I said the lights don't help these days
Chances are that if you're ten rows back, I can't even see your face
I been hiding in the only thing that ever made me safe
Long enough to make me addicted, turn it into my cage
Who the fuck wants to drink my wine?
Put the last up on hold, honey, I don't think I'll make it in time
This whole game's got me fakin' a smile
And tied down to the tracks I laid down, tryna gain an extra mile
This is all of me, another thorn-stem apology
Writing in the heat of the pressure, dyin' for harmony
Lost, 'til they find me with the bullet with the cross in it
Hung around my neck like somebody told me there's God in it
Yeah, I guess I got a problem with reality
And never look to heaven when the devil in me flash his teeth
That's the part of me I'm tryin' to change
And swing hard now, I'm breakin' the chains—now get away from me
I said the road's so hard and rough
Said I'm trying not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So this shovel that it digs my grave
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Hey, hey, hey
From time to time, like Bryan, I'm a shell of myself
If I was a weaker man, I'd put a shell in myself
Either ballin' on a budget or fallin' on the deficit
Plenty of self-worth with no means of investin' it
The blessings get few and far between, so I'm stressin' shit
Lady Luck is celibate, she ain't fuckin' with me
Hidin' behind a habit, starts to lookin' mighty temptin'
Hurtin' behind a image; I ain't pimpin', I'm just limpin'
Tryna walk it off or walk it out, that's just what the South's about
Handlin' adversity whenever I step out the house
Whether the weather's sunny or nastier than sauerkraut
Every endeavor takes bits of faith until you left with doubt
No tears for fears, but I swear I won't shout
Kick, scream, and strain, but that ain't gon' change a thing
Big-screen the game, you see but don't feel the pain
A junkie is a cripple, but he won't show you the cane, so
I said the road's so hard and rough
Said I'm trying not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So this shovel that it digs my grave
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Hey, hey, hey
I'm tryna look deep inside myself
Can't look inside no one else
I'm my own worst enemy
I got this restlessness in me, and I don't understand
There's no measure to this man, but I keep sinkin' in that sand
How will I ever be able to grow?
Feelin' like the last dragon, I'm searchin' for the glow
Days darker than the crow, fly when the sky's nice
Can't get caught up in the lows tryna keep my eyes white
But I smoke, strive to do right like them Flight brothers
And not just 'cause them red and blue lights love us
I'm scared to live, not afraid of laws
Shit, I ain't scared of niggas that ain't scared at all
But I am scared of fate, hope you hear my call
And ain't no crabs in that bucket, none will share my fall
I got shackles on my feet, hands bound to my chest
Convicted of being a victim of self
Is my best just livin' life tryin' to end up on heaven's guest list
Or livin' life, do what I fuckin' feel 'til death hits?
I said the road's so hard and rough
Said I'm trying not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So this shovel that it digs my grave
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Hey, hey, hey
