Thx for checking out the video and track! It's one of the tracks that i knew as soon as i heard the beat and starting writing that it would be one of my favorites and it's lived up to that. I'm really proud of the production and everything that went into it. It also features one of my favorite vocalists and someone i'm honored to work with Lydia Paek. the song is about everything that's going on inside your brain to hold you back from ...everything. Self Doubt. Self Worth. Self Love. everything is in doubt. This is my way of dealing with that doubt. The video to me also represents re-birth in a way...and some adoption feelings. I feel like the video represents this sense of anxiety that we have as adoptees feeling disconnected from the place that birthed us - which contributes to our feelings of longing and feelings of doubt.

Pre-Verse
I was never out for my health
Stacking nothing, but my mind well,
Running, Running but the time swells
And you became a minefield
So i’m out for myself, now
And you can never hold me down
You could never hold me hold me
You could never hold me down
You could never hold me down
Verse 1
Got dreams, got dreams that are bigger than yours
Got dreams, that you couldn’t afford
Got dreams, and they coming in scores
Got dreams, Got dreams but they’re never enough
Got dreams and im callin they bluff
Got dreams but my time’s running up i erupt
Cuz when the going gets tough man the tough just gets faded
im pushing it harder but thats understated
when the stress and relief are two opposite pressures
The diamond within wont abide by aggressor
Im smiling no cheshire, my grips on that Tesla
To one day have something more tangible fess up
Im wanting that money. Im wanting it give up.
But these people in my way do nothing but live up
They living that life but it’s empty inside em
And i have the hunger to conquer divide em
These fuck boys they ride em, but I just see past it
To put in the time for the craft that we master
i’m mobbing it faster, while they just sleep soundly
So i’m gutting em blind if they ever around me
I’m writing like my life depends on this pen i’ve been given
God knows that i’m driven but that shits a given
Chorus
And you can never hold me down
You could never hold me hold me
You could never hold me down
You could never hold me down
Verse 2
Got dreams, got dreams everyone of em rare
Got dreams and they making me scared
Got dreams and i’m never prepared
Got dreams, Got dreams that i’m running away
Got dreams and I'm feeling ashamed
Got dreams and it’s making me drained i’m afraid
everyday to keep going it’s way too ambitious
to keep up your dreams when the business is vicious
And the people are bad but your confidence worse off
to always compare what you’re doing, cuz first off
Got panic attacks and they slowing me , and i have been showing
The look on my face that i’m knowing,
that baby i’m no one, the seeds i’ve been sowing
a garden of anxiety i’ve been growing,
But These dreams they have kept me alive everyone of them tied
to a moment in my past i tried
to be something much bigger than I,
This self can surprise, so i hold on till the day that i die
It’s reason of why that i can’t seem to lie down
My mind is just racing and every second defys how
They looking me straight in the eyes and can’t seem to shake me
you love it or you hate it, but never you’ll break me
Chorus
And you can never hold me down
You could never hold me hold me
You could never hold me down
You could never hold me down
You're the only one holding yourself back.
