Lyrics Held Down, Held Back - Reedukay

Life been throwing me them curveballs
Been trying to 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 trying to 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 trying to 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 trying to 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 trying to backtrack

Life been throwing me them curveballs
Been trying to 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 trying to stall
No, I'm not perfect I'm working on my flaws

I've been held down yes
And 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
And I've been held back
Devil always trying to 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 momma passed
Hit me so deep it changed me
I just been looking up
And asking God when it's gone stop raining
But I know I cannot stop I got to take care
And raise my babies but it's crazy like

Life been throwing me them curveballs
Been trying to 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 trying to stall
No, I'm not perfect I'm working on my flaws

I've been held down yes
And 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
And I've been held back
Devil always trying to 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 got to 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
