Hold it down, Sit back and watch the team, Hold it down, This isn't on the screens World in the palms of my hands Don't be cautionary We're weary, WE're ready I'm solo, Ain't no more secrets now Been all on my own On the brink of breaking out THis is the pinnacle No contradiction though We're not ordinary Now let's get down. So divine, I had to check if it was real, Overdue in time, Yeah I might be a god but I'm not your hero Full throttle, Full throttle Gonna make this last forever, The motto, this the motto Gonna make this future better My heart is bleeding from the pain that I keep paying back in kind Used to fail at my own game But now I play it all the time I'll admit it, I'll admit it, It was kinda scary, I had to bury all my demons Underneath the pavement Holding onto distant recollections I've been waiting for this day to come (yeah) Been making changes had to get the stars aligned We chose to grind instead of sleeping through the night Just hold it in to the end You'll start to feel it When you rise up from the bottom And begin to hit the ceiling Hold it down, Sit back and watch the team, Hold it down, This isn't on the screens World in the palms of my hands Don't be cautionary We're weary, WE're ready From the start of all time WE all been gifted You gotta count all of your blessings Don't play innocent You're riding, I'm guiding, And we will maintain Living in a paradox We all can only try to hold it down Hold it down Who's gon have your back and hold it down when no one is around Launch pad, taking off, 3, 2, 1.

[@MapleWhale]

I've watched you for a long time and it has been an honor to grow up with your stuff over the years. People using their experience of being youtaites and going wild on chorus battles just for the funsies. And then evolving into things like indie/commerical vtubers, audio engineers/mixers, motion designers, streamers, professional singers, even voice actors. All of them are artists on their own account and it will always be inspiring new people to come. I hope you have a sweet life man. Eat lots of good foods, stay healthy, and keep being awesome! ☺

[@luneseishin11]

not gonna lie the mixing and production in this version fixed this for me, i really didn't like it when it was originally released but this version made me enjoy the song a lot more
