Hold Me Down

Feelin' by myself sometimes
Makin' it so hard to stay
Look around
This can't be life

I see a new day
New wave, it got me through pain
Who ain't gon' see me do thangs
Back turned, but it's okay
Because they two-faced
Uh
Man my life's been a fiasco ain't no Lupe
Takin' heavy food and liquor
Ain't no quttin'
Keep on trooping
Yea
Do for ya mind
Everything the news can't
Nourish it, gotta work it
Out the system in which you caged
Uh
Till ya back's breakin'
Or ya tooth aches
Dyin' to fix it, up in the kitchen
Lookin' for loose change
I can't
Be one of them, I need to move make
Till I stand on
My own ends, but still ain't losing
I feel lost with
And always feelin' cautious
What you think
Now I'm on my Nina Simone
New dawn and new day
And I'm feelin' good
Feelin' right
And righteous
Rightin' wrongs
As I write 'em
Feel so right to write this
In my own zone
Old soul, my life is
On a tight rope
Windy, I still slide despite this
Who gon' catch me?
Better who gon' hold me down?
Feel like nobody knows me now
Seen the best try
Door open please don't close it now
Just as soon as you show me out
Better luck next time

Feelin' by myself sometimes
Makin' it so hard to stay
Look around
This can't be life
Wishin' I could find my way
So I'm leavin'
Anyone that ain't say goodbye
I'm sorry
Feel I fell to pieces
I need this
Leave, gotta write
My own story

Can't find my way in
Miss everytime I aim it
Ain't aimin' for the placers
Still play me when the game ends
Till my last breath
If I soon take it, out it
Find that best
I'll make the music that I love
Till I take my last step
And keep on
Pop in a CD and kick back
And you'll hear me
Thinkin' how strong I must've been
From all that had to of killed me
And never did
Not even when they tightened the rope
But it got heavy holdin' homies
Had to lighten the load
But it's okay
They was never there
When I's at a show
Or opportunities I had that
They was trying to blow
Or talk me down from
Make me seem foolish
All because I'm doin'
Everything y'all wasn't doin'
Y'all wasn't movin'
Y'all on that treadmill talk
Bark the bark from ya doghouse
Failed to walk
Y'all on that chain
Never thrown a bone
Now you wonder why
I been feelin' so alone
I been

Feelin' by myself sometimes
Makin' it so hard to stay
Look around
This can't be life
Wishin' I could find my way
So I'm leavin'
Anyone that ain't say goodbye
I'm sorry
Feel I fell to pieces
I need this
Leave, gotta write
My own story

Feelin' by myself sometimes
Makin' it so hard to stay
Look around
This can't be life
Wishing I could find my way
