Nobody's Holding My Bag
“Nobody's Holding My Bag” is track 12 on Rob Matare's Hip-Hop album Put It in Ink, released October 9, 2026. Hip-hop about boundaries and the people worth keeping: no plus one, no soft launch, and a brother who stayed.
“Nobody's Holding My Bag” lyrics
Nobody's holding my bag
Nobody's holding me back
I got a strap for my shoulder
I got my friends where I'm at
Nobody's holding my bag
Let me get both hands up
She came through with the practical fit
Small black bag and a smile that hit
Said she didn't need rescuing, needed a song
I said what do you want? She said something long
We got space by the speaker, water on ice
Phone face down, that's a beautiful sight
If the old story calls, it can talk to the bar
We are right where we said, no one lost, no one far
Nobody's holding my bag
Nobody's holding me back
I got a strap for my shoulder
I got my friends where I'm at
Nobody's holding my bag
Let me get both hands up
I don't do the coat-check boyfriend shift
I came here to dance, not to babysit
Keys in the zipper, card in the back
Got my own ride if the night goes flat
But the night's going good and the girls look great
Tell the DJ hold that beat in place
I can like somebody, I can like my space
I can have a whole good night either way
All the little things I carried
All the weight I couldn't see
Tonight I brought the basics
That's enough for me
Nobody's holding my bag
Nobody's holding me back
I got a strap for my shoulder
I got my friends where I'm at
Nobody's holding my bag
Let me get both hands up
Nobody's holding my bag
Keep that rhythm going
