Niska Napoleon - Holding Me

This is my story, everybody's got a song
But I have to let go, so I can move on
A source of tension all my life
Couldn't speak up then, was too afraid to fight
A world of emotion held inside
A tortured soul living a hermit life
The time has come now for me to take
All the years back when, when I couldn't say
All the things that were holding me back
Are the things that you wanted to
And although I couldn't shake it, fought so hard so I could say that
I am here not because of you in spite of you I made it through
Straight through the fog, I'll come out on top
I'll break every block, I'll hit every stop
Never will I give in, never will I give them
Always played the victim, man with the thick hand
See you in your brand new life
Had to start again, had to pay the price
I'm so tired of pretending to be okay
And watch you do it all again
I am strong now, it's not my role
To hold your head up cuz you're full grown
All the things that were holding me back
Are the things that you wanted to
And although I couldn't shake it, fought so hard so I could say that
I am here not because of you in spite of you I made it through
Straight through the fog, I'll come out on top
I'll break every block, I'll hit every stop
Never will I give in, never will I give them
Always played the victim, man with the thick hand
With a thick hand, you're no victim
I have witnessed all of your wicked
It don't matter what you say
When you keep repeating the same mistakes
I am strong now, it's not my role
To hold your head up cuz you're full grown
Hear my fire, feel my light
I'm the voice that should have said, this isn't right
All the things that were holding me back
Are the thing that you wanted to
And although I couldn't shake it, fought so hard so I could say that
I am here not because of you in spite of you I made it through
