Lyrics

Holier

Take it away And though we struggle apart Thought I was good, but I'm not And though it troubles my heart Don't want to cover the scar So I go where they hold me down And I go where they hold me down And you're not gonna take my crown And I'm tryin', but this time around I'ma float, yeah, I'm floating away Sittin' around, and I found out it ain't 'bout no wait I don't care what you're talkin' about All the shit that you say You won't learn anyway 'Cause I'd rather be holier And I'd rather be holier (Mm) 'Cause I'd rather be holier 'Cause I'd rather be holier Never again Never again
