Hold YOU Down

You know
In order to hold someone else down
You got to hold yourself down first
And that's when I realized
I can never make any situation bigger than GOD again
Because GOD can bless you with something
Just as quick as he can take it away
So I had to get

Back to the roots
Cause' I was lost for a minute
Back to the soup
Because the broth wasn't in it
Back to this watch
Because the time wasn't ticking
Instead the watch shot Trayvon
And Martin tried to put an end to it
Back to the front
Casue' my back wasn't with it
For you a new start
Because you thought I was finished
A beating humble heart
Seemed to mistake for submissive
Instead I optimized conditions
Which you thought I'd diminish
Cause' growing up in the WOOD'
They thought I would be dead
Until I flipped the script
And made them eat the words that they said
Young and I'm living A degree to my name
So I hold my head high
Walking in my purpose lane
Two stepping and I'm gone' turn it up
Flip the script and slide passed that negative stuff
Cause'
You know you gone make it
Just gotta grind and be patient
And your blessings know thaey waiting
And your faith will help you face it so

Hold you down
You're a real one
And you're making moves to go
Hold you down cause' you've been on
This grind so long
Hold you down
And stay on your grind
Keep ya' head to the sky
Hang on for the ride
Never let a hater
Knock you off of your grind
Two-step to that noise
Cause we're moving just fine

Back on my feet after cupid caught me slipping
Focused on me no more existing
Now I'm living
I
Played around with time
Blinded by the lies
Guessing this is how Helen Keller was feeling she
Couldn't see the truth behind a humanistic figure
And I'm only hearing voices and the tone I was feeling
But shit I
Hurried up
Packed my bag
Popped the trunk
Hit the road
From here on out, I'm going up
Pieces Struck
Destruction hit, I puzzled up
Got Hunter on the beat
Got us going up
Cause lessons turned to blessings
And the truth I cant be scared of
If I bodied, gotta' body
Piece of mind
Is what I ran from

Hold you down
You're a real one
And you're making moves to go
Hold you down cause' you've been on
This grind so long
Hold you down
And stay on your grind
Keep ya' head to the sky
Hang on for the ride
Never let a hater
Knock you off of your grind
Two-step to that noise
Cause' we're moving just fine

You know
You'll never have a testimony
If you don't finish the test
So believe you can do it
Because it's already done
Never let someone tell you
Who you will
And can not become
But you have to be the one to believe
In who you're capable of becoming

Because
You
Only
Understand Yourself
