Holding On To You by TRaddawi Lyrics
[Intro: TRaddawi]
Wake up Mr. Raddawi
Yeah, I'll fuck up a good thing if you let me
Hold my hand, welcome to therapy
Do you trust me?
To view what dream, and what fantasy?
Yeah, I'm losing him rapidly
I'm losing him rapidly
Wake up Mr. Raddawi
[Chorus: ALI]
In time, this time, I'm holding on to you
Wake up! Wake up!
In time, we'll know what to do
Mr. Raddawi
This time, I know, I can tell you the truth
But I, can't tell, when I know this, can I mistake?
[Verse 1: TRaddawi]
The only instrument he ever mastered has no strings attached
Only his audience of one mattered, wore rose tinted glass
Then it unfolds, and the tableaux then gets old
And it all crumbles
Low and behold, in a rainbow, but fuck no
Bandit wall bubbles
So what of these convoluted scenarios in my head
That I can't kick? I'm no Tribe Called Quest
I can't even ask the Cranberries to double check
Oh he's a writer, see? Which now must mean
That his reality is just a scene that he's dreamt up
And actually tries to enforce what he's schemed
Nah, that ain't how he works, fuck you mean?
[Bridge: TRaddawi & ALI]
When I'm holding on to you, to you
The price you pay for being honest, real as fuck
Now he's trying to balance three instruments but then gets stuck
Soon as he's about to master one, the next then smells blood
Blood
[Chorus:ALI]
In the somber, this time, I can't always say
When I'm holding on, I'm holding on
To things I never knew, I knew
In time, In time
I'm holding on to you
To you
I'm holding on to you
To you
Do you trust me?
Wake up Mr Raddawi
I'm holding on
[Verse 2: TRaddawi]
When she's miles away, there's a lotta trials that weigh
On your life today, spending your lives astray
At times he wonders if it's easier to walk away
No more fights, even if he needed her, won't talk again
But going for what's easy, I gotta say, is child's play
I have curved the fakes, I've been here before
Cause I had the courage to say, what the others won't
Thought it was my worst mistake, and the cover's blown
I was by that girl betrayed, in the danger zone
But now I'm so grown with dreams of being on Stone's Throw
My heart of gold's known, my art is home grown
With an off the dome flow, a coast to coast show
Perform at the Rose Bowl, and there it goes yo
Back to the underground, see you when I spawn
I am forever crowned, as I now hold on
[Chorus: TRaddawi & ALI]
In time, I know what to do
As I now hold on
When I'm holding on to you, to you, to you
As I now hold on
When I'm holding on to you, to you to you
[Outro]
Wake Up Mr. Raddawi
Wake up Mr. Raddawi
Yeah, I'll fuck up a good thing if you let me
Hold my hand, welcome to therapy
Do you trust me?
To view what dream, and what fantasy?
Yeah, I'm losing him rapidly
I'm losing him rapidly
Wake up Mr. Raddawi
[Chorus: ALI]
In time, this time, I'm holding on to you
Wake up! Wake up!
In time, we'll know what to do
Mr. Raddawi
This time, I know, I can tell you the truth
But I, can't tell, when I know this, can I mistake?
[Verse 1: TRaddawi]
