DON’T HOLD ME BACK
Intro
Yeah
Nah—don’t slow me down
Look
Hook
Don’t hold me back, I’m already goooorrnne
Ain’t waitin’ on green lights, I run the dawn
Tried to box me in, but the walls fell flat
Say it clear, say it loud—don’t hold me back
Don’t hold me back, I’m built for this
Pressure on my neck, still cold like this
I came too far to be dragged off track
Say it clear, say it loud—don’t hold me back
Verse 1
I don’t need permission, I move with intent
Every doubt you whispered already got spent
They talk like chains, I hear it as noise
I make diamonds out of pressure, not choices
Hands out, nah—I don’t borrow belief
I earned every breath, every scar, every week
If I pause, it’s strategy, not fear in my chest
I don’t knock on doors—I kick through the test
They said “wait your turn,” I said “watch me lead”
I don’t follow trends, I plant the seed
If I’m quiet, it’s focus, not lack of flame
When I step in the room, everything change
Hook
Don’t hold me back, I’m already goooorrnne
Ain’t waitin’ on green lights, I run the dawn
Tried to box me in, but the walls fell flat
Say it clear, say it loud—don’t hold me back
Don’t hold me back, I’m built for this
Pressure on my neck, still cold like this
I came too far to be dragged off track
Say it clear, say it loud—don’t hold me back
Verse 2
I move like destiny already signed
Name stamped heavy on the front of time
They confuse my calm for a lack of drive
But silence is loud when you know you arrived
I don’t argue with limits, I redraw maps
Every “no” turned fuel, every loss got lapped
I don’t flex for applause, I stand for truth
When I speak, it sound like proof
No leash on my vision, no brakes in my run
If you blink, I’m past you, work already done
I don’t chase validation, I validate self
If you can’t keep pace, that’s nobody else
Bridge (half-time, spoken/chant)
Don’t slow me
Don’t frame me
Don’t shape me small to stay comfy
I’m not for control
I’m here to unfold
Final Hook (double energy)
Don’t hold me back, I’m already goooorrnne
Heart on fire, yeah, the engine on
Tried to box me in, but the walls fell flat
Say it clear, say it loud—don’t hold me back
Don’t hold me back—nah, don’t reach for that
This moment mine, and I’m takin’ it back
If you feel that wave, better step or adapt
Say it clear, say it loud—don’t hold me back
Outro
I didn’t come this far to be paused
I didn’t break chains just to ask for applause
I’m gone.
