Motion - The Holdup

I am more then just a guy with a short attention span

Who can write your favorite love song just as good as Marvin can

But I don’t claim to sing it with the talent of that man

I should know how good he is because I am his biggest fan

There’s more to me then jokes and witty lines that I deliver

It’s obsessive behavior that you people do not consider

The lights go out at night it’s not the cold that makes me shiver

It’s the stress of trying to sleep when I got issues that are bigger

Cause lately I’ve been thinking about the girl that I am losing

And I’m concerned about the number of albums that we’ve been moving

Excuse me that when I’m not taking pills I switch to boozing

Cause this Vicodin is weak no matter how much I’m consuming

My cell phone bill is due but I don’t got the cash to pay it

Wanna tell my girl I love her but don’t got the time to say it

I can’t believe in god so I don’t got the right to praying

Just another night alone in this bed I’ve got to lay in

So important that we get this in motion

I don’t think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through

It’s so true

Just ambitious don’t mean to insult you

I got big dreams for big things

So Ima stay right here in the big leagues

I still wonder when you’ll understand

This life in music business got a hold on me

But the lack of friends I have is growing old on me

Ever since they all went cold on me

I am losing everyone and my old homies

Kinda getting lonely with the life I’m leading

I am now realizin that there’s just no pleasing

Everyone you love and they all got reasons

Say that they’re upset cause your gone all season

I miss those days, sit and get wasted with your best friend, drinking wine

I know it tasted like 2 dollar piss

But you don’t care it’s all good cause your friends all there

But you gotta grow up and move on some day

Find a good job and make money some way

But the one night show seems so far away

I guess I’ll still see you 'round the shows I play

So important that we get this in motion

I don’t think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through

It’s so true

Just ambitious don’t mean to insult you

I got big dreams for big things

So Ima stay right here in the big leagues

I still wonder when you’ll understand

I put it on my life that one day I’ll be good

I’ll be driving in the Lexus cruising threw my old hood

On my way to pick you up I’ma fly you out to shows

You can bring all the girls Ima bring all the bros

It’s every boys dream to buy their mom a home

I’m sure that she’ll be shocked at the money I have blown

So go and tell your friends about the places you have gone

All the new clothes you own eah I swear I put that on

I haven’t been around but I swear it gets better

When we make it to the top Ima get us all together

We can party, dance on the beach wind blowing

Sip on your drinks 'til your smiles are showing

Swear to you I haven’t been this happy in a while

And It feels good just to say it yeah it’s good to see you smile

Be patient baby all of our dreams are coming true

And I promise when we make it that I’m coming back for you

So important that we get this in motion

I don’t think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through

It’s so true

Just ambitious don’t mean to insult you

I got big dreams for big things

So Ima stay right here in the big leagues

I still wonder when you’ll understand

So important that we get this in motion

I don’t think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through

It’s so true

Just ambitious don’t mean to insult you

I got big dreams for big things

So Ima stay right here in the big leagues

I still wonder when you’ll understand
