Boxout - FAMILY TIES Lyrics

As a kid, I was very shy
My only friends were Pokemon and Lego blocks
But my mom and dad were very kind
Spent all of their hours pulling out the stops

They were building up my confidence
So I listened to their sentiments

They said go, little baby
Let me see what you do
And if you fall, we'll all be right here next to you

And oh, oh, I know
That I've still got a long way to go
But when I'm anxious, and I'm terrified
I know they'll be right there by my side
And I know gotta loosen up a little
But my family gonna hold me down

They gonna hold me down
Yeah they gonna hold me down
They gonna hold me down
My family gonna hold me down

School been kicking my ass
But I'm the one who puts the pressure on myself
Dozing off in my class
Cuz I gotta think about my mental health

And I've been staying up past dawn
Grinding down my gears, don't know where i'm going yet
Cuz life been playing full press
I've been in the game, and my family in the stands like

Woah, honey darling
You're a shining star
And when you rise we know that you'll go oh so far

And oh, oh, I know
That I've still got a long way to go
But when I'm anxious, and I'm terrified
I know they'll be right there by my side
And I know gotta loosen up a little
But my family gonna hold me down

They gonna hold me down
Yeah they gonna hold me down
They gonna hold me down
My family gonna hold me down

You're on a roll, you made it this far
And I want you to know
That you're gonna make it
Where you wanna go
You're on a roll, you made it this far
And I want you to know
That your family's gonna hold you
Yeah you're family's gonna hold you down

They gonna hold you down
They gonna hold you down
They gonna hold you down
You're family's gonna hold you down yeah
Yeah your family's gonna hold you down
