HOLD U BACK Lyrics by Rob Riley

R3LAT3 Season 1

2017

{Intro: Rob Riley]
It's not often you find that one
But when you do
You put a padlock on it
And lock that shit down

[Verse 1: Rob Riley]
Mislead, am I to hold it down plus keep my head up
Misread, I'll just do it 'til I'm fed up
Mistakes, messed up living on pressed luck
Just when I thought it was getting better
Milking my last nerve, the nerve of this heifer
You'd think she'd change after I almost left her
Admitted it's tough to forget her...her...her...
Her smile, her style, waitin' 'round knowing the end results worthwhile
Erstwhile, she gave birth to my first child
And nothing compares, just throw in the towel
Damn that, I'm a man first and I love pussy
I know women listening' like "How could he?"
Would he be any different, if he didn't go through it?
Would it really make a difference?

[Refrain: Rob Riley]
Jail made me a father
Father made me a man
Man can't exist without woman
Here I am
Again, Jail made me a father
Father made me a man
Man can't exist without woman
Here i am
God damn

[Hook: Rob Riley]
I ain't here to hold you back
(Not me)
I'm just here to have your back
(That's me)
Invite you in my home in fact
(Wooooo)
Give you what I know you lack
(On me)

[Verse 2: Rob Riley]
Signal in and out when I'm in the house
When she finally get through, gotta hear her mouth
But i listen let her air it out
Then stop her cold like "Hear me out"!
We fuss then we fuckin' , I wear it out
Break her off from the root, she'll tear it out
That's what we're about, simple compromise
I don't take no shit 'cause I ain't got the time
Not in my house, where I draw the line
Promises and lies, playing with my mind it's fine
I don't wanna go there on her, sans the drama
We both so scared of karma
Can't fault us, partners, 'til the very end
Going through it really made a difference
But did it really make a difference?

[Refrain: Rob Riley]
Jail made me a father
Father made me a man
Man can't exist without woman
Here I am
Again, Jail made me a father
Father made me a man
Man can't exist without woman
Here i am
God damn

[Hook: Rob Riley]
I ain't here to hold you back
(Not me)
I'm just here to have your back
(That's me)
Invite you in my home in fact
(Wooooo)
Give you what I know you lack
(On me)

[Verse 3: Rob Riley]
Arguments, talking then, on and then off again
Start and then stall again, this is all part of this
Larger narrative, we ain't married yet
I can bounce now won't feel half bad
Maybe but it won't be stable for baby
And the statistics are what the system trying to make me
Lately, they've got some success from me
I refuse to repeat the cycle, successfully
It's a nah for me, as sure as I stand
And I'll say it before and I'll say it again

[Refrain: Rob Riley]
Jail made me a father
Father made me a man
Man can't exist without woman
Here I am
Again, Jail made me a father
Father made me a man
Man can't exist without woman
Here i am
God damn

[Hook: Rob Riley]
I ain't here to hold you back
(Not me)
I'm just here to have your back
(That's me)
Invite you in my home in fact
(Wooooo)
Give you what I know you lack
(On me)
