Holdin’ It Down for the Underground Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
And every time I come home
Some more of me it isn't there
I gotta get it together
I need to do things for myself
I've given everything, but still you take more from me
I need some room to breathe
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, you know this isn't what we planned on
Come on, come on, tell me we'll be okay (We'll be okay!)
Let's go back, let's go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
[Verse 2]
This isn't what I remember
Everyone's looking out for just themselves
If need be, I'll be happy to leave
Just be warned, I'll be taking most of you with me
I see straight through
That smile straight through that painted face
Don't think that I can't tell
Which one of you is against me
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
And every time I come home
Some more of me it isn't there
I gotta get it together
I need to do things for myself
I've given everything, but still you take more from me
I need some room to breathe
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, you know this isn't what we planned on
Come on, come on, tell me we'll be okay (We'll be okay!)
Let's go back, let's go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
[Verse 2]
This isn't what I remember
Everyone's looking out for just themselves
If need be, I'll be happy to leave
Just be warned, I'll be taking most of you with me
I see straight through
That smile straight through that painted face
Don't think that I can't tell
Which one of you is against me
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, you know this isn't what we planned on
Come on, come on, tell me we'll be okay (We'll be okay!)
Let's go back, let's go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
[Bridge]
I have the greatest faith in fools
I turned my back and out came the wolves
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Breakdown]
Pay attention!
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, you know this isn't what we planned on
Come on, come on, tell me we'll be okay (We'll be okay!)
Let's go back, let's go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
[Outro]
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
Come on, come on, you know this isn't what we planned on
Come on, come on, tell me we'll be okay (We'll be okay!)
Let's go back, let's go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
[Bridge]
I have the greatest faith in fools
I turned my back and out came the wolves
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Breakdown]
Pay attention!
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, you know this isn't what we planned on
Come on, come on, tell me we'll be okay (We'll be okay!)
Let's go back, let's go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
[Outro]
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away

What did A Day To Remember say about "Holdin’ It Down for the Underground"?
Genius Answer
In an interview with Altenrative Press Jeremy said:
When I was in the process of writing this song, two close family members passed away. We were on the road and it wasn’t possible for me to be at either of their funerals. It was the first time I had lost people that I was actually close to, and it was hard for me. Writing this was kind of a healing process for me.
