Hold Back the Rain
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear to god
They better hold me back
The way I do it
They ain't got it like that
And you can
Fuck around and find out
No cap
The way I kill it
It's a crime
Every time I'm on the track
Yeah
Hold up hold up
I've been getting no sleep
Finessed a couple checks and now
I'm dripping like a nosebleed
Everything I do is big
Fuck keeping that shit low key
Devs probably gonna nerf me
Y'all complaining that I'm OP
Yea
I wonder what this shit
Will do to me
All the time I spend at night
Up grinding way past
Two or three
I know I'm sick
Everyday I got a new disease
Can't think about nothing else
I swear this shit's consuming me
Cause it's all I know
I can't let it go
I wish I would have known
What this would do to me
I'm in too deep
I swear to god
This shit's consuming me
When you're doing right
Everybody wanna hate that
Finally hitting your stride
And you know they
Wanna take that
Open up my eyes
Just to see where
All the snakes at
But I ain't trying to hide
Ain't no way that
I could fake that
Wake up in the morning press
Record cause it's time
To go get it
Sometimes feels like
Part of me is broke
But I've been trying to fix it
Remember all the nights
I spent alone
I was up in my feelings
Wonder why I can't
Relate to nobody
Guess I'm just different
And I'm trying to find
What was missing
Too much on my mind
Close my eyes now I'm spinning
Yea it might be hard
But you ain't catching me quitting
If it's how you
Play your cards
Guess you get
What you get then
I swear to god
They better hold me back
The way I do it
They ain't got it like that
And you can
Fuck around and find out
No cap
The way I kill it
It's a crime
Every time I'm on the track
I wonder what this shit
Will do to me
All the time I spend at night
Up grinding way past
Two or three
I know I'm sick
Everyday I got a new disease
Can't think about nothing else
I swear this shit's consuming me
Cause it's all I know
I can't let it go
I wish I would have known
What this would do to me
I'm in too deep
I swear to god
This shit's consuming me
Cause it's all I know
I can't let it go
I wish I would have known
What this would do to me
I'm in too deep




I swear to god
This shit's consuming me
