Hold On
Was-a-Bee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Freedom of expression
Religion but the manifestation is flawed
Christianity prevailing over Islam songs
I'm a Christian but I wanna preach equality for all
The signs of displacement forming society in a wasteland
We're dancing on our tiny graces
The rich man speaks up
Fuck the riches our paintings gonna drop
Hold up a minute we're gonna turn it up a notch
My right as a person of color
I feel the aggravation molding you, helping you devour
But who am I sitting on this pedestal
In a situation of misplaced good will
Desiring to be understood
In the corner cloaked in a hood
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Blazing with the fire the dragons gave us
Balancing this elemental make up
Stopping to keep shop
But the dance can't be held up
It's me and you
Me with my tie and you with the groove
I stop for a moment to look
Reading like a closed book
Angular rhythms shaking this next hook
You liberate my thoughts mistook
So just come on and on and on and on
You can teach me songs of old
And the age capturing deceptions making us stay
Grazing to the sky
Dripping colors wherever we fly
Run to the trees
My acorn top
Flare tops you can't keep up.
How was it for you, we'll make it up to you
Just watch just watch
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
(On tv, and radio, I've read the papers and magazines)
(I tried, but I'm still confused, what are the facts, how can I tell?)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
The lyrics of "Hold On" by Was-a-Bee touch on themes of religion, societal displacement, inequality, and the struggle to be understood. The crucifix on the wall represents the presence of religion and freedom of expression, but the manifestation of religion is flawed. The lyrics mention Christianity prevailing over Islam songs, highlighting the imbalances and prejudices that exist. The singer, though a Christian, desires equality for all.
The lyrics also address the signs of displacement and a wasteland society, where people are dancing on their small graces. The rich man speaks up, while the poor feel sick and marginalized. The lyrics express a frustration with wealth and a desire for change, as the singer exclaims, "Fuck the riches our paintings gonna drop."
The second paragraph reflects on the singer's position as a person of color and the aggravation they feel, as well as their own uncertainties and doubts. They long to be understood, but also acknowledge their own role in the situation. The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't want to hold you down," perhaps emphasizing the singer's desire for freedom and an equal playing field.
The third paragraph talks about the fire the dragons gave, representing passion and intensity. The lyrics speak of the balance between the singer with their tie and the other person with their groove, signifying different perspectives and experiences coming together. The singer pauses to observe the other person, feeling captivated and liberated by their thoughts. The lyrics convey a sense of unity and connection as they urge the other person to come on and teach them songs of old.
In conclusion, "Hold On" by Was-a-Bee explores themes of religion, inequality, displacement, and the desire for understanding. It raises questions about belief systems and the struggle to find a sense of belonging and equality within society.

Wait a moment, things are about to get more intense
My right as a person of color
My entitlement as an individual with a non-white racial background
I feel the aggravation molding you, helping you devour
I sense the irritation shaping you, fueling your consumption
But who am I sitting on this pedestal
However, why am I putting myself in a position of superiority
In a situation of misplaced good will
Finding myself in a circumstance where good intentions go astray
Desiring to be understood
Yearning for others to comprehend me
In the corner cloaked in a hood
Being secluded and concealed in a dark place
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
(Questioning the truth, moral correctness, and what to believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to restrict you or hinder your progress
Blazing with the fire the dragons gave us
Burning brightly with the passions bestowed upon us
Balancing this elemental make up
Maintaining equilibrium within our essential composition
Stopping to keep shop
Taking a pause to observe our surroundings
But the dance can't be held up
However, the rhythm and movement cannot be interrupted
It's me and you
Me with my tie and you with the groove
It's a collaboration between me, formal and conventional, and you, spontaneous and rhythmically inclined
I stop for a moment to look
Reading like a closed book
I take a brief pause to observe, although appearing inscrutable
Angular rhythms shaking this next hook
Unconventional patterns of beats and melodies influencing the upcoming chorus
You liberate my thoughts mistook
You free my misunderstood ideas
So just come on and on and on and on
So, please continue relentlessly and continuously
You can teach me songs of old
You have the ability to enlighten me with traditional songs
And the age capturing deceptions making us stay
Trickery specific to the current era ensnares us, making us remain trapped
Grazing to the sky
Dripping colors wherever we fly
Ascending towards the heavens while leaving behind vibrant trails
Run to the trees
My acorn top
Escape to the trees, symbolizing nature
Carrying my small, resilient essence
Flare tops you can't keep up.
Radiant peaks that are impossible to match
How was it for you, we'll make it up to you
How was the experience for you? We will compensate for any shortcomings
Just watch just watch
Simply observe, pay attention
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
(Questioning the truth, moral correctness, and what to believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to restrict you or hinder your progress
(On tv, and radio, I've read the papers and magazines)
(Through television, radio, newspapers, and magazines, I have gathered information)
(I tried, but I'm still confused, what are the facts, how can I tell?)
(I made an effort, but I'm still uncertain. What is the truth? How can I discern it?)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to restrict you or hinder your progress
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to restrict you or hinder your progress
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to restrict you or hinder your progress
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to restrict you or hinder your progress

"You happy to see us then, eh, Dumby?" Rookwasp roared, buzzing ever louder.
"Not particularly, no," Dumbledore said with the slightest of winces as all the stingers ripped into him and the zombie insects tore off great chunks of his flesh with their giant fangs.
"AVADA KASTINGA!" bellowed Severus Sting, as he whirled about and jabbed his barbed stinger into Dumbledore's heart, and Dumbledore perhaps did look slightly bothered by this unforeseen turn of events.
"Oh, fuck," said Sting suddenly as his stinger dislodged, "wellp that's all folks," and toppled from the Astingery Tower to his doom.
What the fuck was in my pumpkin juice at dinner earlier, Harry wondered before blacking out in complete shock.

Ugh, this is so wrong — a bee was _ed so one can make a pointIs video! First off, one knows one shouldn’t get close to bees or provoke them! And if one bee really got stuck, one could have just helped the bee to get his stinger out without it breaking!
