Hold Us Down
Look
I know sometimes
People in your life might hold you down
At least they try
Keep your head high
Can't let nobody slow you down
Can't slow down or my heart rate fall
I can't stop for nobody at all
They put on so I can't take off
So I lock my door and I transform
My dorm into a place where I can write my songs
Cuz that's the only way I can write my wrongs
So I live my life and as time goes on
I get to break all my chains off
Blow and win each battle I lost
One day I thought to myself
I cannot support anyone else
Can't let your weight hold me down
Refuse to live life locked in a cell
So I put my hands down to the ground
Till I was strong enough to lift world
Stop me now I yell loud
My fist up and my chest out
My big smile, family proud
Y'all funny understand me now
Imma beast unleashed imma issue
But it's show don't tell to convince you
So the way I act ain't a script to
So the meds for my head prevent who
Not me as you see with a magazine thing
For a mouth ain't a doubt what imma be about
In a bout with you cuz I'm tryna break out
Tryna keep me pinned down like I'm in the pound
Coming from a place more deep than a mile
I was living foul
Now hear a wolf howl
Pulling myself by nails unfiled
And I won't stop till I'm standing on floors of golden tile
Blast off from the ground and we aiming for the clouds
For the clouds yea we aiming for the clouds
Ain't gone hold us down all the chains are broken now
Sing it if you proud all the chains are broken now
And I'm back to attack with a plan for the act
In a lac for the stack that I need to combat
On the map is the place that I'm tryna put us at
Rephrase that
Put us on my back in place of the lashes
Cuz Iz no slave im the master
And I own no one but ashes
Will fall from my detractors
If they ever think they matches
Can't match this cuz I'm matchless
I'm the overwhelming factor
With God on my side in his heart I abide
So baby when I practice
Nothing else won't matter
Cuz just that simple fact is
Greater than mind or matter
So I gotta make it better move
And God will make it best to move
To lift me up when I'm destitute
So you stopping me then you better shoot
Or we living free you better choose
Don't be me be a better you
Share the truth, prepare the youth
To move ahead of you, scare the few
On the wrong path repping that avenue
Subtract the ones that don't add to you
Cuz me imma be that radical
That divide his time in half for you
Cuz together we surpass them who
Hold us down, tell em that they can't stop us now
Stomp the ground make a raucous sound
Tell em we headed up for the clouds
Blast off from the ground and we aiming for the clouds
For the clouds yea we aiming for the clouds
Ain't gone hold us down all the chains are broken now
Sing it if you proud all the chains are broken now
Broken now
The chains are broken now
All the chains are broken now
Sing it if you proud
All the chains are broken now
Sing it if u proud
All the chains are broken now
Ain't gone hold us down
All the chains are broken now aye
Ain't gone hold us down
All the chains are broken now aye
Ain't gone hold us down
All the chains are broken now
