You Can't Hold Me Down
You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
Why you all wanna stress me for?
Can't a young man have fun anymore?
Been to more places than you ever saw
Why you always wanna keep me poor?
Can't my world be cooler than yours?
Keep a smoke in between my jaws
Or is it my job to point out my flaws
Just because you got your mind on pause?
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
Why you always wanna try and stop me?
I don't think you can really top me
Can't my car be quicker than yours
Or is it my job to always wipe floors?
Don't blame me for the way I live
My work is done, it's time to give
I don't think you should get all mad
Just because I wanna groove so bad
You can sit down and let the world
Bring you down in that spiral twirl
You can't penetrate the crust
And rise above the ice like us
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
Why you always look at me so wrong?
Just because I wear my hair so long?
Can't my world be bigger than yours
Or is it my job to always break laws?
Can't my talk be smoother than yours?
Why you always wanna shut your doors?
I ain't got no time for your wars
You don't have to worry about me no more
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Why you all wanna stress me for?
Can't a young man have fun anymore?
Been to more places than you ever saw
Why you always wanna keep me poor?
Can't my world be cooler than yours?
Keep a smoke in between my jaws
Or is it my job to point out my flaws
Just because you got your mind on pause?
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
Why you always wanna try and stop me?
I don't think you can really top me
Can't my car be quicker than yours
Or is it my job to always wipe floors?
Don't blame me for the way I live
My work is done, it's time to give
I don't think you should get all mad
Just because I wanna groove so bad
You can sit down and let the world
Bring you down in that spiral twirl
You can't penetrate the crust
And rise above the ice like us
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
Why you always look at me so wrong?
Just because I wear my hair so long?
Can't my world be bigger than yours
Or is it my job to always break laws?
Can't my talk be smoother than yours?
Why you always wanna shut your doors?
I ain't got no time for your wars
You don't have to worry about me no more
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
