Yeah… Pokemons in my head, lights flicker when I breathe White walls, dark thoughts, still I’m chasin’ dreams Chorus Hold up, hold up, hold up. I got pain, I got problems, who gon’ write these wrongs Hold up, hold up, hold up. Heart cold, mind racing, tryna stay strong Hold up, hold up, hold up. Demons knock, I lock ‘em out, but they too strong Hold up, hold up, hold up. Still I’m standing in the storm, singing sad songs Verse 1 They say patient, but I’m tired of the wait Paper gown, paper smile, try to act okay Pills lined up like soldiers, marchin’ in my veins Doc talkin’ ‘bout tomorrow, I’m stuck on yesterday Voices whisper budgets, debts, and all my fears PTSD playing reruns in my ears Mama said pray, I do, but faith get thin When the mirror look back like, “You sure you him?” Pre-Chorus Locked doors, but my mind still roam Group therapy, but I feel alone Heartbeat drum with the 808 If I make it out, imma elevate Chorus Hold up, hold up, hold up. I got pain, I got problems, who gon’ write these wrongs Hold up, hold up, hold up. Heart cold, mind racing, tryna stay strong Hold up, hold up, hold up. Demons knock, I lock ‘em out, but they too strong Hold up, hold up, hold up. Still I’m standing in the storm, singing sad songs Verse 2 Charts on the wall, they chart my decline Mood swing like a pendulum, lost track of time I’m a case file, number, barcode name But I’m more than a label, more than the pain Night shift nurse say, “You’ll be alright” I nod, but my thoughts still fight all night Turn trauma into cadence, scars into art If this beat keep thumpin’, maybe I can restart Bridge If healing a marathon, I’m lacing my shoes Every step hurt, but I got nothin’ to lose From padded rooms to stages with lights I’ma tell my truth till it sound like life Chorus Hold up, hold up, hold up. I got pain, I got problems, who gon’ write these wrongs Hold up, hold up, hold up. Heart cold, mind racing, tryna stay strong Hold up, hold up, hold up. Demons knock, I lock ‘em out, but they too strong Hold up, hold up, hold up. Still I’m standing in the storm, singing sad songs Outro Yeah… Still here, still breathing, still making a way Mental patient, but I’m patient with the pain Fade out… brain fog in my head, but I remain.
