Hold Em' ft. Shoshanna Lyrics

Life

So many ups and downs, smiles and frowns

When the going gets tough, will you find a way to turn it around

Life

Uh, yeah

I'm fighting battles in my head and I'm realizing it

I'm talking everyday but I do a good job of hiding it

And I'm still deciding if I wanna leave from inside of it

It's gets dangerous in this brain with truth and lies in it

I'm not talking to you, I'm talking about lying to myself

That I don't have habits with zero problems and don't need help

If I had to be vocal about my feelings then I'm in debt

If I'm feeding my own mind with thoughts, who's the ref

It gets dark in here, yeah

Relax and take a breath, yeah

You might not like what's in Hell's Kitchen when I'm the chef

Ever wonder what death is like, when things ain't right

Money's tight and insecurities take over your life

Worried about what everybody might think is tight

Everyone is in control except for who's on the mic

Does your mind ever wander off on a bad day

Relieving pain is only one balcony jump away

Feel like I've had enough, I'm about to give it up

They just keep trying me and I got no time for wasting

Do I surrender now? Cards down and fold it

Think I'll just keep the crown, sleeves up and hold it

Feel like I've had enough, I'm about to give it up

They just keep trying me and I got no time for wasting

Do I surrender now? Cards down and fold it

Think I'll just keep the crown, sleeves up and hold it

How I feel right now is giving me problems, only time can solve 'em

This corporate job is weighing on me, motivation dissolving

With the addition of COVID-19, I can almost see the writing

Spray painted clear on the wall

Declining and about to fall

Do you keep doing something when there's no more passion and ya heart's not in it

Do enough just to get by, going through the motions till the day has ended

6 years and running, top of the world then ya hunger disappears like magic

Swear this is tragic like a funeral without an open casket

But then I turn around and think about the other route

Changing my mindset, I'm only in a drought

Came back before when I was down and out

One foot out the door but never bowing out

Battle back, flying down the field in the 4th like Peyton Manning in Denver running up the score

Then defend the lead like the Detroit Pistons hitting the boards in 2004

Always gotta get myself back in line

My thoughts drift and they don't mind

Time to get back on the grind and control whatever I can and make what I want mine

And grab my life by the feet, legs, sternum, throat and head

Cause this ain't Texas fold 'em, they call it Texas Hold 'Em

Feel like I've had enough, I'm about to give it up

They just keep trying me and I got no time for wasting

Do I surrender now? Cards down and fold it

Think I'll just keep the crown, sleeves up and hold it

Feel like I've had enough, I'm about to give it up

They just keep trying me and I got no time for wasting

Do I surrender now? Cards down and fold it

Think I'll just keep the crown, sleeves up and hold it
