Reedukay - Held Down, Held Back

Life been throwing me them curveballs
Been tryna get back up like when I fall
And it ain't been easy, sir, no, not at all
Feel like my life is on standby
Bruh, that's a pause
And it feels like I'm drowning and swimming with Jaws
Running this marathon and I've hit a wall
Devil in my way and he's tryna stall
No, I'm not perfect, I'm working on my flaws

I've been held down, yes
I've been held back
World try to tell me I'm not good enough
But I'm not believing that, hey
I've been held down, yes
I've been held back
Devil always tryna get me
But against God, he ain't no match, hey

Everybody goes through it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody goes through it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Problems just being going on and on for me
And I don't know what these demons
What they want from me
I try to choose my words wisely 'cause I'll go too deep
Every bar I spit is hard 'cause my cause ain't weak
I know that God got me on this road that I'm on
This road that I'm on
I know I'll make it through, Lord
But why it take so long?
Why it take so long 'cause
Devil always tryna pull me in, that's a no no
World telling me I don't fit in
But I'm good though
I believe in me, faith in G-O-D, that's how I roll
Negativity won't let me be, Devil, leave me alone
If you hearing this song, pray for me
Stay by my side, Lord, never leave
Devil plotting and he's playing for keeps
Walking with God where the angels be
What I need is for Satan to back-back
I've worked so hard and I ain't tryna backtrack

Life been throwing me them curveballs
Been tryna get back up like when I fall
And it ain't been easy, sir, no, not at all
Feel like my life is on standby
Bruh, that's a pause
And it feels like I'm drowning and swimming with Jaws
Running this marathon and I've hit a wall
Devil in my way and he's tryna stall
No, I'm not perfect, I'm working on my flaws

I've been held down, yes
I've been held back
World try to tell me I'm not good enough
But I'm not believing that, hey
I've been held down, yes
I've been held back
Devil always tryna get me
But against God, he ain't no match, hey

Everybody goes through it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody goes through it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

God been blessing me as you can see, I've made it
I ain't been the same since my mama passed
Hit me so deep, it changed me
I just been looking up
And asking God, "When it's gon' stop raining?"
But I know I cannot stop
I gotta take care and raise my babies
But it's crazy like

Life been throwing me them curveballs
Been tryna get back up like when I fall
And it ain't been easy, sir, no, not at all
Feel like my life is on standby
Bruh, that's a pause
And it feels like I'm drowning and swimming with Jaws
Running this marathon and I've hit a wall
Devil in my way and he's tryna stall
No, I'm not perfect, I'm working on my flaws

I've been held down, yes
I've been held back
World try to tell me I'm not good enough
But I'm not believing that, hey
I've been held down, yes
I've been held back
Devil always tryna get me
But against God, he ain't no match

I've been held down, held back
Curveballs, curveballs, curveballs
I've been held down, held back
Curveballs, curveballs, curveballs

Been held down long enough, it's been rough
A little different, I've been cut, I'm built tough
Devil get me while I'm feeling low
Until I call on God, yeah, and let 'em know
All the stress and the problems, man, let 'em go
It was holding me down, wouldn't let me grow
I was really about to drown, water in my boat
But in life, we gotta smile and push on (push on)

I've been held down, held back
Curveballs, curveballs, curveballs
I've been held down, held back
Curveballs, curveballs, curveballs
