your hands
Even when your money hits zero and you're begging for fans
And when the man with the briefcase say's you can't
Ya f**king can lad
And it's a tough code to crack
To realise the journey is where it's at
And I still have to say to myself
I think you'd be surprised how much holding on young man
Is holding you back
Yooo that's nice
It's holding you back
Yeah
It's holding you back
It's holding you back from the things that you like
It's holding you back so you can't see the light
It's holding you back
It's holding you back
If you're holding on to something
Let it go
Don't fight the feeling
Oh no
Yooo that's nice
If you're holding on to something
Let it go
Don't fight the feeling
Oh no
Now I hope you don't take this as me saying I've made it
Because "made it" is subjective
And I've learnt that "making it" is all about happiness
That's the main objective
And I guess maybe I just had a shift in perspective
So now it's up to me to sit back and relax
And no longer focus on the things that I lack
And thanks to Zac
I've finally come to realise that holding on
Ya get what I'm saying
If you're holding on to something
Let it go
Don't fight the feeling
Oh no
Yooo that's nice
If you're holding on to something
It's holding you back from the things that you like
Let it go
It's holding you back so you can't see the light
Don't fight the feeling
It's holding you back
Oh no
It's holding you back
Yooo that's nice
