Holding Back


Going to school each and evryday Not wanting to start any trouble with anybody People saying things about you behind your back Not really knwoing all the facts Teachers saying "Don't do that" or "Don't say that" Why should I listen to keep hearing rumors behing my back Willing to tell you when you are fake Don't like you all up in my face People known for starting drama I call what I see and I know when I"m right So don't tell me I"m wrong Wanting to fight you But holdin' back Knowing I'm going to get in lots of trouble Don't want to do that
