about

This last song of the EP brings the whole project full circle. We started with Questions that we asked ourselves about ourselves. Being Boxed In sometimes leads to us feeling some sort of Pain, and we all need people to Hold us Down with or without Love Letters. With a gospel choir sample and live drums, this song brings a big dynamic energy to finish off the EP.

This energy is meant to replicate the feeling of holding on. The feeling that you have when you know that, at the end of the day, through all your hardships, crazy thoughts, self-doubt and affliction, everything is going to be ok, as long as you Hold On, hold on to what you know and hold on to what you love.

This is The Index to My Inner Thoughts… Let your thoughts be known.

lyrics

Hold on
I'm just trying to make it here
I took a moment for my myself so I can make it clear
I got dreams of a million dollar chandelier
Failure’s my only fear, and I will never disappear
Memories and souvenirs, views from the belvedere
Shout to my engineer, it's been one hell of a year
(Ok)
From Montreal to Paris, Portugal to Tokyo then ended up in Seoul
Sorry I've been busy but, I've been on the road
With pen and paper, writing music on the go
Oh, and no you can't stop me
From the home of the Maple Leaf, and where we play hockey
With frozen cold winters where, some of us are born sinners
And others are born killers, that bang like gorillas
I’m a real go getter, with dreams of Coachella
And hella mo' cheddah, I just don't know no better, like


You can never stop my grind
You can never stop my grind
Ima take what's mine
Ima go and take what's mine
I think that I lost my
That I lost my mind

I think that I lost my mind,
Cause we be wasting so much time
I think that I lost my mind
Cause we be wasting so much time
Time is all we have, to make these moments last
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back

Homie just wait a minute
Read between the lines, I promise the truth in it
Like I'm just here to set it straight
Write it down and ventilate
Smoke a little and mediate
I’m hoping that you would relate
To pictures that I illustrate
Words that I orchestrate
Emotions that I emulate
And moments that I recreate

Ok homie you can watch me break it down
I just need a little soul up in my sound
If you didn't know, well now you know me now
I was searching for something I never found
On the yellow brick road, where the journey is cold
That I promise my heart froze in a blizzard with no snow
Like, I'm just trying to hold on
I'm just trying to hold on
I'm just trying to hold on

I think that I lost my mind,
Cause we be wasting so much time
I think that I lost my mind
Cause we be wasting so much time
Time is all we have to make these moments last
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back
Too caught up in the moment
There’s nothing left holding me back

We just tryna hold on
Hold on to what we got
Hold on to what we know
And hold on to what we love
This is The Index to my Inner thoughts
Let your thoughts be known

about

L. Teez Montreal, Québec

My inspiration finds its roots from many different aspects of life: our daily lives, emotions, and those little moments we all live through which are experienced differently from one individual to the next.

Anything that has the capability to make us feel, negative or positive, drives me to tell a story or to make the listener understand a certain emotion or moment through my words & poetry.
