Hold the Commentary

Hold the commentary
Let me eat my food
You don't need my whole itinerary
Just to say hello to you

You got questions for the waiter, you got notes about my plate
Got opinions on my jacket, got a plan about my date
I just came to see my cousin and to hear about his week
You been running a small panel every time I try to speak
If the table had a mute key, I would know just where it goes
You can keep the running verdict, I can keep my dinner warm
Not a press day, not a meeting, not a public review
There's a person in this chair, not a channel built for you

Hold the commentary
Let me eat my food
You don't need my whole itinerary
Just to say hello to you

Now you're asking why I'm quiet, I was trying to be kind
I can hand you back your questions, I can put a little line
You don't need to like my haircut, you don't need to love my plans
You can tell me something funny, you can pass me those yams
We can talk about the weather, we can talk about the game
We can even sit in silence, nothing wrong with being plain
If you really want to know me, let an answer reach the end
There's a difference between talking and inspecting all your friends

Pass the bowl
Take a breath
Hold the commentary
Let the dinner rest

Hold the commentary
Let me eat my food
You don't need my whole itinerary
Just to say hello to you

Hold the Commentary
