Hold Yourself. (Spoek Mathambo Remix) Lyrics by Tune-Yards

2021

Parents are children
Parents are children
Parents were children all of the time
Parents, they made us
They tried to raise us
But parents betrayed us even when they tried
They held us close and clear
And told us lies that they've been telling themselves for years
They'll suffocate me, so I'll
Hold myself now
I have to hold myself now
No choice of when and I don't know how
But I will hold myself now
Child, I won't have you
I cannot have you
Child, I won't have you and I'm telling you why
I cannot mend this
I have to end this
I can't pretend without a break inside
Oh, I'll hold you close and clear
And tell you lies that I've been telling myself for years
I'll suffocate you, so you
Hold yourself now
You have to hold yourself now
No choice of when and who knows how
But you will hold yourself now
We all have doubts (We all have doubts)
We all have rage (We all have rage)
We all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page (We all have trouble being brave enough)
But we will
Hold ourselves now
Yes, we will hold ourselves now
No choice of when and who knows how
But we must hold ourselves now
Hold ourselves now
Yes, we will hold ourselves now
No choice of when and we are learning now
So we will hold ourselves now
We all have doubts (We all have doubts)
We all have rage (We all have rage)
We all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page (We all have trouble being brave enough)
We all have doubts (We all have doubts)
We all have rage (We all have rage)
We all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page (We all have trouble being brave enough)
We all have doubts (We all have doubts)
We all have rage (We all have rage)
We all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page (We all have trouble being brave enough)
